Motorola Advances the Mobile Music Experience through Bluetooth

New suite of Bluetooth wireless-enabled products merges wire-free mobility with musical entertainment

LAS VEGAS, NV. – 6 January 2004 – Motorola Inc. (NYSE: MOT) forges new ground in mobile music with the announcement of the Motorola Bluetooth® Stereo Headset HT820, Motorola Bluetooth® Stereo Transceiver DC800 and Motorola Bluetooth® USB PC Adapter PC850. Designed for freedom, ease of use and seamless access to favorite songs, this trio creates a premium hi-fi wireless mobile music system.

As the first headset of its kind on the market, the Motorola HT820 wirelessly connects to a Bluetooth wireless-enabled phone and a separate music source simultaneously – promising that users can enjoy favorite songs without missing a call. Music automatically pauses when a call comes in and when the call ends, the music resumes play. The intuitive headset features controls for both the music source and mobile phone – making it easy to play, pause or stop a favorite song, as well as receive, answer or end calls wirelessly.

“Motorola continues to lead the industry with its development of innovative Bluetooth wireless-enabled handsets and accessories,” said Bruce Hawver, vice president and general manager, Companion Products Group, Motorola, Personal Device Business. “Whether looking for an in-vehicle solution, headset, a wire-free music experience, consumers can rely on Motorola’s Bluetooth portfolio for style, simplicity and advanced functionality.”

Motorola’s new trio of music-focused Bluetooth products eliminates the clutter of cables and provides Bluetooth connections for up to 10m (30 feet) – delivering flexible, high-quality, hands-free communication and entertainment.
