Setting Up Your Headset
Charge the battery
Before using your headset, charge the battery until the red LED is solid on (about 2 hours).
Charging the battery completely (and keeping it charged) will help you get the longest possible
talk and standby time out of the battery.
Connect the adapter to the power connector on the top of the headset, then plug it into any
standard 120 V AC (regular indoor) power outlet.
When the battery needs to be recharged, you will hear warning beeps every 20 seconds and see
the red LED (depending on your headset status).
Use ONLY the AC adapter supplied with the headset! Using any other adapter could
damage your headset, create a re hazard, or cause a risk of electric shock!
Pair the headset to your Bluetooth phone
Pairing is like“introducing”two Bluetooth devices and giving them permission to connect
to each other. If you want to use the headset with more than one phone, you need to pair
it with each phone separately. Once you pair a phone to the headset, the two devices can
connect automatically whenever they can detect each other.

then release.The headset is in pairing mode and should be visible to other Bluetooth devices.

take several seconds, and it will be dierent for each phone; see your phone’s manual for
detailed instructions.)

you want to pair with this device, answer yes.

When the headset is paired, the blue LED ashes twice every 5 seconds; your phone might also
display a conrmation message.
If the blue LED ashes once every 5 seconds, the headset is
not paired. Try the pairing procedure again.
