Introduction
The Bluetooth technology enables voice and data to be sent via a short-distance radio link. It allows several electronic devices to communicate with each other, particularly phones and hands-free kits. Parrot is drawing on its long years of experience in signal processing and voice recognition technology to offer a hands-free kit with superior audio quality during calls: the Parrot SK4000. With the Parrot SK4000, you will be able to make phone calls from your motorbike while keeping your hands on the handlebars. You can also use the audio streaming function on your hands-free kit to listen to the music files stored on your phone, PDA or audio player (if your phone, PDA or audio player supports the audio streaming function).
