1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:07,279
so today I'm going to be unboxing the blue ant S1 this is a Bluetooth car kit

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:11,200
and it is a handsfree device that basically just allows you to drive in

3
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:15,360
your car without using your hands on your cell phone now with the local laws

4
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:19,880
changing these have become a very hot product category because come the New

5
00:00:17,240 --> 00:00:23,640
Year everyone will be required to use one legally in order to talk on their

6
00:00:22,359 --> 00:00:30,480
phone while they're driving so let's have a look at some of the features that make the S1 a particularly good value

7
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:34,399
first of all you can talk handsfree okay very good it supports voice dialing as

8
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:37,480
well as voice answering it is multi-point so that means if you have

9
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:41,039
one of these in your car you can actually have two different people with

10
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:44,800
their phones uh mounted to it and then whichever one Rings you can answer that

11
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:48,800
phone that's very convenient has noise and Echo cancellation Bluetooth 2.0 you

12
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:53,760
can stream music from your phone it operates up to 10 M from the phone and

13
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:55,280
if you have a 10 m long car then yeah I

14
00:00:53,760 --> 00:01:00,600
mean okay that should basically be all you really need okay up to 15 hours of

15
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:04,239
talk time and8 hours of sorry 800 hours of standby so let's get this open and

16
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:09,280
have a quick look now I also want to do a quick video outlining the uh setup

17
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:14,479
procedure for this but let's have just a short look at the unit itself if I could

18
00:01:11,799 --> 00:01:20,759
just get the Box open then that would work really really really well okay so

19
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:25,640
I've actually used one of these before although it wasn't an S1 but I found it

20
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:30,000
was uh these visor mounted kits are an incredibly effective way of mounting the

21
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:33,880
handsfree in your kit in a way that it can actually hear you and you can hear

22
00:01:31,479 --> 00:01:38,280
the speaker clearly without window noise affecting it okay so first of all it

23
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:43,600
comes with a charger so this is just a standard wall jack to USB 5vt charger so

24
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:46,799
that means you could probably charge it and I'm going to say with 99% certainty

25
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:50,399
you could charge it if you just plugged it into your computer with a USB cable

26
00:01:49,399 --> 00:01:55,200
so let's have a look at the documentation that comes with it first

27
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:59,399
of all we have okay wow there's like four different things in here S1 okay so

28
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:03,360
this gives you a brief overview of the unit itself s so you can see that we've

29
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:08,039
got the speaker the Bluetooth light the microphone the charger port and/ reject

30
00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:11,879
button volume up and down and the multi-function button so this is onof

31
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:17,080
pairing answering calls voice dialing Redal and audio transfer Okay so we've

32
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:20,959
got all that then you've got a basic manual showing you how to do pretty much

33
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:25,840
everything you need to do so it's a quick start guide then we have that but

34
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:30,160
in French all right and then we have a warranty information card and then

35
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:36,319
finally last but not least we have the S1 itself so let me just see if I can

36
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:41,480
figure out how to get this out of here oh that's um I may not be able to get

37
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:47,200
this out because I'm just not that clever some days and oh there we go okay

38
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:50,560
so the clip comes off here at least it's

39
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:52,040
supposed to I think yeah clip comes the

40
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:55,280
clip comes off and

41
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:02,040
then the clip comes off awesome I didn't

42
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:05,080
break it okay so the clip comes off and this is the clip that you use to mount

43
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:08,920
it to your sun visor so that it basically sits above your head right

44
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,879
about here and you can see that the mic is conveniently positioned on this side

45
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:17,159
so that it's going to be away from the window and here we can have a look at all the different features that we have

46
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:20,799
here so we've got the speaker and then there's your Bluetooth light there's the

47
00:03:18,519 --> 00:03:24,640
mic there's the charging port that was mentioned in our quick start guide and

48
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:29,040
then here are all the pertinent buttons so there's your your main confirm okay

49
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:34,120
button volume up and down as well as your cancel reject Etc button so it's

50
00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:38,720
quite it's quite a light unit and I look forward to showing you guys how to set

51
00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:38,720
it up
