Setting up the VMX 100
Charging the battery in the headset
If you charge the battery for the first time, allow charging for
at least 4 hours without interruption.
Later, 2.5 hours suffice to fully charge the battery.
To charge the battery in the headset:
fTake off the headset and close the
microphone boom 쐃.
The headset is switched off.
fConnect the USB charging cable to
the headset’s socket for power
supply 쐂.
fConnect the USB plug of the USB
charging cable to:
•either the USB socket of the VMX 100 power supply
•or the USB socket of the VMX 100 car charger unit (only
VMX 100 3in1)
•or a USB socket of a computer.
fConnect the power supply or the car charger unit, respec-
tively, to the appropriate power outlet.
If the battery was completely drained, the LED 쐄flashes
red in the beginning of the charging process. During
charging, the LED
쐄lights red. When charging is com-
plete, the LED 쐄lights blue.
쐃
쐂

15
The charging process cannot be started during an ongoing
call. A fully charged battery provides a talk time of up to five
hours or a standby time of up to 100 hours. When the bat-
tery is about to run flat:
•The LED 쐄flashes red.
•Three beeps are heard in the headset every 30 seconds.
•Less than five minutes of talk time are left.
Switching the headset on/off
fOpen the microphone boom 쐃.
The headset is switched on. The
LED 쐄indicates the current op-
erating mode:
•If the LED 쐄flashes slowly in
blue, the headset is already
paired to a mobile phone. The
headset is therefore ready to
use.
•If the LED
쐄flashes alternatingly in red and blue, the
headset is not yet paired to a mobile phone. Pair it as
described under “Pairing the headset to mobile phones
or other Bluetooth devices” on page 16.
•If the headset is already paired to a mobile phone and if
there is an incoming call on your mobile phone, the call
is answered immediately by opening the microphone
boom 쐃without any further action.
쐃

16
To switch off the headset:
fClose the microphone boom 쐃.
The headset is switched off. The
LED 쐄stops flashing.
All settings are saved. The battery
lasts longer, if you switch off the
headset when not telephoning with
it.
Pairing the headset to mobile phones or other
Bluetooth devices
Pairing to a mobile phone
To be able to use the headset, you must first pair it to your
mobile phone or a similar device with a Bluetooth hands-free
or headset profile. Once you have paired the headset to a
mobile phone, the headset is connected automatically each
time this mobile phone and the headset detect each other.
fMake sure the headset is switched
on and placed close to your mobile
phone.
•If you have not yet paired the
headset to a mobile phone, the
headset enters the pairing mode
automatically.
•If you have already paired the
headset to another mobile phone
쐃
쐄

17
before, you have to enter the pairing mode manually by
opening the microphone boom
쐃while pressing the
volume button 쐏at the same time.
•The LED 쐄flashes alternatingly in red and blue to indi-
cate that the headset is in the pairing mode.
fOn your mobile phone, start a
search for Bluetooth devices
(see the manual of your mo-
bile phone) and follow any in-
struction displayed on your
mobile phone display.
fOnce the headset is detected
by your mobile phone, select “VMX 100”.
When the Bluetooth connection is successfully estab-
lished, the headset is identified as “VMX 100” in the mo-
bile phone’s display.
fWhen your mobile phone prompts a keyword, enter four
zeros (0000).
If pairing was successful, the LED 쐄flashes slowly in blue.
Once paired, your mobile phone will be able to transfer the
call audio to the headset – either automatically or manu-
ally (please see your mobile phone’s manual whether the
call audio is transferred automatically or manually). Most
mobile phones show a headset symbol in their display, if
successfully paired.
Pairing to other Bluetooth devices
If you wish to pair the headset to other Bluetooth devices,
please see the Bluetooth device’s manual.

Pairing to several mobile phones
If you wish to pair the headset to a second mobile phone, you
first have to disconnect from the first mobile phone (see the
manual of the first mobile phone). The headset saves up to
four pairing profiles. As soon as the headset is switched on it
tries to connect to the mobile phone that it was last con-
nected to. If this mobile phone is not detected by the head-
set, you can manually connect it with one of the other three
mobile phones (see the manual of the respective mobile
phone).
Wearing the headset
fOpen the microphone boom 쐃.
The headset is turned on. The
LED 쐄starts flashing slowly in
blue.
fPut the headset on. You can
wear the headset on either the
left or right ear without chang-
ing it.
fTurn the microphone boom 쐃towards your mouth.
The speaker 쐋operates in two directions so that you can
wear the headset on either your left or right ear without
changing it. However, the speaker is designed in a way that
other people in the vicinity cannot listen in the other party
and are not disturbed by the speaker.
