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 33 feet (10 meters). 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.

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.
To see a demo of the pairing process, visit www.plantronics.com/
EasyToPair
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. Once
paired successfully, your headset stays on for instant use.
If not sucessfully paired after 10 minutes, your headset automatically
powers off. When you turn the headset on again, it automatically goes
into pairing mode until successfully paired with a Bluetooth phone.
