Introduction
The Wireless Boom Headset HS-4W can be connected to a compatible phone that
supports Bluetooth 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. In addition to this Wireless
Boom Headset HS-4W user guide, read also the phone’s user guide, which provides
important safety and maintenance information. Keep the headset out of reach of
small children.
■Bluetooth wireless technology
The Wireless Boom Headset HS-4W is specially designed for compatible Nokia
phones that support Bluetooth technology. The headset can, however, be used with
any compatible Bluetooth devices that support the compatible Handsfree or
Headset profiles. (A profile is a set of Bluetooth commands that the phone uses to
control the headset).
The Bluetooth 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

metres of each other. Connections can be subject to interference from
obstructions, such as walls, or other electronic devices.
The Wireless Boom Headset HS-4W is compliant with and adopts the Bluetooth
Specification 1.1. However, interoperability between the Wireless Boom Headset
HS-4W and other Bluetooth-enabled products is not guaranteed because it
depends on compatibility. For more information on the compatibility between
the Wireless Boom Headset HS-4W and other Bluetooth-enabled products,
please check with your dealer.
■Bluetooth passcode
You need a Bluetooth passcode for pairing the headset with a compatible phone.
The passcode is 0000.

Fully charged batteries last up to 6 hours of talk-time and up to 160 hours of
standby time. However, talk and standby times may vary when used with different
handsets, other Bluetooth enabled-products, battery condition, usage settings,
usage style and environments. (In standby mode the headset is switched on but no

Once you have entered the passcode, the phone becomes the default phone
for the headset, if the headset has not been previously paired with another
phone. See also Using the headset with several paired phones on page 17.
The headset beeps once and an active Bluetooth connection is displayed by a
blinking yellow indicator light. The headset should now appear in the phone
menu where you can view the Bluetooth devices that are currently paired
with the compatible phone.
7. Start using the headset (see page 14).
Disconnecting the headset from the phone
The headset can be disconnected from the phone, if, for example, you want to
use another Bluetooth device with it. To disconnect the headset:
• Switch off the headset. OR:
• Disconnect the headset in the phone’s Bluetooth menu. OR:
• Move the headset more than 10 metres away from the phone.
The headset is also disconnected if the battery of the headset or the phone
becomes flat.
Note that you do not need to delete the pairing with the headset to disconnect
it. When you reconnect a paired headset, you are not asked for its passcode.

Reconnecting the paired headset to the compatible phone
To reconnect the headset to the default phone or the last phone used, switch on
the headset. Otherwise, make the connection in the phone’s Bluetooth menu as
instructed in the user guide of the phone.
Note that switching on the headset creates the connection automatically only if
you have set the phone to accept Bluetooth connection requests without your
permission. In Nokia phones this can be done by changing your paired devices
settings in the Bluetooth menu.
■Troubleshooting
If you cannot connect the headset to the compatible phone, proceed as follows:
• Make sure that the Bluetooth feature is activated on the compatible phone.
• Make sure that the headset is switched on and paired with the compatible
phone.
• Make sure that you have disconnected the previous Bluetooth connection from
the phone.
• Check that the headset is within 10 metres of the phone and that there are no
obstructions, such as walls, or other electronic devices between the headset
and the phone.

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" (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 does not automatically connect to the
default or last used phone, press and hold the answer/end key.
If the headset cannot connect to either of these phones, it remains discoverable for
other phones, which is displayed by the blinking green indicator light.
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 phone’s Bluetooth menu.
■Resetting the headset
You can reset the headset to its original settings, for example, to change the
default user of the headset. Resetting the headset clears all of its settings,
including pairing information. To reset the headset:
Press and hold the power key and the upper end of the volume control key for 10
seconds. After the headset has been reset, it beeps twice and the red and the green
indicator lights alternate for several seconds.

Battery information

English
3. 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 battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will
eventually wear out. When the operating time (talk time and standby time) is
noticeably shorter than normal, contact your nearest qualified service facility.
Use only batteries approved by the manufacturer and recharge your battery only
with the chargers approved by the manufacturer. Unplug the charger when not
in use. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for longer than a week,
since overcharging may shorten its lifetime. If left unused a fully charged battery
will discharge itself over time.
Temperature extremes can affect the ability of your battery to charge.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
Never use any charger or battery which is damaged.
HS-4W_EN_1st_tab.fm Page 19 Monday, August 15, 2005 11 47 AM

Battery information
20
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a
metallic object (coin, clip or pen) causes direct connection of the + and - terminals
of the battery (metal strips on the battery), for example, when you carry a spare
battery in your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the
battery or the connecting object.
Leaving the battery 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 temporarily not work, even when the battery is fully charged.
Batteries' performance is particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!
Discard batteries according to local regulations (e.g. recycling). Do not dispose as
household waste.
