1. Introduction
With the Nokia Bluetooth Stereo Headset BH-103, you can
make and answer calls with your compatible mobile phone
and listen to music from a compatible music device.
Read this user guide carefully before using the headset.
Also, read the user guide for the device that you connect to
the headset.
See www.nokia.com/support or your local Nokia website for
the latest version of the user guide and additional
information related to your Nokia product.
This product may contain small parts. Keep them out of the
reach of small children.

Introduction

■Bluetooth wireless technology
Bluetooth wireless technology
allows you to connect
compatible devices without
cables. The headset and the other
device do not need to be in line
of sight, but the maximum
distance between the devices
should be 10 metres (33 feet).
The closer the headset and the
other device are to each other, the better is the
performance. The optimal operating range is shown in dark
grey in the picture. The connection is subject to interference
from distance and obstructions (shown in light grey) or
other electronic devices.
The headset complies with the Bluetooth Specification 2.1
+ EDR that supports the following profiles: Headset Profile
1.1, Hands-Free Profile (HFP) 1.5, and Advanced Audio
Distribution Profile (A2DP) 1.2. Check with the

magnetic storage media near the device, because
information stored on them may be erased.
■Chargers
This device is intended for use when supplied with power
from the following chargers: AC-3 and DC-4.
Warning: Use only chargers approved by Nokia for
use with this particular enhancement. The use of
any other types may invalidate any approval or
warranty, and may be dangerous.

grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.
■Charge the battery
Before charging the battery, carefully read “Battery
information,” p. 16.
1. Connect the charger to a wall outlet.

2. Connect the charger cable to the
charger connector. The red
indicator light is displayed during
charging. Charging the battery
fully may take up to 1 hour 40
minutes.
3. When the battery is fully charged, the green indicator
light is displayed. Disconnect the charger from the
headset and the wall outlet.
The fully charged battery has power for up to 7 hours of talk
time, up to 150 hours of standby time, or up to 6 hours of
music playing time.
To check the battery charge, briefly press the multifunction
key when no call is in progress. If the indicator light is
green, the charge level is sufficient. If the light is yellow,
you may need to recharge the battery soon. If the light is
red, recharge the battery.
When the battery is discharged, the headset beeps about
every 5 minutes.

To switch off, press and hold the multifunction key for
about 4 seconds. The headset beeps, and the red indicator
light is briefly displayed.
■Pair the headset
If your phone supports the A2DP Bluetooth profile and has a

receive calls, and to play music with the headset.

headset is off.
2. Press and hold the multifunction key (for about 4
seconds) until the green indicator light starts to flash

player, and set it to search for Bluetooth devices.
4. Select the headset from the list of found devices on your
phone or music player.
5. Enter the passcode 0000 to pair and connect the
headset to your device. If your device does not have a
keypad, it may use this passcode by default.
In some devices, you may need to make the connection
separately after pairing.
When the headset is connected to your device and is ready
for use, the green indicator light flashes slowly.

Battery information
16
4. Battery information
This device has an internal, nonremovable, rechargeable
battery. Do not attempt to remove the battery from the
device as you may damage the device. The battery can be
charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will
eventually wear out. Recharge your battery only with Nokia
approved chargers designated for this device. Use of an
unapproved charger may present a risk of fire, explosion,
leakage, or other hazard.
If a battery is being used for the first time or if the battery
has not been used for a prolonged period, it may be
necessary to connect the charger, then disconnect and
reconnect it to begin charging the battery. If the battery is
completely discharged, it may take several minutes before
the charging indicator light is displayed.
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device
when not in use. Do not leave a fully charged battery
connected to a charger, since overcharging may shorten its

Battery information
17
lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its
charge over time.
Always try to keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F
and 77°F). Extreme temperatures reduce the capacity and
lifetime of the battery. A device with a hot or cold battery
may not work temporarily. Battery performance is
particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode.
Batteries may also explode if damaged.
Never use any charger that is damaged.
Important: Operating times are estimates only
and depend on network conditions, features used,
battery age and condition, temperatures to which
battery is exposed, and many other factors.

Care and maintenance
18
Care and maintenance
Your device is a product of superior design and
craftsmanship and should be treated with care. The
following suggestions 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. If your device does get
wet, allow it to dry completely.
• Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its
moving parts and electronic components can be
damaged.
• Do not store the device in hot areas. High temperatures
can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage
batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.
• Do not store the device in cold areas. When the device
returns to its normal temperature, moisture can form
inside the device and damage electronic circuit boards.

Care and maintenance
19
• Do not attempt to open the device.
• Do not drop, knock, or shake the device. Rough handling
can break internal circuit boards and fine mechanics.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong
detergents to clean the device.
• Do not paint the device. Paint can clog the moving parts
and prevent proper operation.
These suggestions apply equally to your device, charger, or
any enhancement. If any device is not working properly,
take it to the nearest authorised service facility for service.
Disposal
The crossed-out wheeled-bin symbol on your
product, literature, or packaging reminds you that all
electrical and electronic products, batteries, and
accumulators must be taken to separate collection at the
end of their working life. This requirement applies to the
European Union and other locations where separate
collection systems are available. Do not dispose of these
products as unsorted municipal waste.

Care and maintenance
20
By returning the products to collection you help prevent
uncontrolled waste disposal and promote the reuse of
material resources. More detailed information is available
from the product retailer, local waste authorities, national
producer responsibility organizations, or your local Nokia
representative. For the product Eco-Declaration or
instructions for returning your obsolete product, go to
country-specific information at www.nokia.com.
