Logitech Bluetooth Speaker
Logitech Bluetooth Speaker P710e: The Logitech Bluetooth Speaker is great for improving the microphone feature on smart phones or tablets. This can be very useful for conference calls because it allows for greater range of the participlants to be picked up by the microphone. Also the base has an output jack for a mini stereo audio cable so that recieved audio can be re-broadcasted on external speakers so that more people can listen to the conversation.
For charging or connecting to a computer, attach the USB cable from the speaker unit into your PC. To use the Bluetooth function for connecting to a smart phone or tablet start by pressing the power button on the side. Once the speaker turns on go into your phone/tablet's bluetooth settings and search for "Logitech Speakerphone P710e", then tap on it to connect. You may have to scan for nearby devices and/or make your device visible so that both devices can connect.
