■Install the handsfree in the car
To function properly, the handsfree must be connected
to the cigarette lighter socket of a car, and power must
be supplied by the car battery.
Insert the handsfree
into the cigarette
lighter socket of your
car as shown in
Figure A or Figure B.
Make sure that the
handsfree is properly
locked in place, and
does not interfere
with the normal
operation of the car.

Speech tracking works optimally
when the speech sound is
coming from the area indicated
with light gray in the figure. If
you encounter unsatisfactory
performance, realign the device.
In some car models, the cigarette lighter socket is
powered by the car battery even when the ignition key is
removed. In those cases, the car battery might be
discharged if the handsfree is left on, or if the handsfree
is turned off but connected to the cigarette lighter socket
for a long time. Contact the vehicle manufacturer for
more information.
■Switch the handsfree on and off
To switch on, press the power key. The handsfree beeps,
and the green indicator light is displayed briefly.

any compatible Bluetooth device that supports the
Bluetooth Handsfree profile. Refer to the user guide of
your phone for more information on Bluetooth wireless
technology.
Before you can use the handsfree, you must pair it with
a compatible phone.

and press the power key to switch it on.

indicator light indicates an active Bluetooth
connection.
6. Start to use the handsfree.

English
You do not need to delete the pairing with the
handsfree to disconnect it.
Reconnect the handsfree to the phone
If you want to reconnect the handsfree to the default
phone or the last used phone, make sure the Bluetooth
feature is activated in the phone, and switch on the
handsfree. When you reconnect a paired handsfree, you
are not asked for its passcode.
You can set your phone to connect with the handsfree
automatically when the handsfree is switched on. To do
this in Nokia phones, change your paired device settings
in the Bluetooth menu.
If the handsfree does not automatically reconnect to
the default or the last used phone, press and hold the
answer/end key. The handsfree starts to search for the
default phone, followed by the last used phone.
Otherwise, make the connection in the Bluetooth menu
of your phone.

called the default phone. The phone that was last used
with the handsfree is called the last used phone.
When the handsfree is switched on, the handsfree tries
to connect to the default phone within a few seconds.
If the handsfree cannot connect to the default phone,
the handsfree tries to connect to the last used phone
within a few seconds.
If the handsfree cannot connect to either phone, it
remains discoverable for other phones.

• Make sure that the Bluetooth feature is activated on
the compatible phone.

Basic use

English
• Make sure that the handsfree is properly installed,
switched on, and paired with the compatible phone.
Check also that there is power supplied by the car
battery.
• If you use several Bluetooth devices, make sure you
ended the previous Bluetooth connection from the
phone.
• Ensure that the handsfree is within 10 meters of the
phone and that there are no obstructions or
electronic devices between the two.
• The network capacity and parameters of your
network operator may degrade the sound quality of
phone calls. This may occur, for example, in traffic
jams, when many people in the same area are talking
on the phone at the same time.

Care and maintenance
20
Care and maintenance
Your device is a product of superior design and craftsmanship
and should be treated with care. The suggestions below will help
you protect your warranty coverage.
• Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity and all types of
liquids or moisture can contain minerals that will corrode
electronic circuits.
• Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its
moving parts, electronic components, and microphones can
be damaged.
• Do not store the device in hot areas. High temperatures can
shorten the life of electronic devices and warp or melt
certain plastics.
• Do not store the handsfree in cold areas. When it warms up
to its normal temperature, moisture can form inside, which
may damage electronic circuit boards.
• Do not attempt to open the device.
