Noise Reduction and Voice Isolation
To ensure that you can always be heard, even in the noisiest of environments, the Q1 comes with
BlueAnt's Voice Isolation Technology, which is designed to eliminate background noise and reduce
wind noise.
There are two modes of voice isolation. The best one to use will depend on the environment you are
in:
• Standard Voice Isolation mode is well suited to normal everyday environments. It gives you a
natural sounding voice while removing mild background noise.
• Maximum Voice Isolation mode gives you high levels of voice intelligibility in very noisy
environments.
Double click the BlueAnt button at any time during a call to switch between the two
voice isolation modes. When the call finishes, the Q1 will automatically revert to
standard voice isolation mode.
Please note that the button click to switch voice isolation modes was changed in
firmware version 8.19. If you have an older version of the firmware installed on your
Q1, then you switch voice isolation modes with a single click of the BlueAnt button.
You can check what version of the firmware is installed on your Q1 by looking at the
version number shown in the Bluetooth pairing list on your phone.
Which Voice Isolation Mode Should I Use?
Use Standard Voice Isolation... Use Maximum Voice Isolation...
In the office In a noisy restaurant
At home While walking or in a vehicle
In a quiet environment When there is background music
The standard and maximum voice isolation settings both use the same amount of battery power.
