What is Bluetooth®?
Bluetooth wireless technology provides a way for devices to
communicate with each other using short-range radio frequency instead
of wires. Any two Bluetooth devices can communicate as long as they
both have Bluetooth turned on, they are within range and they have
been paired — a quick “handshake” process that connects the two
devices. Bluetooth range is up to 10 metres (33 feet). Obstructions such
as walls or other electronics devices can cause interference or shorten
the effective range.
NOTE For optimal performance, place your headset and phone on the
same side of your body.

How to Charge Your Headset Using the AC Charger
Before using your headset for the first time, charge it for at least
20 minutes. A full charge takes approximately two hours.
1 Connect the AC charger to a power outlet.
2 Plug the AC jack into the charging jack on the headset.
While your headset is charging, the indicator glows red. When your
headset is fully charged, the indicator turns off. Do not use your headset
while it is connected to the charger.
NOTE Never charge the battery where the temperature may fall below
0°C (32°F) or rise above 40°C (104°F) – for example, in an unattended
motor vehicle. Do not charge the battery while it is unattended.

Pairing Your Headset
Pairing is the process of introducing your headset to your phone.
Before using your headset for the first time, you must pair it with
your Bluetooth phone. Normally, you need to pair your headset with
your phone only once.
Plantronics QuickPair™Technology
Your new headset includes Plantronics QuickPair technology to simplify
the Bluetooth setup process. The first time you turn your headset on,
your headset automatically enters pairing mode for 10 minutes (the
indicator light flashes red and blue). Once paired successfully, your
headset stays on for instant use.
If not successfully paired after 10 minutes, your headset automatically
goes to standby mode. When you turn the headset off then on again,
it automatically goes into pairing mode until successfully paired with a
Bluetooth phone.
