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

00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:11.200
and it is a handsfree device that basically just allows you to drive in

00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:15.360
your car without using your hands on your cell phone now with the local laws

00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:19.880
changing these have become a very hot product category because come the New

00:00:17.240 --> 00:00:23.640
Year everyone will be required to use one legally in order to talk on their

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

00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:34.399
first of all you can talk handsfree okay very good it supports voice dialing as

00:00:32.680 --> 00:00:37.480
well as voice answering it is multi-point so that means if you have

00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:41.039
one of these in your car you can actually have two different people with

00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:44.800
their phones uh mounted to it and then whichever one Rings you can answer that

00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:48.800
phone that's very convenient has noise and Echo cancellation Bluetooth 2.0 you

00:00:47.360 --> 00:00:53.760
can stream music from your phone it operates up to 10 M from the phone and

00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:55.280
if you have a 10 m long car then yeah I

00:00:53.760 --> 00:01:00.600
mean okay that should basically be all you really need okay up to 15 hours of

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

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

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

00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:20.759
just get the Box open then that would work really really really well okay so

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

00:01:22.960 --> 00:01:30.000
was uh these visor mounted kits are an incredibly effective way of mounting the

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

00:01:31.479 --> 00:01:38.280
the speaker clearly without window noise affecting it okay so first of all it

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

00:01:41.880 --> 00:01:46.799
that means you could probably charge it and I'm going to say with 99% certainty

00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:50.399
you could charge it if you just plugged it into your computer with a USB cable

00:01:49.399 --> 00:01:55.200
so let's have a look at the documentation that comes with it first

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

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

00:02:01.240 --> 00:02:08.039
got the speaker the Bluetooth light the microphone the charger port and/ reject

00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:11.879
button volume up and down and the multi-function button so this is onof

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:17.080
pairing answering calls voice dialing Redal and audio transfer Okay so we've

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

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

00:02:23.200 --> 00:02:30.160
in French all right and then we have a warranty information card and then

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

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

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

00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:50.560
so the clip comes off here at least it's

00:02:47.200 --> 00:02:52.040
supposed to I think yeah clip comes the

00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:55.280
clip comes off and

00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:02.040
then the clip comes off awesome I didn't

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

00:03:03.480 --> 00:03:08.920
it to your sun visor so that it basically sits above your head right

00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:11.879
about here and you can see that the mic is conveniently positioned on this side

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

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

00:03:18.519 --> 00:03:24.640
mic there's the charging port that was mentioned in our quick start guide and

00:03:22.720 --> 00:03:29.040
then here are all the pertinent buttons so there's your your main confirm okay

00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:34.120
button volume up and down as well as your cancel reject Etc button so it's

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

00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:38.720
it up
