yHow to use my headset?
You can connect your HERMES BT-100 to your cellular phone, computer or
any devices with Bluetooth wireless technology that supports Headset Profile
or Hands-free Profile.
This guide will focus on the communication between the headset and your
cellular phone, either with built-in Bluetooth wireless technology or with a
Bluetooth adapter connected to it.
Using the Headset
yCharging
With built-in lithium battery, the headset could be recharged simply by the
following steps:
1. Plug the AC/DC power adapter into the charging cradle, and then plug the
whole set into the wall outlet.
2. Place the headset in the charging cradle, and the blue light on the cradle will
flash at an interval of 1 second.
If the red light flashes every 3 seconds when the headset is on, the headset is
running out of battery and needs to be recharged. If the headset is not
recharged, the red light will illuminate after 60-second flashing and the headset
will turn off.

We recommend you charge the battery until the blue light illuminates when
using the headset first time. The full battery charge takes approximately 1.5 to
2 hours.
yParing
Before enjoying the Bluetooth wireless technology of the headset, you have to
pair it with the phone by adding it to a list of paired devices in the phone.
1. Press the “Control Button” around 5 seconds until you hear dual tones
followed by a single tone or the blue indicator light on the headset flashes
twice (The two flashes are at an interval of 5 seconds). Now the headset is in
the pairing mode.
2. Make sure the Bluetooth function of the phone is enabled.
3. Initiate the pairing procedures on the phone. For more information about the
device discovery, please refer to the user's manual of your cellular phone.
4. When the phone requests passkey, enter “0000” to pair the headset with
the phone. When pairing is successful, the blue indicator light on the
headset will flashes twice rapidly at an interval of 1 second.
You can now make and receive calls directly from your headset. However, your
headset and phone should be within the working range of 10m outdoors or 5m
indoors without any obstacles in between.
When the headset enters the pairing mode, the blue indicator light on the
headset will flash at an interval of 1 second. If no devices are paired in 3
minutes, 1 single tone will sound and the headset will turn off automatically.
Once your headset and phone are paired, you do not need to pair the two
devices every time you use the headset. However, if you want to pair your
phone with other Bluetooth devices, you have to proceed the paring again.
yWearing the Headset

without the ear hook, which is detachable.
