Introduction
With the Nokia Bluetooth Headset
BH-609, you can make and answer
calls hands-free with your compatible
mobile device. The headset is provided
with wind noise reduction and noise
cancellation that helps you handle
calls in noisy environments.
Read this user guide carefully before
using the headset. Also, read the user
guide for the device that you connect
to the headset.
This product may contain small parts.
Keep them out of the reach of small
children.
The surface of this device is nickel-
free.
My own key
The headset has a shortcut key that
you can set to perform different
functions on a compatible Nokia
device. To define the functions, use
the Nokia Accessory Setup
Application.
With the application, you can also
view headset information and define
headset settings when the headset is
connected to your device. For details,
see the help of the application.
If the application is not already
installed in your mobile device, check
the availability of the application for
your device from the support pages of
this headset at www.nokia.com/
support.
If the application is not available for
your Nokia device, you can use the
shortcut key to mute the microphone
during a call.

ENGLISH
Bluetooth wireless technology
Bluetooth wireless technology allows
you to connect compatible devices
without cables. The headset and the
other device 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 the
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.
Get started
The headset contains the following
parts shown on the title page:
indicator light (1), volume key (2), My
own key (3), multifunction key (4),
microphones (5), earloop (6), charger
connector (7), and earpiece (8).
Before using the headset, you must
charge the battery and pair the
headset with a compatible device.
Parts of the device are magnetic. Metallic
materials may be attracted to the device.
Do not place credit cards or other
magnetic storage media near the device,
because information stored on them may
be erased.
Charge the battery
Before charging the battery, carefully
read “Battery and charger
information”.
1. Connect the charger to a wall
outlet.

ENGLISH
2. Connect the charger cable to the
charger connector. The red
indicator light is displayed during
charging.
Charging the battery fully may take
up to 1 hour. Charging the battery
with the AC-15 charger for 15
minutes provides up to 2 hours of
talk time.
3. When the battery is fully charged,
the green indicator light is
displayed.
Disconnect the charger from the
headset, then from the wall outlet.
This saves energy, as chargers
consume a small amount of power
when connected to a wall outlet,
even when not charging.
The fully charged battery has power
for up to 6 hours of talk time or up to
180 hours of standby time.
To check the battery charge when the
headset is not connected to a charger,
press the multifunction key when the
headset is connected to a mobile
device. If the indicator light is green,
the charge level is sufficient. If the
light is yellow, you may need to
recharge the battery soon. If the light
is red, recharge the battery.
When the battery charge is low, the
headset beeps every 5 minutes and
the red indicator light flashes.
Switch on or off
To switch on, press and hold the
multifunction key for about 2 seconds.
The headset beeps, and the green
indicator light flashes slowly while the
headset tries to connect to the last or
two last connected devices. When the
headset is connected to at least one
device and is ready for use, the blue
indicator light flashes slowly. If the
headset has not been paired with a
device, it automatically enters pairing
mode.

ENGLISH
To switch off, press and hold the
multifunction key for about 5 seconds.
The headset beeps, and the red
indicator light is briefly displayed. If
the headset is not connected to a
device within about 30 minutes, it

Before using the headset, you must
pair and connect it to a compatible
device.
You can pair the headset with up to
eight devices, but you can connect it
to a maximum of two devices at a
time.
1. Make sure your mobile device is
switched on and the headset is off.
2. If the headset has not been
previously paired with a device,
switch on the headset. The headset
enters pairing mode, and the blue
indicator light starts to flash
quickly.
If the headset has been previously
paired with a device, make sure the
headset is switched off, and press
and hold the multifunction key for
about 5 seconds until the blue
indicator light starts to flash
quickly.
3. Within about 3 minutes, activate
the Bluetooth feature on your
device, and set it to search for
Bluetooth devices. For details, see
the user guide of your mobile
device.
4. Select the headset from the list of
found devices.
5. If necessary, enter the passcode
0000 to pair and connect the
headset to your device.
In some devices, you may need to

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,
AC-8, AC-15, and DC-4. The exact
charger model number may vary
depending on the type of plug. The plug

ENGLISH
variant is identified by one of the
following: E, X, AR, U, A, C, K, or B. The
battery can be charged and discharged
hundreds of times, but it will eventually
wear out.
Talk and standby times are estimates
only. Actual times are affected by, for
example, device settings, features being
used, battery condition, and temperature.
If the battery has not been used for a
long time, to begin charging, you may
need to connect the charger, then
disconnect and reconnect it.
If the battery is completely discharged, it
may take several minutes before the
charging indicator is displayed.
When your charger is not in use, unplug
it from the electrical plug and the device.
Do not leave a fully charged battery
connected to a charger, as overcharging
may shorten the battery's lifetime. If left
unused, a fully charged battery will lose
its charge over time.
Always 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.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as
they may explode. Dispose of batteries
according to local regulations. Recycle
when possible. Do not dispose as
household waste.
Use the charger for its intended purpose
only. Improper use or use of unapproved
chargers may present a risk of fire,
explosion, or other hazard, and may
invalidate any approval or warranty. If
you believe the charger is damaged, take
it to a service centre for inspection before
continuing to use it. Never use a
damaged charger. Only use the charger
indoors.

ENGLISH
Take care of your device
Handle your device, charger and
accessories with care. The following
suggestions help you protect your
warranty coverage.
• Keep the device dry. Precipitation,
humidity, and all types of liquids or
moisture can contain minerals that
corrode electronic circuits. If your
device gets wet, allow it to dry
completely.
• Do not use or store the device in dusty
or dirty areas. Moving parts and
electronic components can be
damaged.
• Do not store the device in high
temperatures. High temperatures can
shorten the life of the device, damage
the battery, and warp or melt plastics.
• Do not store the device in cold
temperatures. When the device
warms to its normal temperature,
moisture can form inside the device
and damage electronic circuits.
• Do not attempt to open the device.
• Do not drop, knock, or shake the
device. Rough handling can break
internal circuit boards and
mechanics.
• Only use a soft, clean, dry cloth to
clean the surface of the device.
• Do not paint the device. Paint can
clog the moving parts and prevent
proper operation.
Recycle
Always return your used electronic
products, batteries, and packaging
materials to dedicated collection points.
This way you help prevent uncontrolled
waste disposal and promote the recycling
of materials. Check product
environmental information and how to
recycle your Nokia products at
www.nokia.com/werecycle, or with a

ENGLISH
mobile device, www.nokia.mobi/
werecycle.
The crossed-out wheeled-bin
symbol on your product, battery,
literature, or packaging reminds
you that all electrical and
electronic products, batteries,
and accumulators must be taken to
separate collection at the end of their
working life. This requirement applies in
the European Union. Do not dispose of
these products as unsorted municipal
waste. For more information on the
environmental attributes of your device,
