Multi-pairing method
Before you can connect the headset to two devices, you must pair to each
device individually.
The device you are pairing must support one of the following Bluetooth
profiles:
•HSP (Headset Profile)—Provides two-way communication between the
headset and a Bluetooth phone. This profile is the most commonly used
profile for Bluetooth phones. A paired phone must support HSP or HFP.
See the documentation that came with the phone to determine if the
phone supports HSP or HFP.
•HFP (Hands-Free Profile)—Provides two-way communication between the
headset and a Bluetooth phone. If the phone does not use HSP, it uses
this profile. A paired phone must support HSP or HFP. See the
documentation that came with the phone to determine if the phone
supports HFP or HSP.

RF-MAB2 Bluetooth Stereo Headset
•A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile)—Provides high quality audio
(stereo and mono) communication between the headset and a phone’s
or computer’s MP3 player.
•AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile)–Lets an MP3 player control the
headset media playback buttons (such as play/pause or
rewind/fast-forward). If you connect an MP3 player, the player must
support AVRCP. See the documentation that came with the MP3 player
to determine if the player supports AVRCP. Windows Media Player
supports AVRCP.
A profile can only connect one device at a time. For example, you cannot use
a phone’s MP3 player and a computer’s MP3 player at the same time,
because both players are connected through the A2DP profile.
You can connect a phone and a computer at the same time because the
phone uses HSP or HFP and the computer uses A2DP. This lets you listen to
music from the computer and answer phone calls at the same time.
Notes:
In multi-pairing mode, some functions may be restricted depending on the host
devices.
Not all devices and functions may be compatible with multi-pairing.
Primary and secondary devices
If you pair two devices, the last device you paired is the primary device and
controls the headset buttons. The first device you paired is the secondary
device and has limited control of the headset buttons.
For example, if you connect a phone, then connect an MP3 player, you can
answer the phone while listening to music, but you cannot use the phone’s
redial or voice recognition functions because the MP3 player controls the
headset buttons.
If you turn off the MP3 player (primary device), the phone (secondary
device) does not automatically gain control of the headset buttons. You
need to pair the phone again before the phone can control the headset
buttons.
Making phone calls
To: Do this:
Voice dial Press (Talk) once. (Some phones may not support
this function.)
Redial Press (Talk) twice.
Answer a call Press (Talk) once.
End a call Press (Talk) once.
