Making a Phone Call
Multi Pairing
Before you can connect the headphones to two devices, you must
pair to each device individually. The device you are pairing must
support one of the following Bluetooth profiles:
• A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile)–Provides high quality Audio
(stereo and mono) communication between the headphones and a
phone's or computer's MP3 player.
• AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile)–Lets an MP3 player control
the headphones media playback buttons (such as (play/pause) or
rewind/fast-forward). If you connect an MP3 player, the player must
support AVRCP. See the documentation that came with the MP3 player
to determine if the player supports AVRCP. Windows Media Player
supports AVRCP.
• HSP (Headset Profile)–Provides two-way communication between the
headphones and a Bluetooth phone. This profile is the most commonly
used profile for Bluetooth phones. A paired phone must support HSP or
HFP. See the documentation that came with the phone to determine if
the phone supports HSP or HFP.
• HFP (Hands-Free Profile)–Provides two-way communication between
the headphones and a Bluetooth phone. If the phone does not use HSP,
it uses this profile. A paired phone must support HSP or HFP. See the
documentation that came with the phone to determine if the phone
supports HFP or HSP.
To: Do this:
Voice dial Press (power/talk) once. (Some phones might
not support this feature.)
Redial
Press (power/talk) twice.
Answer a call
Press (power/talk) once.
End a call
Press (power/talk) once.
Refuse a call
While your phone is ringing, press (play/pause).
Change the volume Press +or -.
Transfer a call between
connected devices
Press (power/talk) twice.
MD-HPBT01_14-0244_MAN_V1_ENG.fm Page 12 Tuesday, July 8, 2014 10:25 AM

13MD-HPBT01
Notes: A profile can only connect one device at a time. For example, you cannot use a
phone's MP3 player and a computer's MP3 player at the same time, because both
players are connected through the A2DP profile.
You can connect a phone and a computer at the same time because the phone uses
HSP or HFP and the computer uses A2DP. This lets you listen to music from the
computer and answer phone calls at the same time.
In multi-pairing mode, some functions may be restricted depending on the host
devices.
Not all devices and functions may be compatible with multi-pairing.
Resetting the MD-HPBT01
In case the MD-HPBT01 needs to be reset, press Play, Talk, and +
(volume up) simultaneously.
Replacing the ear pads
1 Rotate the ear pads counterclockwise, the remove them.
2 Replace the ear pads by placing them on the headset, then rotating
them clockwise.

Each ear pad is labeled with an L (for left) or an R (for right), along with an
arrow. To correctly replace the ear pad, this arrow should be pointed
towards the back of the headset (i.e., the headband).
