What Is A Hands Free Product?
Hands Free Accessories allow you to talk on the phone while you safely
drive or work. Instead of holding your mobile cellular phone, keep your
hands free to do other things. Perfect for driving, working, or gardening.
There are two categories of hands free products available for wireless
phones: portable hands free accessories and hands free car kits. They
are both useful and dependable, yet meet different needs.
Portable Hands Free Accessory
A portable hands free accessory is an item which
can allow a person to use his/her wireless phone without actually
holding the phone up to his/her ear. These types of products usually
consist of both a microphone and earpiece for easy and comfortable
discussion without having the phone in the users hand at the time
of the conversation. This accessory can be used anywhere, including,
but not limited to, an automobile.
Hands Free Car Kit
A hands free car kit is specifically designed for
use in the car. It is a product which allows a person to use a wireless
phone without actually holding the phone in his/her hand. t is mandatory
in some states to use hands free earpieces if you want to talk on
your phone while driving.
The product may be as simple as a device which plugs
into the cigarette lighter to access a power supply and offer an
external speaker and microphone, or requires the permanent installation
of such components as a power booster, speaker and microphone. In
some cases, a car kit may require professional installation.
