CHARGE THE BATTERY
1. Insert the Charging Cable into the Headset USB Port.
2. Charge for 3 hours prior to use.
Solid Red LED indicates charging.
Solid Green LED indicates headset is fully charged.
CONNECTING HEADSET TO DEVICE
To use the Advantage Headset with a Bluetooth Device, such as a mobile computer or
industrial tablet, you must rst establish a wireless connection between the Headset and
the intended device. This process is called “Pairing”.
PAIRING
The Headset may be paired with Bluetooth devices using one of two methods:
1. Standard Bluetooth pairing where the headset is discovered by the Bluetooth Device.
2. Touch-to-Pair with devices supporting an NFC Connection.
Headset must be within close proximity of the Bluetooth Device to complete pairing. To
initiate pairing, Headset must be powered o. If the Headset is ON, turn the Headset OFF
by pressing the Multi-Function Button (MFB) for 2.5 seconds.
1. Initiate Standard Bluetooth pairing by pressing the MFB for 5 seconds (press and hold the
button until you hear “Pairing, Please Wait”). The LED alternately ashes red and blue.
Use the Bluetooth Device’s Bluetooth search and pairing functionality (refer to the Device
or Host documentation if necessary) and select “BT Advantage” (or “BT Adva” on some
phones). If necessary, enter four zeros (0000) for the passcode and accept connection.
2. For Touch-to-Pair, initiate Standard Bluetooth Paring before touching Headset NFC tag to
NFC tag of Host. The Headset NFC Tag is located in the housing above the Blue Tiger LED.
Once successfully paired, you will hear “Pairing Successful” and the LED will ash blue, once

5
every two seconds indicating the Headset and Bluetooth Device are connected. The
Headset may be paired to a new Bluetooth Device using the above procedure. Note that
this will undo the pairing to the current Bluetooth Device.
Once the Headset and Bluetooth Device have been paired, the Headset and Bluetooth
Device will automatically reconnect the next time they are both powered on and in close
proximity to each other.
Multipoint Pairing
It may be useful to have the Headset connected to 2 devices simultaneously. For example,
to 2 dierent smartphones, or to a phone and a laptop computer. This is called Multipoint
pairing. For Multipoint pairing:
1. Turn o Bluetooth on the rst connected Device, and turn on Bluetooth on the second Device.
2. Initiate Pairing on the Headset (refer to Pairing section, step 1).
3. Pair the Headset with the second Device. You should hear an alert, “Device Connected”.
4. Turn ON Bluetooth on the 1st Device. Using the Device Bluetooth search menu, reconnect
to the BT Advantage Headset. You should hear a second “Device Connected” alert.
Your Headset is now connected with both devices and can now accept a call or listen to
audio/video from either device.
For more information or assistance with Multipoint Pairing, please contact Customer
Support (see Warranty and Customer Support section).

BATTERY SAFETY GUIDELINES
• PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO HIGH VOLUME LEVELS CAN DAMAGE YOUR HEARING. To avoid
injury, set the volume to the lowest comfortable level. If you experience ringing in your ears, or
voices sound mued, stop using the headset. Avoid raising the volume to block out noisy
surroundings. Your ears may adapt to volume that is too high, which could result in permanent
hearing loss without any noticeable discomfort.
• Do not leave the Headset battery on prolonged charge when not in use.
• The area in which the Headset is charged should be clear of debris and combustible materials or
chemicals. Improper charging use may result in a re, explosion, or other hazard.
• To charge the Headset Battery, the Headset and USB Charger temperatures must be between
50°F – 95°F (10°C – 35°C).
• Do not use incompatible Batteries and/or Chargers. Use of an incompatible USB Charger may
present a risk of re, explosion, leakage, or other hazard. If you have any questions about the
compatibility of a USB Charger, contact your Distributor Customer Support.
• Do not disassemble, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, or shred.
• Severe impact from dropping any Battery-Operated Device on a hard surface could cause the
Battery to overheat.
• Do not short circuit Headset or allow metallic or conductive objects to contact the USB
Charging Slot.
• Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the USB Charging Slot,
immerse or expose to water or other liquids, or expose to re, explosion, or other hazard.
• Do not leave or store the Headset in or near areas that might get very hot, such as in a parked
vehicle, near a radiator or other heat source.
• Do not place Headset into a microwave oven, conventional oven, toaster oven, washer, dryer,
dishwasher, or other mechanical devices.
• Headset usage by children should be supervised.
• Please follow local regulations to promptly dispose of used Headset.
• Do not dispose of Headset in re.
• In the event of a Battery leak, do not allow the liquid to come in contact with the skin or eyes. If
