USING THE SPH10
• Volume Adjustment
You can easily adjust the volume by rotating the Jog Dial.
You will hear a beep when the volume reaches maximum or
minimum level. The volume is set and maintained separately
at different levels for each function even when you turn off
and on the headset. For example, once you set the mobile
phone conversation volume, it is not changed even if you
raise the volume when you hear Bluetooth MP3 music. So you
can always maintain preferred optimum volume level for each
function.
• Mobile Phone Call Making and Answering
1. When you have an incoming call, simply tap the Phone
Button to answer the call.
2. You can also answer the incoming call by loudly speaking
any word of your choice if the Voice Activated Phone
Answering Function of the SPH10S is enabled. (Refer to the
next section for detail)
3. To reject a call, tap the Jog Dial while the phone is ringing.
4. To transfer a call between the mobile phone and the
headset, tap the Jog Dial during the phone conversation. You
will hear a short/long beep when the call is transferred to the
phone/headset.
5. There are several ways to make a phone call:
- Enter number on your mobile phone keypad and tap the
Phone Button. The call is automatically transferred to the
headset.
- Tap the Phone Button in stand-by mode to activate the
voice dialing of your mobile phone. For this, the voice
dialing feature must be available on the mobile phone.
Refer to your mobile phone manual for further instructions.
- To redial the last number, double tap the Phone Button in
stand-by mode.
• Enabling/Disabling Voice Activated Phone
Answering (Factory Default: Disabled)
If this feature is enabled, you can answer incoming calls by
simply saying a word loudly enough. For example, when you
hear a series of beeps by an incoming call, you can answer

SPH10S

the phone by saying “Hello” or any other word loudly. The
factory default setting is disabled. You can enable or disable
this mode. If this mode is disabled, the only way to answer an
incoming call is to tap the Phone Button.
1. Press and hold the Phone Button for 8 seconds until the
red LED is rapidly flashing. When you do this, after first 5
seconds you press the button, you will see the headset enters
into the Mobile Phone Pairing sequence, but you have to keep
pressing the button for another 3 seconds until the red LED
flashes rapidly.
2. To enable, tap the Phone Button, then the LED shows solid
blue for 2 seconds and you will hear double beeps.
3. To disable, tap the Jog Dial, then the LED shows solid red
for 2 seconds and you will hear a single beep.

4. When you have an incoming intercom call during a mobile
phone conversation, you will hear high tone 4 beeps. You have
to hang up the mobile phone to make an intercom connection.
• 3-Way Conference Intercom
You (A) could have a 3-way conference intercom with 2
other SMH10 friends (B & C) by establishing two intercom
connections at the same time. While a 3-way conference
intercom is in progress, mobile phone connection of all three
participants would be temporarily disconnected, but as
soon as the conference intercom terminates or one of the
participants leaves the intercom, all mobile phones would be
automatically reconnected. During the conference intercom,
if you have an incoming mobile phone call, terminate the
conference intercom to automatically reconnect the mobile
phone and receive the call.
1. You (A) need to be paired with two other friends (B & C) for
3-way conference intercom.
2. Start an intercom conversation with one of the two friends
in your intercom group. For example, you (A) may start
an intercom conversation with the Intercom Friend (B). Or
Intercom Friend (B) may start an intercom call with you (A).
3. The Second Intercom Friend (C) may join the intercom by
making intercom call to you (A)

4. Now you (A) and two SMH10 Intercom Friends (B & C) are
having a 3-way conference intercom.
• Terminating Conference Intercom
When you are a member of an active conference intercom,
you can completely get out of the conference intercom or
just terminate an intercom connection with one of your active
Intercom Friends.
1. With a 1 second press-and-hold of the Jog Dial, you can
get out of the conference intercom completely. It terminates

(C)
both of the two active intercom connections: one with (B) and
one with (C).
2. By single or double tapping the Jog Dial, you can terminate
the intercom connection with one of the two connected
Intercom Friends accordingly. For example, by single tapping
the Jog Dial, you can just terminate the intercom connection
with your First Intercom Friend (B). However, you still have the
intercom connection with your Second Intercom Friend (C).
• Enabling/Disabling Voice Activated Intercom
(Factory Default: Disabled)
If this feature is enabled, you can initiate an intercom
conversation with the last connected Intercom Friend by
speaking any word loudly enough.The most effortless way
to trigger intercom VOX is to blow into the microphone as
if blowing dust off the microphone. If you start an intercom
conversation by VOX, the intercom terminates automatically
whenyou and your Intercom Friend remain silent for 20
seconds. However, if you manually start an intercom
conversation by tapping the Jog Dial, you have to terminate
the intercom conversation manually by tapping the Jog Dial

