The Explorer 330, 340 and 350 will be available as Headset only. Approvals are expected as Headset only. • The Plantronics Explorer series utilizes the latest Bluetooth technology (v2.0 + EDR or v 1.2) features from CSR, including the single-point feature, to provide seamless operation of the headset with another Bluetooth enabled device. The Headset contains Class 2 Transceivers • Other performance differentiators include improved 2.4GHz coexistence features such as Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH), for best audio performance in an 802.11 interference environment. This will include EDR for optimum data transmission. Toga will not include eSCO. • There are 3 versions of the Explorer. 330, 340, 350 are identical electrically and functionally. The 340 and 350 variants are distinguished solely by in box accessories for headset stowage. The 330 differs solely in color, material and finish ONLY • The only difference between the versions is the external plastic finish. 2.2.1 Accessories • Universal travel charger Multi-voltage charger with interchangeable pins for SMIF • Car charging CLA cable Product Description for Compliance Plantronics Confidential Rev 1 page 5 of 7 • Desk Top Headset Holder Plastic holder for h/s while charging.
