You can use the Nokia Bluetooth Headset BH-500 to listen to music with your

information, and the user guide for your music playing device. Keep the
headset out of reach of small children.
■Bluetooth wireless technology
The headset can be connected to a compatible mobile phone or music player

other electronic devices.

with the manufacturers of other devices to determine their compatibility with
this device.
There may be restrictions on using Bluetooth technology in some locations.
Check with your local authorities or service provider.
■Water-resistance

not submerge it in water. If you use alternative headphones, then the
device may not be water-resistant.
• If the device has been exposed to sweat or salt water, wash it immediately
with freshwater to avoid corrosion. The device must be carefully wiped dry.
