Introduction
With the Nokia Bluetooth Stereo
Headset BH-214, you can make and
answer calls hands-free with your
compatible mobile device. You can
also listen to music from a compatible
music player.
Read this user guide carefully before
using the headset. Also, read the user
guide for the device that you connect
to the headset.
This product may contain small parts.
Keep them out of the reach of small
children. The surface of this device is
nickel-free.
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 they should be within
10 metres (33 feet) of each other.
Connections may be subject to
interference from obstructions, such
as walls, or other electronic devices.
The headset is compliant with the
Bluetooth Specification 2.1 + EDR
supporting the following profiles:
Headset Profile 1.2, Hands-Free
Profile (HFP) 1.5, Advanced Audio
Distribution Profile (A2DP) 1.2, and
Audio Video Remote Control Profile
1.0. Check with the manufacturers of
other devices to determine their
compatibility with this device.

ENGLISH
Get started
The headset contains the following
parts shown on the title page: 3.5 mm
audio connector (1) for headphones,
microphone (2), power key (3),
indicator light (4), answer/end key (5),
rewind key (6), play/pause key (7),
forward key (8), clip (9), charger
connector (10), volume up key (11),
and volume down key (12).
Before using the headset, you must
charge the battery and pair the
headset with a compatible device.
Parts of the device are magnetic. Metallic
materials may be attracted to the device.
Do not place credit cards or other
magnetic storage media near the device,
because information stored on them may
be erased.
Charge the battery
Before charging the battery, carefully
read “Battery and charger
information”.
Warning: Use only chargers
approved by Nokia for use
with this particular model.
The use of any other types may invalidate
any approval or warranty, and may be
dangerous.
When you disconnect the power cord of
any accessory, grasp and pull the plug,
not the cord.
1. Connect the charger to a wall
outlet.
2. Connect the charger cable to the
charger connector (14). The red
indicator light is displayed during
charging. Charging the battery
fully may take up to 2 hours.

ENGLISH
3. When the battery is fully charged,
the green indicator light is
displayed. Disconnect the charger
from the headset, then from the
wall outlet.
The fully charged battery has power
for up to 8 hours of talk time, up to
300 hours of standby time, or up to
7 hours of music playing time.
To check the battery charge when the
headset is not connected to a charger,
press the answer/end key when the
headset is switched on and 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 charge is low, the
headset beeps every 5 minutes and
the red indicator light flashes.
Switch on or off
To switch on, press and hold the power
key for about 2 seconds. The headset
beeps, and the green indicator light
is displayed. The headset tries to
connect to the last connected
mobile device.
To switch off, press and hold the
power key for about 5 seconds. The
headset beeps, and the red indicator
light is briefly displayed. If the headset
is not connected to a device within
about 30 minutes, it switches off
automatically.
Pair and connect the headset
Before using the headset, you must
pair and connect it with a compatible
device.
If your mobile device supports the
A2DP Bluetooth profile and has a
music player feature, you can use the

ENGLISH
device to also play music through the
headset.
If your mobile device does not support
the A2DP profile, you can separately
pair the headset with the mobile
device and a music player that
supports this profile. If you have
paired and connected the headset
with your mobile device, disconnect
the headset from it before pairing the
headset with the music player.
1. Ensure that your mobile device or
music player is switched on and
the headset is off.
2. Press and hold the power key
(for about 5 seconds) until the
blue indicator light starts to flash
quickly.
3. Within about 3 minutes, activate
the Bluetooth feature on your
device, and set it to search for
Bluetooth devices.
4. Select the headset from the list of
found devices.
5. If necessary, 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
blue indicator light flashes slowly.
You can pair the headset with up to
eight devices but connect it to only
one device supporting the HFP profile
and another device supporting the
A2DP profile at a time.
To manually connect the headset to
the last used device that supports the
HFP profile (for example, after
connection loss), switch the headset
off and on, or press and hold the

ENGLISH
answer/end key for about 2 seconds.
To manually connect the headset to a
device that supports the A2DP profile,
press the play/pause key.
You may be able to set your device
so that the headset connects to it
automatically. To activate this feature
in a Nokia device, change the paired
device settings in the Bluetooth menu.
Basic use
Wear the headset
Plug a pair of headphones into the
audio connector (15).
Use the clip to attach the headset
to your clothing. Place the right

Battery and charger 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. This device is intended for use
when supplied with power from the

ENGLISH
following chargers: AC-3, AC-4, AC-5,
AC-8, DC-4, and DC-9. The exact charger
model number may vary depending on
the type of plug. The plug variant is
identified by one of the following: E, EB,
X, AR, U, A, C, or UB. 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 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: Battery 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.
