■ 6 │ GB│IE│NI
ŶRepairs to the device during the warranty period may only be
carried out by a customer service department authorised by the
manufacturer. Otherwise, no warranty claims will be held for any
subsequent damages.
ŶDefective components must always be replaced with original
replacement parts. Compliance with the safety requirements can
only be guaranteed by using these replacement parts.
ŶNever operate the device in the vicinity of naked flames (e.g.
candles), and do not place burning candles on or next to the

ŶDo not expose the device to water spray or dripping water, and
do not place liquid-filled objects such as vases or open drinks
containers on or near the device.
ŶNever subject the device to extreme heat or humidity. This par-
ticularly applies to storage in a car. If the car is at a standstill for
longer periods and the weather is warm with solar irradiation,
high temperatures occur in the car interior and the glove compart-
ment. Remove electrical and electronic devices from the vehicle.
ŶAlways unplug the car charger adapter by pulling on the plug –
do not pull the cable itself.
ŶDo not place any items of furniture or other heavy objects on the
cable and ensure that it cannot become bent.
ŶThe cable must be routed so it does not interere with the opera-
tion of the vehicle. The cable may not be routed in the deployment
area of the airbag, otherwise this could cause serious injuries if the
airbag is triggered.
ŶDo not use any adapter or extension cable to connect the car
charger adapter to the power supply.
ŶATTENTION! Comply with all local laws. Your hands must

proper functioning of the pacemaker could be affected by radio
waves.
ŶThe transmitted radio waves can cause noise interference in hearing
aids.
ŶDo not use the device with the radio components switched on
in the presence of flammable gases or in a potentially explosive
atmosphere (e.g. in a paint shop), as the transmitted radio waves
can cause an explosion or ignite a fire.
ŶThe range of the radio waves is dependent on the environment
and the ambient conditions.
ŶData transmissions via a wireless connection can be intercepted
by unauthorised third parties.

Inserting the Li-ion battery
♦ Open the battery compartment by pressing on the battery
compartment cover and pushing it in the direction of the em-
bossed arrow.
♦ Insert the Li-ion battery into the battery compartment . En-
sure that the three contacts of the battery lie in the same corner
as the three pins in the battery compartment . The type plate of

SFA 40 A2 GB│IE│NI│ 13 ■
Pairing the hands-free set with a compatible
mobile phone
Before you can use the hands-free set, you must pair it with a com-
patible mobile telephone.
♦ With the hands-free set switched off, press the multifunction
button for about 6 seconds until you hear a ris-
ing series of beeps and the operating LED flashes alternately
blue and orange. The hands-free set is now in pairing mode for
about 2 minutes.
If the pairing does not happen within this time, you will here two
low beeps and the hands-free set switches off.
♦ Set the mobile telephone so that it scans for Bluetooth®de-
vices. A detailed description of how to do this is to be found in
the operating instructions for your mobile telephone.
♦ Select the entry SFA 40 A2 from the list of found devices in
your mobile phone to pair the two devices. The name of the
hands-free set SFA 40 A2 now appears on the list of paired

Auto power function
The auto power function enables you to set the device so that it
switches back on automatically and connects to a known mobile
phone as soon as the built-in vibration sensor is activated.
If the device has lost its connection to a mobile phone, e.g. due to
excessive distance, and it has not been restored within 10 minutes,
it will switch to auto power function (if this has been previously acti-
vated). If there is a vibration, e.g. caused by opening the car door,
the device switches back on and automatically attempts to connect
to known mobile phones for about 2 minutes. If there is no known
mobile phone in range, the device switches back to auto power func-
tion. The auto power function also works if you have switched the
device off manually.
NOTE
► It is however possible that the automatic connection cannot be
made depending on the mobile phone used. If this happens, press
the multifunction button to restore the connection.
► With some mobile phones, the connection must also be
confirmed on the mobile phone itself. Please also refer to the
operating instructions for the respective mobile phone.
► You can only switch on the auto power function if the hands-
free set is not in pairing mode.
► If you do not have your phone with you during your journey,
we recommend switching off the auto power function. In this
way you can prevent the device from switching itself on and off
due to vehicle movements.
♦ Press and hold the mute button for about 2 seconds to
turn on the auto power function. The operating LED briefly
lights up green.

SFA 40 A2 GB│IE│NI│ 15 ■
♦ Press and hold the mute button again for about 2 sec-
onds to turn off the auto power function. The operating LED
lights up briefly green three times.
Multipoint function
The multipoint function allows you to use the hands-free set with two
mobile phones simultaneously. This is useful for users with a private
and a business mobile phone.
♦ The pairing of additional mobile phones is carried out in the
same manner as described in the section “Pairing the hands-
free set with a compatible mobile phone”. Start the pairing
process for each phone with the hands-free set switched off.
If you have paired several mobile phones, the hands-free set will now
have several “known” devices available. This status is a prerequisite
for an active connection between the hands-free set and other
mobile phones. A maximum of 8 mobile phones can be saved as
“known” devices. The number of devices that can be actively linked
to the hands-free set is limited to two.
As soon as one or two of the known devices come into range of the
hands-free set, the connection to the devices is made automatically.
In some cases, you must confirm the connection manually on your
mobile phone. If a third “known” device comes into range of the
hands-free set, the connection to this device will remain blocked until
one of the two active connections is broken or one of the two devices
leaves the transmission range. If the connection of one of the paired
devices is broken, the link becomes free for the third (waiting) device.
If two mobile phones are linked to the hands-free set, different ring
tones are used for incoming calls.
