Danger
To avoid hearing damage limit the time you use
the headphones at high volume and set the
volume to a safe level.The louder the volume
the shorter is the safe listening time.
Be sure to observe the following
guidelines when using your headphones.
• Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable
periods of time.
• Be careful not to adjust the volume
continuously upwards as your hearing adapts.
• Do not turn up the volume so high that you
can’t hear what’s around you.
• You should use caution or temporarily
discontinue use in potentially hazardous
situations.
• Using this headset with both ears covered
while driving is not recommended and may
be illegal in some areas while driving.
• For your safety avoid distractions from
music or phone calls while in traffic or other
potentially dangerous environments.

8 Using more of your
Bluetooth stereo headset
8.1 Learn about the battery status
Immediately after turning the headset on, the
LED will indicate the battery status.
LED behaviour Battery status
3x red blinking Less than 25% battery
remaining
2x red blinking Less than 50% of charge
remaining

remaining
The LED will continuously flash red with about 5
minutes of talk time remaining.You will also hear
two short beeps every minute to remind you to

8.2 Learn about simultaneous use for
voice and audio
Your Bluetooth stereo headset can connect to
• one Bluetooth audio device (supporting the
A2DP and AVRCP Bluetooth profile) and
• one Bluetooth communication device
(supporting HFP or HSP Bluetooth profile) at
the same time.
Therefore you can connect your Bluetooth
stereo headset.
• with a Bluetooth stereo enabled phone to
both listen to music and lead calls, or
• with a Bluetooth phone that does not
support Bluetooth stereo (A2DP) to lead
calls and at the same time to a Bluetooth
audio device (Bluetooth enabled MP3 player,
Bluetooth audio adapter etc.) to listen to
music. Make sure to pair the phone first
with your Bluetooth headset, then turn both
the phone and headset off to then pair the
Bluetooth audio device.
With the SwitchStream feature you can listen to
music and monitor your calls at the same time.
Even while listening to music, you will hear a ring
tone when receiving a call and can switch to the
call simply by tapping the button.
8.3 Learn about FullSound
FullSound is a smart digital sound enhancement
algorithm, which runs on a powerful processor
inside your Bluetooth headset.
It restores and enhances bass, treble, stereo
effects and dynamics of compressed music
and leads to a more natural,“real life” sound
experience based on years of acoustic research
and tuning.
The FullSound feature decreases music playing
time by less than 10% if activated. The feature
is activated when you buy the product, to
turn FullSound off or on hold
and
simultaneously for 4 seconds.You will hear one
short beep after turning FullSound on, and two
short beeps after turning FullSound off.
