Introduction
With the Nokia Bluetooth Headset
BH-215, you can make and receive
calls while on the move.
Read this user guide carefully
before using the headset. Also,

Bluetooth wireless
technology
Bluetooth wireless technology
allows you to connect compatible
devices without cables. The phone
and the headset 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
Bluetooth Specification 2.1 + EDR
supporting the Headset Profile 1.1
and Hands-Free Profile 1.5. Check
with the manufacturers of other
devices to determine their
compatibility with this device.

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 following chargers: AC-3, AC-4,
AC-5, and DC-4. 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

10

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 talk
and standby 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. The amount of
time a device is used for
calls will affect its
standby time. Likewise,
the amount of time that
the device is turned on
and in the standby mode
will affect its talk time.

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.
• 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
accessory. If any device is not
working properly, take it to the
nearest authorised service facility for
service.
