Introduction

1. Introduction
With the Nokia Bluetooth Headset BH-604 you can listen to music from your
compatible music player and make and receive hands-free calls using your
mobile phone. The music player can be the music player feature of your
mobile phone or a separate music device.
You can use the headset with compatible devices that support Bluetooth
wireless technology.
Read this user guide carefully before using the headset. Also read the user
guide for your mobile phone, which provides important safety and
maintenance information, and the user guide for your music device. Keep the
headset and its accessories 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 headset and the other device be in
line of sight, but the maximum distance
between the devices is 10 meters (30 feet).
The closer the devices are to each other, the
better is the performance. The optimal
operating range is shown in dark grey in the
picture. The connection is subject to
interference from distance and obstructions
(shown in light grey) or other electronic devices.
The headset is compliant with Bluetooth Specification 2.0 + EDR supporting
the following profiles: Headset Profile 1.1, Hands-Free Profile 1.5, Advanced
Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) 1.0, and Audio Video Remote Control Profile
1.0. Check 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.

■Pair and connect the headset
Pair and connect the headset with a mobile phone that has a
music player feature
If your phone supports the A2DP Bluetooth profile and has a music player
feature, you can use the phone to make and receive calls and to play music
with the headset.
1. Ensure that your phone is switched on.
2. If the headset has not been previously paired with a device, switch on the

If pairing is successful, the headset appears in the menu of the mobile phone
where you can view the currently paired Bluetooth devices.
When the headset is connected with your mobile phone and ready for use, the
indicator light of the headset slowly flashes blue.
Pair and connect the headset with a music player
If your phone does not support the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can separately
pair the headset with the phone and a music player that supports this
Bluetooth profile.
If you have paired and connected the headset with your phone, disconnect the
headset from it before pairing the headset with a music player.

passcode 0000 by default. If this is not the case, see the user guide of your
music player to change the default Bluetooth passcode to 0000.
If pairing is successful and the headset is connected with your music player,
the indicator light of the headset slowly flashes blue.
Disconnect the headset
To disconnect the headset from your device, switch off the headset, or
disconnect it in the Bluetooth menu of your device.
You do not need to delete pairing with the headset to disconnect it.

with it, switch on the headset, or make the connection in the Bluetooth menu
of your device.
In your device, you may be able to allow the headset to connect to it
automatically when the headset is switched on. To do this in Nokia devices,
change your paired device settings in the Bluetooth menu.

Battery information
11
4. Battery information
Your device 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 device.
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.
Never use any charger that is damaged.
Leaving the device 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 device 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.

Care and maintenance

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.
