To Achieve the Best Performance
with Your Sound ID 200 Headset:
• Place the phone in a belt holder or maintain a line-of-sight.
Holding the phone in your hand reduces the wireless signals.
• Having the mobile phone on the opposite side as your
headset or behind you will reduce wireless signals. Keep
the mobile phone and headset on the same side, preferably
line-of-sight. If you experience intermittent static, reposition
the phone to find the best reception.
• As you increase the separation between your phone and your
headset the wireless signal strength will be reduced and will
produce static and/or disconnect. Reduce the distance.
• If you put your phone in a purse or briefcase, keep the
purse or briefcase on the same side as the headset.

How It Works

You must pair your headset with your mobile phone before it will work.
Consult your phone manual for pairing instructions for your specific
phone model. In general, here's how: 1) Turn OFF the headset if it is on.
Turn ON the phone and navigate to “Bluetooth Link”. 2) Press and hold
down the Main Button on the Sound ID 200 for eight seconds until the
light flashes red and green. Note: the Sound ID 200 is automatically
placed in pairing mode with the LED flashing red and green each time it
is powered on until successfully paired. 3) Select LOOK FOR DEVICES
on the mobile phone, and then select “Sound ID 200” when it appears on
the menu screen. 4) If asked to pair, select YES. 5) If asked for a pin,
passcode, or passkey, enter “0000”. 6) After successfully pairing, the
Sound ID 200 status light will stop flashing and the device will remain ON.
Having Difficulty Pairing?
Step 1: Clear the Phone
Delete any old pairings from the phone(this can sometimes be hard to
find in the menus). Turn the phone off. Remove the battery from the
phone. Wait 20 seconds then re-assemble the phone and turn it on.
Step 2: Clear the Earpiece
Put the earpiece in pairing mode. Hold both buttons until two beeps are
heard (2-4 seconds). Note: you must hold the earpiece up to your ear
while you hold the buttons down so you can hear the beeps. Turn the
earpiece off.

Installing the RealComfort™Ear Loop
Three ear pieces are provided each with a different size RealComfort™
Ear Loop (large, medium, and small). The ear piece with the medium Ear
Loop comes pre-installed on the headset, so check its fit first. If it’s not
comfortable, try the other two to find the best fit. If you need to change
the ear piece, gently pull it away from the headset, then snap on the
desired ear piece and line the tip up with the left or right ear preference
(as shown on the Sound ID 200 below).

Sound ID’s Custom Ear Mold Option
Soft Custom Ear molds can be individually made for your ear to provide
enhanced comfort, security and sound quality.
Doctors of Audiology or Audiologists are hearing professionals that can
advise you about your hearing and take an impression of your ear. The
process takes about 15 minutes. The impression is sent to a laboratory,
a custom ear mold is fabricated, and sent directly to you. Sound ID has
made arrangements with a number of Audiologists who can procure and
adjust a custom eartip for you. For an Audiologist nearest you please visit
www.soundid.com.

general background noise to enhance what is heard by the other party.

enhance what you hear.
You can demonstrate the effect of NoiseNavigation™by turning it off and
on during a call. To turn all noise reduction off, press and hold the Volume
button for two seconds until you hear two beeps. To turn noise reduction
back on, press and hold the Volume button until you hear one beep.
