Your speakerphone has an integrated rechargeable
battery. Upon initial use, the battery should be charged
fully to ensure optimal performance and battery life.
Use the included USB power adapter to connect the
speaker to an AC 100-240V power source to charge the
battery.
•Connect the small end of the included USB power
adapter cable to the Power In jack of the speaker-
phone [9].
•Connect the two-pronged adapter to an AC 100-
240 V power supply.
The Charge LED [8] will light red when the
speakerphone is charging.
⚠To optimize the performance and longevity
of the battery, please charge it fully before
using the speakerphone for the rst time.
⚠The battery used in this device may present
a re or chemical burn if mistreated. Do not
disassemble, incinerate, or heat the battery.
Do not leave the battery in a place subject
to direct sunlight, or in a car with its win-
dows closed.
Do not connect the unit to a power source
other than that which is indicated here or on
the label as this may result in the risk of re
or electric shock.

Charging a USB Device
When the speaker base is connected to power, you can
use it to charge another USB device such as a mobile
phone. Instead of using your mobile phone at home,
leave it charging and use the NAT-500 speakerphone/
handset instead!
To charge your phone or other USB device:
1. Using the USB cable that was included with your
phone or device, connect the large end to the USB/
Charge port of the speakerphone [11].
2. Connect the smaller end to your USB device.
The USB/Charge port power output is DC
5 V, 1 A. Devices with larger screens may
require more current and take longer to
charge.
Using Bluetooth®Mode
Pairing a Device with Bluetooth®
A device must be paired with the speakerphone before
using them together for the rst time.
Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your device before
attempting to pair it.
Set your speakerphone to Bluetooth mode (press and
hold until the Mode LED [15] is blue). The speaker-
phone will automatically search for a paired device. If it
nds a paired device, it will connect to it automatically.
If it does not detect a paired device, it will switch to
Pairing mode (the Status LED [16] will ash blue). When
the speakerphone is in Pairing Mode, it will announce
itself to nearby Bluetooth devices and accept pairing
requests from them.
1. The speakerphone will announce itself as the NAXA
NAT-500. To nd it, use your device to search for
nearby Bluetooth devices. (This function is usually
in the Bluetooth settings menu; refer to your de-
www.naxa.com Page 9
vice’s instruction manual to learn more.)
2. Select the NAXA NAT-500 from the list of found
devices.
3. If your device asks for a passcode, use “0000” to
complete the pairing process.
When the speakerphone is paired and connected to a
device, the Status LED [16] will light a steady blue.
If the pairing process fails, turn the speak-
erphone off and then back on, set the
speakerphone to Bluetooth mode, and then
repeat steps 1-3.
Make sure that the volume of your device is
set to its maximum level; use the speaker-
phone to adjust the volume to a comfort-
able level.
