Pairing your headset and mobile phone
The first time you turn on your Bose® Bluetooth®headset, it is
discoverable and ready for pairing. Your Bluetooth mobile phone
can pair and connect to discoverable devices like the headset.
On the phone, there is a list of these
devices under Tools, Bluetooth
Devices, or a similar menu title. Refer
to the instruction manual for your
phone if you are unfamiliar with this
feature or how to activate it.
To begin pairing:
1. Turn on the headset and the
mobile phone.
The Bluetooth indicator on the
back of the headset blinks blue
slowly to show that the headset is
discoverable.
2. Locate the Bluetooth device list on
your mobile phone.

Note: If the Bose headset does not appear in the list, press and hold
the Call button on the headset until the Bluetooth light blinks (in about
5 seconds). This makes the headset manually discoverable so it
shows up in the list for selection.

and press OK. Some phones ask you to accept connection,
as well.
As the two devices connect, the Bluetooth indicator on the
headset flashes, then turns solid blue to indicate a successful
connection. This light turns off in 30 seconds when paring is done
for the first time.
To pair an additional phone (up to a total of 6):
With the mobile phone and your headset turned on, press and hold
the headset call button to make the headset discoverable again.
Then follow steps 2 – 4 beginning on page 7.
Deleting a no-longer-used phone
To make sure the headset no longer connects to an old mobile
phone, you can clear the headset memory and then re-pair it to
the phones you want.
To clear the headset pairing memory, simultaneously press the
Call and Volume – buttons for 10 seconds. The headset reverts to
discoverable mode, allowing you to re-pair the mobile phone you
want connected.
