■Other Cautions
Auto power off
•To save battery power, the power automatically turns off if there is no
access for 60 seconds.
The auto power off function is not activated when the BWC is con-
nected to a computer or mobile phone.
PIN code
•Set the “non-secure mode” when connecting the BWC to a product
of a maker other than Toshiba.
The connection request beep from the mobile phone
may sound while the BWC is connected in the AUDIO or
COM mode.
When the connection request beep sounds, the sound
in the AUDIO or COM mode cannot be heard, and in the
COM mode voice input via the microphone is not
possible.
