The Motorola H19TXT does not have Bluetooth 4.0 capability. Technical details state it only supports Bluetooth 3.0.
This Bluetooth earpiece pairs almost automatically with an iDevice. You need only turn Bluetooth on using Control center or via settings > Bluetooth. First turn on your iDevice. Now put the earpiece on your ear and flick the mic open. You will hear audio coming from the mic telling you it is pairing. Swipe down the Bluetooth screen on your iDevice and accept the Bluetooth headset as soon as it shows on screen. tip: when wanting to use this Bluetooth headpiece after it's initial pairing, first turn on your iDevice and it's Bluetooth capability, then flick open the headset. By connecting in this order you will not get the "ready to pair" prompt; the Bluetooth earpiece will connect automatically. My experience with this headpiece: I have found that I can go as far as some 30 feet before losing signal. The specs state this Bluetooth headpiece has a range of 300 feet, which is probably impossible outside of Motorola's R&D labs. Lots of similar reviews on Amazon. To test loss of signal or audio distortion, I walked 30 feet or so from my iPod Touch 5th gen while turning my body around to investigate if I would experience this phenomenon, and I had no signal loss at all. At about 30 feet, I stopped walking, I placed my hand over the earpiece, and I could no longer hear the audio. If I removed my hand away from the earpiece I would once again begin hearing the audio after about 3 seconds. within about 10 feet of my iDevice I placed my hand over the earpiece and did not experience any loss of audio at all. these findings are a result of my simple 2 minute tests, and of course, because your living environment will undoubtedly vary, you should have a different but similar experience. Don't forget to go into Control Center to turn off Bluetooth when not using as Bluetooth devices are battery hogs. Oh yeah, I've not experienced any echoing effect. After the initial use, in the event you do need to pair the earpiece, it pairs automatically in about 7 seconds. When you turn off the earpiece, the audio will start coming out of your iDevice in less than a second. This thing is small so be absolutely sure you find a single spot for it and "always" put it back in that same spot as this thing will get lost very quickly if one isn't mindful of where the item is put down. To give you the idea of the size of this thing, it feels like a thick pair of short nail clippers. I couldn't figure out how the heck to attach the included foam ear plug things. <Smile>.

The closer the phone is to your body, the size of your body, and the bluetooth version, all play a role in how much the break-up will effect you. Basically, water in body mass is a radio frequency absorber. The closer to your body the radio source is, the more the radio frequencies are absorbed. Therefore, nobody can answer your questions with absolute assurity. That said, the Motorola H19TXT supports bluetooth 4.0. In line of sight tests, bluetooth 4.0 can range 75 feet from the transmitting device and still receive clear signal. This higher output level means one's body should block less of the radio signal, so one should experience fewer choppy cross-body connection problems compared with earlier bluetooth version devices. As to the occasional echo and sound problems from iOS 6, I have not yet experienced any of these problems in iOS 7, so am hopeful that Apple has corrected this issue.
