CONNECTING HEADSET TO DEVICE
To use the Solare Headset with a Bluetooth Device, such as a smartphone or 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 (typically Android devices and not typically Apple/iPhone
devices).
Headset must be within close proximity of the Bluetooth Device to complete pairing. To initiate pairing, headset must be
powered off. If the headset is ON, turn the headset OFF by pressing the Multi-Function Button (MFB) for 4 seconds.
1. Initiate Standard Bluetooth pairing by pressing the MFB for 6 seconds - press and hold the button until you hear “Pairing,
please wait” and the LED alternately flashes red and blue. Use the Device’s Bluetooth search and pairing functionality (refer
to the Device or Host documentation if necessary) and select “Solare”. If necessary, enter four zeros (0000) for the
passcode and accept connection.
2. For Touch-to-Pair, (on Android devices or other devices supporting an NFC Connection), initiate Standard Bluetooth
pairing, then touch Headset NFC tag to NFC tag of Host.
The Headset NFC Tag is located in the Microphone Assembly.
Once successfully paired, you will hear “Device Connected” and the LED will flash blue, once 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.
11 | P a g e w w w . b l u e t i g e r u s a . c o m | 8 0 0 - 9 3 5 - 1 1 6 5
MULTIPOINT PAIRING
It may be useful to have the Headset connected to 2 devices simultaneously. It is a feature that allows a single Bluetooth
headset to maintain simultaneous connections to at least two source devices like a laptop and smartphone. This is called
Multipoint pairing.
For Multipoint pairing:
1. Turn off Bluetooth on the 1st connected Device.
2. Turn on Bluetooth on the second Device.
3. Initiate Pairing on the Headset (refer to Pairing section).
4. Pair the Headset with the second Device. You should hear an alert, “Device Connected”.
5. Turn ON Bluetooth on the 1st Device. Using the Device Bluetooth search menu,
reconnect to the Solare 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.

CHARGING THE HEADSET
USING SOLAR POWERED ENERGY

your headset is receiving great charging or poor charging depending on the light exposure.
3. The gain/charge of the headset will increase as the exposure to sunlight increases.
4. A hook is provided as a way of mounting the headset for optimal light exposure when the headset
is not in use.
More Light. More Power.
USING A MICRO-USB CHARGER
During low light situations, there is a USB port that can be used with an optional USB wall charger and cable.
1. Remove the USB Charging Port Cover and connect Charging Cable to a USB adapter.
2. Insert the Charging Cable into the Headset USB Port.
3. Charge for 3 hours prior to use.

• Position the T-Pad above the ear, halfway between
the top of the ear and the top of the head.
