Getting the Most Out of Your BlueParrott Headset with the BlueParrott App
If you're a professional driver like my wife, or simply value clear communication on the go, a BlueParrott headset is an essential tool. But to truly unlock its potential, I highly recommend checking out the BlueParrott App. It's designed to make your headset experience even better.
Why I Think You Should Download the BlueParrott App
The BlueParrott App, in my opinion, provides extra features and customization options for your headset. At first, I didn't think I needed it. Now, I wouldn't want to go without it! It's user-friendly and, after a bit of setup, it integrates seamlessly with your BlueParrott headset. It offers functionality beyond just basic call answering.
Updating Your Headset
Before diving into the app's features, it's important to make sure your headset's firmware is up-to-date. I learned this the hard way. For the app to work correctly, you might need to connect your headset to a computer and use the VXI update tool to install the latest firmware. This ensures that your headset and the app are communicating effectively. Trust me, it's worth the effort!
Customizing the Parrot Button
One of my favorite features of the BlueParrott App is the ability to customize the Parrot Button. This button can be programmed to perform various functions, such as activating voice-to-text. Imagine being able to dictate text messages hands-free while driving! It's an amazing convenience, especially for those long hauls. I would like a double click to send too! It can really help to eliminate the need to constantly interact with your phone.
Sound Quality and Noise Cancellation
BlueParrott headsets are known for their excellent sound quality and noise cancellation. I once tested mine in an extremely noisy environment with lawn mowers and other equipment running. The person on the other end of the line couldn't hear any of the background noise, which is very impressive! With a clean and easy to use interface it provides the support needed.
FAQ About The BlueParrott App
Do I need a Gmail email to use the Parrot Button?
It might help. One thing I heard is that it's best to use a Gmail address for the Parrot Button to function correctly.
What if the app says, "Attempting to connect, no device found?"
Make sure you're holding the power button long enough. After it says "Power On," keep holding it until it says "Pairing." Also, make sure your phone's Bluetooth is enabled and your headset is discoverable.
Why isn't the app working for me?
First, update your headset's firmware using the VXI update tool on your computer. An outdated VXI tool may not notify you that an update is available. Download the latest tool from VXI.
