1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Bluetooth Technology
Bluetooth is an internationally standardized technology supporting short distance wireless com-
munications.Any two Bluetooth-compatible equipments, such as mobile phone, PDA, PC, headset,
mouse, keyboards, printer, etc. can wirelessly communicate with each other via Bluetooth connec-
tion.To ensure worldwide compatibility, Bluetooth operates on the globally available ISM (Industrial
Scientific and Medical) frequency band.Within 2.4 GHz and 2.48 GHz, Bluetooth transmits data up
to either 10 meters (CLASS II mode) or 100 meters (CLASS I mode) using 79 frequency hopping
channels.
Though line-of-sight is not required, Bluetooth connections could be subject to interferences from
obstructions such as walls, human bodies, and other electronic devices. In addition, due to varia-
tions on product implementation, it is likely that Bluetooth equipments from different manufactu-
res have interoperability issues. In that case, you may consult with manufactures to check product
compatibility.
Note that, there could be some restrictions imposing on using Bluetooth devices in some coun-
tries. Please check with your local authorities.

Before making and answering calls, you must pair your handsfree and phone. Paring sets up a uni-
que relationship between your handsfree and your handset.The handset will memorize the hands-
free’s unique ID (or passkey).This ensures that a unique and encrypted wireless link between your
handsfree and handset will be used during calls.
Detailed operation procedures are as follows:
1. Place your handsfree close to your Bluetooth handset, and ensure your handsfree is power off,
your handset is power on
2. Press and hold K1 for at least 6 seconds until the Blue and Red LEDs alternate continuously.
You will hear 2 power-up tones and a pairing tone to indicate that the handsfree has
successfully entered the paring mode
3. Following your phone user guide to active Bluetooth device search on the phone side, on your
phone screen you will see a list of Bluetooth equipment found by the phone at the end of the
searching process.
4. Select this Bluetooth Handsfree from the list (for HFB 300 the sign is ’BTHF202)
and initiate pairing following handset’s on-screen prompts.
5. Continue to follow on-screen prompts to enter passkey “0000”and confirm to pair the hands
free with your handset. Once the pairing procedure is completed, you will hear a connecting
tone, and then Blue LED gives 3 quick blinks per 2 seconds. It indicates that the handsfree
device and the handset are paired and connected.
Note:
1. If pairing is successful, handsfree’s Red LED is off.The Blue LED gives 3 quick blinks per
2 seconds. If paring is failed£¨the Blue and Red LEDs alternate continuously (for about
2 minutes).You need to go back to above steps 3-5 to repeat the paring process.
2. Your handsfree will remain in the pairing mode for about 2 minutes. If paring cannot be
finished within 2 minutes, the handsfree will enter into the standby mode (without Bluetooth
connection in this case).You need to repeat the above steps 2-5 to restart the pairing process.