SPH10S

again.
If this feature is disabled, the only way to initiate and terminate
an intercom conversation is to tap the Jog Dial.
1. Press and hold the Jog Dial for 8 seconds until the red LED
turns on solidly. When you do this, after first 5 seconds you
press the Jog Dial, you will see the headset enters into the
Intercom Pairing sequence, but you have to keep pressing the
Jog Dial for another 3 seconds until the LED turns to solid red.
2. To enable, tap the Jog Dial, then the blue LED flashes for 2
seconds and you will hear double beeps.
3. To disable, tap the Phone button, then the red LED flashes
for 2 seconds and you will hear a single beep.
However, even when this feature is enabled, if you terminate
intercom conversation manually by tapping the Jog Dial,
you cannot start intercom by voice temporarily. In this case,
you have to tap the Jog Dial to restart the intercom. This is
to prevent repeated unintentional intercom connections by
strong wind noise. If you tap the Jog Dial to start intercom
conversation, it is not terminated by 20 seconds of silence.
After turning SPH10S off and on, you can start intercom by
voice again.
Tip:
The Jog Dial is for any kind of Intercom related function, and
the Phone Button is for any functions of mobile phone. With this
reason, as far as intercom function is concerned, the Jog Dial
is used for a positive manner of action such as enabling, and
the Phone Button is for a negative manner of action such as
disabling. Vice versa for the mobile phone functions.
• Intercom Failure
When you try to start an intercom conversation with an
Intercom Friend who is already having a 3-way conference
intercom with other persons or a mobile phone call, you will
hear a low tone double beep signifying a busy signal. In this
case, you have to try again later.
• Intercom Reconnection
If your Intercom Friend goes out of range while having
an intercom conversation, you may hear static noise and

SPH10S
16
eventually the intercom will be disconnected. In this case,
the SPH10S automatically tries to reconnect the intercom
every 8 seconds and you will hear high tone double beeps
until the intercom is reestablished. If you don’t want to make a
reconnection, tap the Jog Dial to stop the attempt.
• Stereo Music
You can listen to stereo music in either way: with the enclosed
stereo audio cable or by Bluetooth wireless stereo.
1. By Stereo Audio Cable
Plug your stereo MP3 player directly to the SPH10S by using
the enclosed 3.5mm stereo audio jack cable. To adjust the
volume, rotate the Jog Dial on the headset. You may adjust the
volume on the MP3 player also.
MP3
Jack
2. By Bluetooth Wireless Stereo
The Bluetooth audio device must be paired with the SPH10S
by following the Bluetooth Audio Device Pairing instructions
described in the previous chapter. The SPH10S supports
the Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP), so if your
Bluetooth audio device also supports the AVRCP, you can use
the SPH10S to remotely control music playback. So, you may
not only adjust the volume but also use the functions such as
play, pause, next track and previous track.
•
To adjust the volume, rotate the Jog Dial.
•
To play or pause music, press and hold the Jog Dial for 1
second until you hear a double beep.

SPH10S
17
•
To track forward or track back, rotate while pressing the Jog
Dial clockwise or counter clockwise.
• Function Priority
The SPH10S operates in the following order of priority:
(highest) Mobile phone,
Intercom,
Stereo music by audio cable, and
(lowest) Bluetooth stereo music
A lower priority function is always interrupted by a higher
priority function. For example, stereo music is interrupted by
intercom call, and intercom conversation is interrupted by
incoming mobile phone call.
Tip: Stereo Music by Bluetooth or 3.5mm audio cable
Bluetooth music is available only when the MP3 jack port remains
open. Please make sure the audio cable is unplugged from the
clamp unit to play music by Bluetooth
Tip: Stereo Music by Bluetooth or 3.5mm audio cable
• Reset to Factory Default Settings
1. To restore the SPH10S to factory default settings, press and
hold the Phone Button for 12 seconds until the LED shows
solid red and you hear double beeps.
2. Then within 5 seconds, press the Jog Dial to confirm reset.
The headset will be restored to factory setting and switched
off automatically.
3. If you don’t press the Jog Dial within 5 seconds, the reset
attempt is canceled and the headset returns to stand-by
mode.

SPH10S
