Motorola Expands Bluetooth Portfolio with
New Wireless Speaker
Accessory
Diverse Motorola
Portfolio with Bluetooth® Wireless Technology Offers Consumers Seamless
Connectivity with Style and Ease
LAS VEGAS,
Nev., January 8, 2004 -- Today, at the 2004 International Consumer Electronics
Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) unveiled the latest addition
to its Bluetooth portfolio -- the new HF800 Portable Wireless Speaker. The
Motorola HF800 Portable Wireless Speaker is a compact
and stylish accessory that can act as a hands-free speakerphone or wireless
headset jack when connected to any compatible Bluetooth enabled device up to a
10-meter range.
“We continue to strive
to offer consumers compelling communications solutions that enable them to enjoy
the active, mobile lifestyles that they crave” said Bruce Hawver, vice
president and general manager of companion products for Motorola’s
Personal Communications Sector. “The Motorola HF800 Portable Wireless
Speaker is a perfect example of this – delivering a powerful solution for
business people who want to cut the cord from the office conference phone or for
people who are always on the go and want an easy-to-use solution for hands-free
communications.”
The ultra-compact
Motorola HF800 Portable Wireless Speaker fits in the palm of your hand and
features a powerful one-Watt speaker that delivers clear, crisp sound quality by
using sophisticated echo and noise reduction technology.
Ease of use complements the products
convenience and portability. Simply push the multifunction button to answer,
end, and initiate calls and perform three-way calling and call hold functions;
push the Mute button to mute and unmute calls. The speaker’s impressive
battery life allows for a talk time of up to three hours and standby time of up
to 100 hours. Additionally, charging is simple, as the unique new Motorola
HF800 Portable Wireless Speaker uses the same travel and car chargers as most
compatible Motorola phones.
Bluetooth
enthusiasts will appreciate the fact that the Motorola HF800 with Bluetooth
wireless technology stores device-pairing information and wirelessly interacts
with up to eight different Bluetooth 1.1 compliant devices, including handsets,
PDA’s and computers.
The new Motorola
HF800 Portable Wireless Speaker complements Motorola’s diverse portfolio
of Bluetooth wireless technology-enabled in-vehicle, wireless handset and
wireless accessory solutions, including the recently announced third generation
Bluetooth Wireless headset – the Motorola HS810. The Motorola HS810, a
“CES Innovations 2004 Design and Engineering Showcase”
honoree in the Accessories category, allows users to connect wirelessly to
Bluetooth enabled devices up to a 10-meter range. Delivering invisible and
reliable connectivity, the new ergonomic headset weighs less than one ounce (20
grams) and offers a sleek style with a unique boom microphone, as well as high
quality sound.
Both the Motorola HF800 Wireless
Speaker and the Motorola HS810 Bluetooth Wireless Headset complete the true
wireless experience with the recently announced Motorola V600 phone which will
be available in February at AT&T Wireless stores
nationwide.
