Bluetooth Stereo Adapter Helps Keep Gadgets Safe from Thieves

Stockton-on-Tees, UK (15th May 2008) – LINDY Electronics announced today the launch of its Bluetooth Stereo Adapter that allows users on the move to listen to music and talk to friends, whilst leaving their more expensive Bluetooth enabled devices such as a mobile phone or MP3 player tucked safely away from thieves.

The compact Bluetooth receiver allows the user to adjust the volume, switch between tracks and answer calls, it even automatically cuts the music when a phone call is received enabling the user to speak easily into the built-in microphone. Complete with a pair of in-ear stereo headphones, which use a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, the LINDY Bluetooth Stereo Adapter includes everything the user needs to enjoy wireless streaming music.

“According to the National Mobile Phone Crime Unit, a mobile phone is stolen in nearly half of all street crime,” says Andrew Ingram, Product Manager of LINDY Electronics. “Keeping expensive gadgets out of sight when you’re out and about makes sense, but it’s often then that you most want to use them. Using the Bluetooth connection already available in most portable devices to stream music and calls to the less expensive adapter is a simple way of deflecting attention from any would be mugger.”

The LINDY Bluetooth Stereo Adapter’s built-in battery provides up to ten hours playing time and can be easily charged from a PC’s USB port using the USB charger cable supplied. The receiver supports A2DP, AVRCP, headset and handsfree profiles and provides a fast and stable connection compliant with Bluetooth 1.1 and 1.2 specifications.
