SETTING UP YOUR HEADSET
Charge the Battery
Before using your headset, charge the battery until the red LED turns o (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 side 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 30 seconds and see
the red LED (depending on your headset status).
NOTE: 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.
NOTE: The headset automatically goes into pairing mode when it is used for the rst time.
Make sure the headset is powered on and the power adapter is not connected (you can’t use the
headset while it’s charging).
Press and hold MFB until the LED ashes alternating red and blue (approximately 6 seconds),
then release.The headset is in pairing mode and should be visible to other Bluetooth devices.
On your phone, start a search for Bluetooth headsets or handsfree devices. (This process may
take several seconds, and it will be dierent for each phone; see your phone’s manual for
detailed instructions.)

Your phone should discover a device called a BT230 or BT230 headset , When your phone asks if
you want to pair with this device, select yes.
When your phone prompts you for a PIN code or password to pair with the BT230, enter 0000.
NOTE: If your phone supports Bluetooth 2.1, you do not need to enter a password.
When the headset is paired, the blue LED ashes twice every 5 seconds; your phone might also
display a conrmation message.
NOTE: If the blue LED ashes once every 5 seconds, the headset is not paired. Try the
pairing procedure again.
Connect to Your Phone
Most phones connect to the headset as soon as you pair it; if yours won’t, turn the headset
o and back on. If the headset still won’t connect, check your phone’s owner’s manual for
additional Bluetooth information.
Once the Headset is Paired
Whenever you turn the headset on, it will automatically try to connect to whatever device it was
connected to last.
