1. Introduction
The Wireless Headset HDW-3 can be connected without wires to a
compatible phone that supports Bluetooth wireless technology. This gives
you complete freedom for making and receiving calls while on the move
or at the office.
Read this user’s guide carefully before using the headset. More detailed
information is provided by your phone's own user's guide. Do not use this
Wireless Headset (HDW-3) user’s guide in place of the user’s guide for
your phone, which provides important safety and maintenance
information.
■Bluetooth wireless technology
Since Bluetooth devices communicate using radio waves, your Bluetooth
phone and headset do not need to be in a line of sight. The two devices
only need to be within a maximum of 10 meters of each other, although
the connection can be subject to interference from obstructions, such as
walls, or from other electronic devices.
The headset is specially designed for Nokia phones that support Bluetooth
wireless technology. The headset can, however, be used with any
compatible Bluetooth devices that support the Handsfree or Headset
profile. (Here, "Profile" means a set of Bluetooth commands that your
phone uses for controlling the headset.)

English
The headset provides the best performance when it is used with a
compatible Nokia phone. If you use the headset with a phone produced by
another manufacturer, all the functions described in this user’s guide may
not be available.
In some countries, there may be restrictions on using Bluetooth devices.
Check with your local authorities.
■Chargers and batteries
Check the model number of any charger before use with this device. The
Wireless Headset HDW-3 is intended for use with the following chargers:
ACP-7, ACP-8, ACP-9, ACP-12 and LCH-12.
Warning! Use only batteries and chargers approved by Nokia for
use with this particular accessory. The use of any other types will
invalidate any approval or warranty, and may be dangerous.
For availability of approved batteries and chargers, please check with your
dealer.
When you disconnect the power cord of any enhancement, grasp and pull
the plug, not the cord.
■The card in the sales package
The card contains the Bluetooth passcode 0000 you need for pairing your
phone with the headset. Keep this card in a secure place.
For instructions on using the passcode, see Taking the headset into use for
the first time on page 8.

Reconnecting the paired headset to your phone
See Connecting the paired headset to your phone on page 12.
■Using the headset with several phones
Before the headset can be used with your phone, the phone has to be
paired with the headset. The headset can be paired with up to 8 phones
but connected to only one phone at a time.
Using the headset with several paired phones
The phone that was first paired with the headset is called the "default
phone". The phone that was last used with the headset is called the "last
used phone".
If the headset is switched on within 10 metres of several paired phones,
the headset will try to connect to the "default phone" within a few
seconds.
If the headset cannot connect to the "default phone" (because, for
example, it is switched off or its user rejects the connection), the headset
tries to connect to the "last used phone" within a few seconds.
If the headset cannot connect to either of the phones, it remains
discoverable for other phones.
If you want to use the headset with a paired phone that is not a "default
phone" or "last used phone", make the connection in the Bluetooth menu
of your phone.

4. Battery information
Your headset is powered by a rechargeable battery. Take good care of the
battery and follow the guidelines below.
Charging and discharging
• The full performance of a new battery is achieved only after two or
three complete charge and discharge cycles.
• The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it
will eventually wear out.
• Use only Nokia approved batteries, and 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 the battery connected to a charger. Overcharging may
shorten its lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its
charge over time.
• Temperature extremes can affect the ability of your battery to charge.
• To prolong battery life of NiMh batteries, discharge the battery from
time to time by leaving your headset switched on until it turns itself
off. Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any other means.
• Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or
battery 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.
Warning: Use only approved batteries. Non-approved batteries
may explode. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire! Dispose of
batteries according to local regulations. Please recycle when
possible. Do not dispose as household waste.

Care and maintenance

Care and maintenance
Your headset is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be
treated with care. The suggestions below will help you protect your warranty
coverage.
• Keep all accessories and enhancements out of the reach of small children.
• Keep the headset dry. Precipitation, humidity and all types of liquids or
moisture can contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits. If your
device does get wet, remove the battery and allow the device to dry completely
before replacing it.
• Do not use or store the headset in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts and
electronic components can be damaged.
• Do not store the headset in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of
electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.
• Do not store the headset 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 headset other than as instructed in this guide.
• Do not drop, knock, or shake the headset. Rough handling can break internal
circuit boards and fine mechanics.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the
headset.
• Do not paint the headset. Paint can clog the moving parts and prevent proper
operation.
If the headset is not working properly, take it to the nearest authorized service
facility for service.
