1. 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

2. Switch on the headset. Make sure that the headset is charged.
3. Activate the Bluetooth connection from the phone. For more information, see
the user guide of the phone.
4. Set the phone to search for Bluetooth devices as instructed in the user guide of
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.

• 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.

■Adjusting the earphone volume
Press the volume control key to increase or decrease the volume.
■Switching the call between phone and headset
You can switch an active call between the headset and a compatible device. To
switch the call from the headset to a phone and vice versa, press and hold the
answer/end key or use the respective function in your phone.
■Using the headset with several paired phones
Before the headset can be used, the compatible phone has to be paired with the
headset. The headset can be paired with up to 8 compatible phones but connected
to only one phone at a time.
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.

Copyright © 2004 Nokia. All rights reserved. 18
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

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 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.
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

Copyright © 2004 Nokia. All rights reserved. 20
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.
