Accelerometer Sensor
A1 is equipped with Accelerometer Sensor to detect movement and thereby
allowing the device to have some useful functions as follows :
1) ‘Automatic Mode Switching’ - Sets the best talk environment for user
depending on where the A1 is used. If A1 is clipped onto sun visor, it automatically
enters into ‘Car Handsfree’ mode and when placed on table, it enters into
‘Speakerphone’ mode.
2) ‘Automatic Invertible OLED’ function - OLED display will be automatically
inverted depending on whether the A1 is placed upright or upside down.
3) ‘Auto-Connection’ function - Allows A1 to automatically reconnect to BT phone
when car engine is started or when car is being driven.

Charging the Battery
z If battery level is low, battery level indicator icon will be displayed as empty.
z To charge the battery, connect the handsfree kit to AC/DC power adapter or PC
using the USB Cable.
z During charging, the battery level indicator will flash with the text ‘Charging’
displayed in static motion.

z When charged, the text ‘Charged’ will be displayed in flashing motion.

Switching the A1 ON/OFF
z To switch on A1, slide the power switch to O. With a boot tone, it will first display
the sonorix logo followed by connection state icons and battery level indication. For
battery power saving, display will turn off after 10 seconds.
z To switch off A1, slide the power switch to X.
Except during talk mode, battery power consumption is very low and therefore, it
is not necessary to switch off power. And by keeping the A1 switched on, you
can enjoy the special feature of “Automatic Connection” with phone when car
engine is started.
Switch off power only if device will not be used for more than 1 month.

Echo & Noise Cancellation
z DSP(Digital Signal Processor) integrated A1 eliminates echo and noise thereby
providing clear voice quality even under harsh environmental conditions.
z If A1 is used as ‘Car Handsfree’ mode in car, it eliminates surrounding noise
(engine noise, wind noise, surrounding noise, radio sound etc.) and delivers clear
voice to the other party. Also, it eliminates echo signals created by transmission of
car speaker sounds to the microphone. The above mechanism for echo and noise
cancellation is realized through the use of 2 microphone system and high-tech
algorithm which cancels out unnecessary noise and delivers only the user voice.
The directional microphones process only the user voice signal and therefore, for
best performance for use in car, mount the A1 onto sun visor.
z On the other hand, if A1 is used as ‘Speakerphone’ mode, it doesn’t matter in
which direction the A1 is placed as noise signals generated from all directions will
be processed thereby making it suitable for conference calls. However, it is
important to note that the performance of ‘Speakerphone’ mode can be slightly less
than ‘Car Handsfree’ mode.
z The transition from one mode to another and vice-versa takes place automatically.
That is, if A1 is placed upright, ‘Speakerphone’ mode will be activated and likewise,
if it is placed upside down, ‘Car Handsfree’ mode will be activated. However, this
automatic mode transition doesn’t take effect during talk mode.
