The Helium Digital Bluetooth Communicator HDBT-110 (4)

There are also audio cues provided for power on (ascending tones), paired (single blip), and shut down (descending tones).
Once everything is paired up, operation is simple and straightforward. The only slight oddity I found was the use of the Volume Down (-) key to initiate Voice Dialing, since my Motorola BT Headset uses the pickup button. Since the Communicator supports advanced functions like Call Waiting and Conferencing (if you’ve subscribed to these) each of the buttons has multiple functions, based on the current mode and tap vs. press and hold. All of these are explained very clearly in the User Manual which comes with the unit.
In the Car
If you’d bother to read the promotional material on the Communicator, you meet the reference to a “unique magnetic mounting system“. The package comes with two very cool mounting attachments – one for the visor, and another which can be clipped into the ventilation grille.
The visor one is simply a U-shaped piece of springy metal (see package contents above) which slides onto the visor. There is an indentation built into the straight piece of metal which exactly fits the magnets on the bottom of the Communicator. Although the magnets are not super strong and don’t give that satisfying ‘clunk’ when they’ve attached, everything seemed to stay in place well. I never got the feeling the Communicator was going to come flying off the mounting on a sudden stop.
