Bluetooth wireless technology provides a way for devices, like headsets and
phones, to communicate with each other without wires. Pairing is the set-up
process of introducing your headset to your phone. Before using your headset
for the rst time, you must pair it with your Bluetooth-enabled phone.
Plantronics QuickPair™ Technology
To simplify the Bluetooth setup process, your new headset uses Plantronics
QuickPair technology. This process is shown on the next page.
• The rst time you turn your headset on, your headset
automatically enters pairing mode for 10 minutes.
•
Until you successfully pair your headset with a Bluetooth-enabled
phone, every time you turn it on it will enter pairing mode.
• To later pair to a new phone, with the headset off, press and
hold the One-Touch Button until the LED ashes red-blue, which
indicates pairing mode status .
Range (the distance between headset and phone)
• To maintain the connection, keep your headset within 33 feet of
your phone.
• For the least amount of interference place the headset and phone
on the same side of your body.
If you move too far from your phone and lose the Bluetooth connection:
•
the headset may reconnect automatically within 60 seconds when
you move closer to your phone (you will hear a low tone), OR
• you may have to tap the One-Touch Button to reconnect (you will
hear a low tone), OR
• if neither of the above options work, you may have to reconnect
to your headset using your phone’s Bluetooth menu.
