New ezTalker Digital Advanced Bluetooth Headset with Optimized Display

December 13, 2005–Tekkeon, a provider of innovative accessories for mobile electronic products, today announces EZTALKER DIGITAL, its next-generation Bluetooth v1.2 headset with an optimized organic LED (OLED) screen that significantly simplifies making and receiving calls. With the presentation of incoming caller ID and quick access to many advanced features, EZTALKER DIGITAL minimizes the need for direct interaction with the mobile phone.

Tekkeon optimized EZTALKER DIGITAL with an OLED that allows for a bright, easy-to-read display which is brighter and uses less power than a traditional LED. This 64x48 pixel OLED provides the incoming caller's number and the list of stored numbers in a call list for easy redial. The call list contains the last 15 received numbers, which are automatically stored on the headset, and can be quickly browsed and dialed. Information about the headset, including headset status, connection status, battery level, and volume level, is available at a glance on the display.

"EZTALKER DIGITAL has been designed to enable users to virtually cut the ties with the mobile phone," says Jerry Yang, president of Tekkeon. "By taking advantage of incoming caller ID, a stored call list, and a long list of advanced features, users can answer and make calls directly from the headset, without having to juggle the headset and the mobile phone."

EZTALKER DIGITAL is equipped with a rechargeable lithium polymer battery that provides up to five hours of talk time and 120 hours of standby time while maximizing the quality of communication through the headset. (When used with mobile phones that support an HV3 connection, EZTALKER DIGITAL provides up to eight hours of talk time.) The battery is conveniently housed in the headset earhook so that it can be replaced with a spare to provide even more hours of talk time. And the power adapter plugs directly into the headset earhook, eliminating the need to carry a cradle.

EZTALKER DIGITAL's over-the-ear design puts the headset controls at the user's fingertips. Making and receiving calls is simple with one-touch access to pairing, answer, end, reject, and transfer call, power on/off, volume control, mute, call waiting, last number redial, and voice-activated dialing. Both visual and audible indicators identify the headset mode, and provide a low battery indication.

The headset speaker sits comfortably in the ear to precisely direct sound and the microphone is positioned to direct speech, while significantly minimizing background noise.

Designed with Bluetooth v1.2 technology, EZTALKER DIGITAL is backward compatible with Bluetooth v1.1 devices, and works with any device that supports Bluetooth headset and/or handsfree profiles. The headset includes a chip antenna that provides superior reception between the headset and mobile phone within the Bluetooth standard 30 foot range. That means the phone can be placed in a briefcase, pocket, or another room—virtually anywhere within that range.

Weighing in at under an ounce and measuring just over two inches in length, EZTALKER DIGITAL is unobtrusive and comfortable to wear for extended periods. The versatile earhook can be adjusted to be worn on either ear.
