Services Menu
Options set using the services menu are applied to the currently selected phone.
Connect automatically
Attempt to open the Bluetooth connection whenever the phone is in-range.
Suspend/Resume Hands-Free
Turn Hands-Free functionality off and on.
Only open Hands-Free during calls
Enable this option for phones with limited or unreliable Hands-Free connections. BluePhoneElite will not connect as a Hands-Free device until it detects active calls. When enabled, this option may significantly increase the amount of time it takes to answer or dial a call. This option is only available for phones supporting connections from non-Hands-Free devices.
SMS Delivery Options
Open the SMS Delivery Options panel.
Run Setup
Repeat setup for the selected device.
If you have disconnected from a device using the device menu, BluePhoneElite will not attempt to auto-connect until either the device has exited range and re-entered, BluePhoneElite is quit and re-launched, or you manually connect to the device.
SMS Delivery Options Panel
Request message delivery reports
Tell the Short Message Service Center (SMSC) to send a notification message back to your phone when your sent message is delivered or if an problem occurred.
Delivery reports will appear as regular text messages but the phone will typically not store them.
Matching delivery reports to the original sent message is not possible on most phones, as they do not provide a reliable message ID. Support for this feature is being considered, but is currently a low priority.
Short Message Service Center (SMSC)
Some phones require BluePhoneElite to set the SMSC address before a message can be sent.
Ask your service provider if you are unsure what to put here.
Leave this field blank to use the default SMSC address.
Advanced Options Panel
Close connections when the computer is inactive
The computer will not sleep automatically until Bluetooth connections are closed.
Show computer as a Bluetooth Hands-Free device
Change the class of the local Bluetooth hardware so that the computer appears as a Hands-Free device to other Bluetooth devices.
This option changes the Bluetooth class whenever BluePhoneElite is running. When this option is off, the class is only changed during a Hands-Free connection.
Device descriptions
The device descriptions file allows BluePhoneElite to identify phones that require the BPEnabler. It also provides important compatibility information that can be displayed when a problematic phone is detected.
The Bluetooth Phone Setup Assistant will offer to update the device descriptions file if it appears out-of-date. However, you can click the Update button to manually update the file.
Hands-Free Audio
Use the microphone and speaker options if the input or output device you wish to use for calls is different from the device set in the Sound panel of the OS X System Preferences. It is not possible to use a Bluetooth headset as an audio device with Hands-Free.
Reduce noise and echos from microphone
Improves the audio quality for the other party by removing feedback caused by the microphone picking up sound from the speaker.
