Please read all Safety precautions before using your headset to ensure safe and
proper use.
Safety precautions
When using your headset while driving, follow local regulations in the region you are in.•
Never disassemble or modify your headset for any reason. Doing this may cause the•
headset to malfunction or become combustible. Bring the headset to an authorized service
center to repair it.
Keep your device and all accessories out of the reach of small children or animals. Small •
parts may cause choking or serious injury if swallowed.
Avoid exposing your device to very cold or very hot temperatures (below 0° C or above 45° C).•
Extreme temperatures can cause the deformation of the device and reduce the charging
capacity and life of your device.
Do not allow your device to get wet — liquids can cause serious damage. Do not handle•
your device with wet hands. Water damage to your device can void your manufacturer’s
warranty.
Avoid using your device’s light close to the eyes of children or animals.•
Do not use the device during a thunderstorm. Thunderstorms can cause the device to•
malfunction and increase the risk of electric shock.
Excessive exposure to sound at high volumes can cause hearing damage. Always
turn the volume down before plugging the earphones into an audio source and use
only the minimum volume setting necessary to hear your conversation or music.

Appendix
Frequently asked questions
Will my headset work
with laptops, PCs, and
PDAs?
Your headset will work with devices that support
your headset’s Bluetooth version and proles.
For specications, see page 22.
Why do I hear static
or interference while
on a call?
Appliances such as cordless phones and wireless
networking equipment may cause interference, which
usually sounds like static. To reduce any interference,
keep the headset away from other devices that use or
produce radio waves.
Will my headset
interfere with my
car’s electronics,
radio, or computer?
Your headset produces signicantly less power than
a typical mobile phone. It also only emits signals that
are in compliance with the international Bluetooth
standard. Therefore, you should not expect any
interference with standard consumer-grade electronics
equipment.

18
Can other Bluetooth
phone users hear
my conversation?
When you pair your headset to your Bluetooth phone,
you are creating a private link between only these two
Bluetooth devices. The wireless Bluetooth technology
used in your headset is not easily monitored by third
parties because Bluetooth wireless signals are signicantly
lower in radio frequency power than those produced
by a typical mobile phone.
Why do I hear an echo
while on a call?
Adjust the headset volume, or move to another area
and try again.
How do I clean
my headset?
Wipe it with a soft dry cloth.
The headset does
not fully charge.
The headset and the travel adapter may not have
been connected properly.
Separate the headset from the travel adapter,
reconnect, and charge the headset.
