CHARGING THE HEADSET
BATTERY POWER INDICATORS
Connect the USB charging cord to the headset
and the other end to a suitable USB charger.
The MFB’s indicator light may turn green for
several seconds while the headset determines
the level of charge the battery is holding. Do
not remove the headset from the charger. If
the headset is not fully charged, the indicator
will turn RED within a short period (less than 3
minutes). When the indicator turns green—and
stays green—the unit is fully charged. A fully
discharged battery will need approximately 3.5
hours to achieve a complete charge.
Indicator Light
While charging, the MFB’s indicator light
shows the level of battery power on your
B250-XTS as follows:
Green light: Fully charged. Over 20 hours’
talk time.
Red light: Less than a full charge.
For best performance, keep charging
headset when not in use.

HEADSET CONTROLS
Turn Headset On: Hold down the MFB for approximately 2–3 seconds until you hear a
voice prompt, “Power on.” The red light will flash once every second.
Standby Mode: Once the headset is turned on (after the initial pairing), it will attempt
to connect to the last device that it was paired with, putting itself into standby mode.
(The headset can also be put into standby mode with a quick press and release of the
MFB). The blue light will flash indicating an active Bluetooth link. The headset will
have a voice prompt, “Your headset is connected.”
Turn Headset Off (conserves battery power): Hold down the MFB for approximately
4–5 seconds until you hear a voice prompt,“Power off.” A red light will flash 4 times
and the headset will turn off.
Volume Increase: Quickly press and
release the Volume Up/Mute button.
Repeat until
desired volume is attained.
Volume Decrease: Quickly press and
release the Volume Down button. Repeat
until desired volume is attained.
Microphone Mute/Unmute: While in
standby or on a call, hold down the Volume
Up/Mute button for 2 seconds until you
hear a beep.
A mute reminder will be heard every 10
seconds. Repeat button press to unmute.

Pairing with a Phone
Keep headset and phone no less than 7.5 cm (3 in) and no more than 1 m (3 ft) apart
while pairing.
Keep other Bluetooth devices at least 15 m (50 ft) away, or turn them off.
NOTE: The headset can be paired with up to 8 different devices but can only be
connected to one at a time. It can only switch back and forth between 2 devices in
Multipoint Mode.
• Turn headset off.
• Hold down the headset’s MFB until the lights alternate red and blue or you hear the
audio prompts “Power On” and then “Discovering.” IMPORTANT: Wait for both audio
prompts or the alternating blue and red lights. This may take up to 10 seconds. Then
release the MFB.
• Put your cellular phone into Bluetooth Search/Scan Mode per the manufacturer’s
instructions.
• Wait while the devices discover each other: This could take up to 2 minutes. Once
the phone discovers the headset, select “Pair” on the phone and enter a pass code of
“0000” if instructed. Once pairing is complete the alternating lights will stop flashing
and the phone may prompt you to connect to the headset. Select “Yes” on the
phone to connect to the headset. When connected, you will hear the voice prompt,
“Your headset is connected,” and the blue light will flash indicating that the headset
is in Standby Mode and is ready to make or receive calls.

Multiple Device Pairing
The B250-XTS can pair with up to 8 devices; however, only one device may be connected
to the headset at a time, unless the headset is in Multipoint Mode (see page 13). To pair
the headset with a Bluetooth cell phone or other Bluetooth device, such as a Bluetooth
enabled computer, follow the instructions on pages 10 and 11 of this manual. Remember
that all devices except for the one being paired must either be powered off or at least 15 m
(50 ft) away during the pairing process.
Once all devices are paired, connection to the last paired device can be made by turning
the headset off and then on again, or with a quick press of the MFB. The headset will
connect to the devices in reverse order of pairing. For instance, if device A, B and C were
paired in that order, connection will be established to C first. If C is not available (turned
off, out of range), the headset will connect to B, etc.
