of cell phones. For further information, please refer to your cell phone’s
user’s manual. The general pairing steps are as follows:
4

1) Remove headset from speaker base. Important (Unit will not pair in

within 3 feet of each other while pairing;
2) Ensure the Halo Bluetooth® headset is off to start, (if not, turn it off).

MFB button, when you see the red and the blue LED flashing alternately.
The Bluetooth® headset has now entered pairing mode;
4) Turn on your cell phone’s Bluetooth® function and perform a search for
Bluetooth® devices. Once the search is completed, select “HALO-CK or
BTC006” from the list Bluetooth® devices;
5) If prompted to do so, enter password / PIN No: “0000”. If PIN No
“0000” is unsuccessful, some phones use the alternate PIN No: “1234”.
Once you have entered the appropriate PIN, press ”Yes” or “confirm”;
6) Once your headset is paired, select “HALO-CK or BTC006” from the
Bluetooth® device list and press connect. If successfully connected, the
Blue LED on the Bluetooth® headset will flash twice every 4 seconds.
Remarks:

standby mode. If you want to continue pairing the Bluetooth® headset
with a Bluetooth® enabled cell phone, please turn OFF the headset first,
and then try re-pairing according to steps 1-6 mentioned above.
The Bluetooth® headset can remember up to 8 paired devices. If the
number of paired devices exceeds 8, the first device will be replaced.
Each time the Bluetooth® headset is turned ON and within range, it will
connect to the last paired device automatically. If you want to pair it
with other devices, first turn OFF the Bluetooth® function of the last
connected device, and then pair Bluetooth® headset with new device
according to steps 1-6 mentioned above. Please Note: The headset will not
pair or connect with a new device if headset is still connected with the previous
