About Pairing
Why Pair?
The HOLA device is based on Bluetooth Protocol for
wireless connections and communication. Bluetooth Protocol
requires any two Bluetooth devices to be “paired” before
any communication can takes place between them. Once
paired, turning on and off any Bluetooth device will not affect
the pairing. In other words, after pairing has been correctly
executed, a Bluetooth device will automatically reconnect to the
originally paired device when it is powered on again.
Which Devices to Pair?
To use the HOLA with a cell phone, GPS, MP3, another HOLA
headset, or other Bluetooth devices, a pairing process must be
performed for the HOLA headset to connect with each other
device respectively.
How to Pair:
Pairing with a Cell Phone:
(1).Beginning with the HOLA headset in OFF state, press the
[MFB] button on the HOLA headset for 8 seconds until the LED
ashes red/blue.
(2).Activate the Bluetooth function on cell phone to search for
the HOLA-S/HOLA-F.
(3).Input password <0000> to complete the connection. The
LED ashes blue slowly to indicate successful pairing.

12
(4).The HOLA headset can be paired with two cell phones.
When pairing, please note that the last cell phone paired
supports the functions of “voice dialing”, “re-connect with cell
phone” and “A2DP stereo music playing.” Refer to the cell
phone manual for the operation of two cell phones.
Set Cell Phone Answering Mode
Once paired, set the answering mode of the cell phone as (a)
voice answer, or (b) automatic answer.
(a) Voice Answer: Press the [V+] button for 7 seconds until the
LED turns green. A voice notification will inform you <Voice
Answering Mode>.
(b) Automatic answer: Press the [V-] button for 7 seconds
until the LED turns green. A voice notification will inform you
<Automatic Answering Mode >.
Note: After the HOLA headset has been paired with a cell
phone, the default answering mode is voice answer.
ENGLISH

13
Pairing with a GPS:
**The GPS must support simultaneous connections to a headset
and cell phone. (Ex. Garmin Zumo 550, 660 Model. For any
specic GPS model, please consult your GPS user’s manual for
details.)
(1).On the GPS, search for cell phone and connect to cell phone
option.
(2).When the HOLA is in OFF state, press the [MFB] button on
the HOLA headset for 6 seconds until the LED ashes red/blue.
(3).Activate the GPS Bluetooth and search for the HOLA-S/
HOLA-F.
(4).Input password <0000> to complete connection. The LED
ashes blue slowly to indicate successful pairing.
** For GPS only supporting a connection to a headset: if your
GPS only supports a connection to a headset, you can pair a
GPS and cell phone to the HOLA headset separately.
(1).Beginning with the HOLA headset in OFF state, press the
[MFB] button on the headset for 6 seconds until the LED ashes
red/blue alternatingly.
(2).Activate GPS Bluetooth and search for the HOLA-S/HOLA-F.
(3).Input password <0000> to complete connection. The LED
ashes blue slowly to indicate successful pairing.

14
Pairing with Another HOLA:
HOLA can also be paired with up-to 3 other HOLAs for intercom
use.
(1).To pair two HOLAs (e.g., A and B), the following operations
must be performed on both A and B, respectively.
(2).Beginning with the HOLA headset in OFF state, press the
[MFB] button on the headset (A or B) for 6 seconds until the
LED ashes red/blue alternatingly to enter the “pairing” state.
(3).For pairing between A headset and B headset, you can
designate either the [MFB] button, [V+] or [V-] buttons on
A headset to pair with B headset. Likewise, you could also
designate either the [MFB] button, [V+] or [V-] buttons on B
headset to pair with A headset. The button you choose to set
the pairing is also the button used to initiate the intercom with
that specic headset.
(a) To pair using the [MFB]: Press and hold [MFB] on A headset
until the LED on A headset flashes faster, then continue
pressing until the LED lights on both A headset and B headset
display blue to indicate successful pairing. (At this point, you
have successfully paired the [MFB] button on A headset to the B
headset.)
ENGLISH

15
(b) To pair using the [V+] button: Press and hold [V+] on A
headset until the LED light on A headset indicates red/blue/
green alternating for about 5 seconds, and then red/blue
alternating. Then, press the [MFB] button on A headset again
so that the LED on A headset ashes faster and the LED lights
on both A headset and B headset display blue to indicate
successful pairing. (At this point, you have successfully paired
the [V+] button on A headset to the B headset.
**NOTE: For the headset in the “pairing” state, the [MFB] is
the default pairing button if you do not choose otherwise. For
example, when both A headset and B headset are in the “pairing”
state, if you choose [V+] on A headset and do not make any
choice on B headset, the [MFB] on B headset will be the default
for the pairing. In other words, [MFB] on B headset will be
paired to A headset, and [V+] on A headset will be paired to B
headset.
(c) To pair using the [V-] button: Press and hold [V-] on A
headset until the LED light on A headset indicates red/blue/
green alternating for about 5 seconds, and then red/blue
alternating. Then, press [MFB] on A headset again so that the
LED on A headset flashes faster until the LED lights on both
A headset and B headset display blue to indicate successful
pairing. (At this point, you have successfully paired the [V-]
button on A headset to the B headset.)

16
(4).The buttons [MFB], [V+], and [V-] can be selected to pair
with different HOLAs, respectively.
(5).The pairing between HOLAs does not necessarily need to be
symmetrical. For example, A headset can use [MFB] to pair with
B headset, but B headset can use [V+] to pair with A headset
and use [MFB] to pair with C headset.
(6).Each button can only remember a pairing to one HOLA
headset at a time. When you use the same button to pair with a
different HOLA, the previous pairing will be replaced.
ENGLISH

17
Although no priority exists among the [MFB], [V+] and [V-]
buttons on the HOLA, it is suggested to pair the [MFB] button
to the HOLA because of its location, size and ease of access
through feel (with riding gloves on). For example, to pair up A,
B, C and D headsets, wherein A headset and B headset are
most often in contact, while C headset and D headset are most
often in contact with each other, the following choice of buttons
for pairing can be used (for HOLA-F, which can pair up to three
other HOLA headsets):
