Handle incoming calls, for example, answer or reject an incoming call.

•

Stream music from a music-playing device.

•

Make a call directly from the SBH54 call log*.

•

Display event notifications such as text messages, emails, calendar event reminders, and updates from social networking services*.

Using your SBH54 with two devices simultaneously

Your SBH54 has two different connection modes: Multipoint mode and Singlepoint mode. Multipoint mode helps you manage two connections at the same time, for example, it lets you handle calls from one device and play music from another. You must switch to Multipoint mode manually after you pair your headset with a second device successfully. If you stop using one of the two devices, you should switch manually to Singlepoint mode.

Your SBH54 remembers both paired devices. You can reconnect previously paired devices easily by switching back to Multipoint mode from Singlepoint mode. A previously paired device can then be detected automatically.

If your SBH54 is paired with two Android™ devices, you must select one of them as the primary device for viewing event notifications and handling calls on the headset.

You can only connect to a maximum of two devices in Multipoint mode. If you pair the SBH54 with a third device, the first paired device gets removed from the memory of the headset.
