Introduction
The Nokia Bluetooth Headset
BH-301 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 reach of
small children.
Bluetooth wireless
technology
Bluetooth wireless technology
allows you to connect compatible
devices without cables. A
Bluetooth connection does not
require that the phone and the
headset be in line of sight, but both
devices 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.

English
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:
volume key (1), answer/end key (2),
charger connector (3), power key
(4), microphone (5), indicator light
(6), and earhook (7).
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. Connect the charger to a wall
outlet.
2. Connect the charger cable to
the charger connector on 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 2 hours.
3. 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 7 hours of talk-
time or up to 200 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 sounds a series of beeps
and the red indicator light starts to
flash.

English
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

Pair the headset

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 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.
To disconnect the headset from
your phone, switch off the headset
or disconnect it in the Bluetooth
menu of your phone.
To connect the headset to your

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.

English
• 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.
