Introduction

1. Introduction
You can connect the Nokia Wireless Headset (HS-26W) to a compatible
phone that supports Bluetooth wireless technology. This allows you
freedom to make and receive calls while on the move or in the office.
Read this user guide carefully before using the headset. Read also the
user guide for your phone, which provides important safety and
maintenance information. Keep the headset out of reach of small
children.
■Bluetooth wireless technology
Bluetooth wireless technology makes it possible to connect compatible
communication devices without using 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 can be subject to interference from obstructions, such as
walls or other electronic devices.
The wireless headset is compliant with Bluetooth Specification 2.0
supporting the following profiles: Headset Profile 1.1 and Hands-free
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.

Note: Parts of the headset are magnetic. Metallic materials may be
attracted to the headset, and persons with a hearing aid should not
hold the headset to the ear with the hearing aid. Do not place credit
cards or other magnetic storage media near the headset, because
information stored on them may be erased.
■Chargers and batteries
Check the model number of any charger before using it with this device. The
Nokia Wireless Headset (HS-26W) is intended for use with the AC-3, AC-4, and
DC-4 chargers.
Warning: Use only batteries and chargers approved by Nokia for use
with this particular enhancement. 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
This device has an internal, non-removable, rechargeable battery. Do
not attempt to remove the battery from the device as you may damage
the device.

the headset by pressing the power key and the middle part of the
volume key briefly, while the headset is plugged into a charger. This

phones, the headset tries to connect to the default phone.
If the headset cannot connect to the default phone, the headset tries to
connect to the last used phone. If the headset cannot connect to this

Battery information
11
English
4. Battery information
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. 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. 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.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery
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. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Please
recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.

Care and maintenance

Care and maintenance
Your device 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 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 the device 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 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.
