Introduction
The Nokia Bluetooth Headset
BH-300 allows you to make and
receive calls while on the move.
You can use the headset with
compatible phones that support
Bluetooth wireless technology.
Read this user guide carefully
before using the headset. Also read
the user guide for your phone,
which provides important safety
and maintenance information.
Keep all accessories and
enhancements out of the reach of
small children.
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 meters (30 feet) of each
other. Connections may be subject
to interference from obstructions,
such as walls, or other electronic
devices.
The headset complies with the
Bluetooth Specification 2.0 + EDR
that supports the Headset Profile

1.1 and Hands-Free Profile 1.5.
Check with the manufacturers of
other devices to determine their
compatibility with this headset.
There may be restrictions on using
Bluetooth technology in some
locations. Check with your local
authorities or service provider.
Get started
The headset contains the following
parts shown on the title page:
power key and indicator light (1),
microphone (2), charger connector
(3), answer/end key (4), changeable
earloop (5), and strap catch (6).
Before using the headset, you must
charge the battery and pair the
headset with a compatible phone.
Parts of the headset are magnetic.
Metallic materials may be attracted
to the headset. Do not place credit
cards or other magnetic storage
media near the headset, because
information stored on them may be
erased.
Chargers
Check the model number of any
charger before using it with this
headset. The headset is intended for
use with the AC-3, AC-4, and DC-4
chargers.
Warning: Use only
chargers approved by
Nokia for use with this
particular headset. The
use of any other types
may invalidate any
approval or warranty and
may be dangerous.
For availability of approved
enhancements, please check with

your dealer. When you disconnect the
power cord of any enhancement,
grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.
Charge the battery
The headset has an internal,
nonremovable, rechargeable
battery. Do not attempt to remove
the battery from the headset, as
you may damage the headset.
1. When the back of the headset is
facing you, detach the earloop
from the left of the headset.
2. Connect the charger to a wall
outlet.
3. Connect the charger cable to
the headset. The red indicator
light is on while charging. It
may take a while before
charging starts. If charging does
not start, connect the charger
again and retry. Charging the
battery fully may take up to
2hours.
4. When the battery is fully
charged, the red indicator light
turns off. Disconnect the
charger from the headset and
the wall outlet.
The fully charged battery has
power for up to 5 hours and 30
minutes of talk-time or up to 150
hours of standby time. However,
the talk and standby times may
vary when the headset is used with
different mobile phones or other
compatible Bluetooth devices,
usage settings, usage styles, and
environments.
When battery power is low, the
headset beeps, and the red
indicator light starts to flash.

Switch the headset on or off
To switch on, press and hold the
power key until the green indicator
light starts to flash.
To switch off, press and hold the
power key until the red indicator
light is displayed briefly.
Pair the headset
1. Switch on your phone and the
headset.
2. Activate the Bluetooth feature
on the phone, and set the phone
to search for Bluetooth devices.
3. Select the headset from the list
of found devices.
4. Enter the Bluetooth passcode
0000 to pair and connect the
headset to your phone. In some
phones you may need to make
the connection separately after
pairing. You only need to pair
the headset with your phone
once.
If the pairing is successful, the
headset beeps and appears in the
phone menu where you can view
the currently paired Bluetooth
devices. When the headset is
connected to a paired phone and is
ready for use, the green indicator
light flashes slowly.

Basic use
Place the headset on the ear
The headset has an earloop
attached around it. To use the
headset without placing the
earloop over the ear, plug the
earpiece into your ear.
To use the headset with the
earloop on the right ear, detach the
earloop from the right of the
headset (8) when the back of the
headset is facing you; to use the
headset on the left ear, detach the
earloop from the left. Slide the
earloop behind your ear (8), and
point the headset toward your
mouth.
Change the earloop
To change the earloop, detach it
from both sides of the headset, and
attach the new earloop by
inserting the catches at the ends of
the earloop into the slots in the
headset.
Carry the headset in the strap
You can wear the headset on your
neck using the supplied strap. To
fix the headset to the strap, insert
the headset into the catch (9), and
gently push it downwards (10)
until it locks into place. To detach
the headset, slide it downwards
through the catch.
Call handling
To make a call, use your phone in
the normal way when the headset
is connected to your phone.
If your phone supports last number
redialing with the headset, press

the answer/end key twice briefly
when no call is in progress.
If your phone supports voice
dialing with the headset, press and
hold the answer/end key when no
call in progress, and proceed as
described in the user guide of your
phone.
To answer or end a call, press the
answer/end key. To reject an
incoming call, press the answer/
end key twice.
To switch the call between the
headset and a compatible phone,
press and hold the answer/end key.
Clear the settings or reset the
headset
To clear the settings, press and
hold the power key and the
answer/end key over 10 seconds.
To reset the headset if it does not
function properly, although it is
charged, plug the headset into a
charger, and briefly press the
power key and the answer/end key
at the same time.
Battery information
Your headset is powered by a
rechargeable battery. 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 headset.
Unplug the charger from the
electrical plug and the headset 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.
Never use any charger that is
damaged.
Leaving the headset in hot or cold
places, such as in a closed car in
summer or winter conditions, will
reduce the capacity and lifetime of
the battery. Always try to keep the
battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F
and 77°F). A headset with a hot or
cold battery may not work
temporarily, even when the battery is
fully charged. 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. Dispose of
batteries according to local
regulations. Please recycle when
possible. Do not dispose as household
waste.
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.
All of the above suggestions apply
equally to your device, battery,
charger, or any enhancement. If any
device is not working properly, take it
to the nearest authorized service
facility for service.
