SETTING UP YOUR TRAVEL KIT
CHARGE THE BATTERY
Before using your travel kit, charge the battery for
at least 3 hours. Charging the battery completely
(and keeping it charged) will help you get the longest
possible talk and standby time out of the battery. On
average, the battery provides about 10 hours of talk
time and about 330 hours of standby time.


10
You can charge the battery through the car’s power
outlet or through a 12 ~ 24V DC outlet. Both charging
adapters are included with your travel kit and both
adapters plug into the travel kit’s side charging port.
Connect either adapter to the power connector on the
side of the unit. Connect the AC adapter to a standard
120 volt AC (regular indoor) power outlet. Connect
the DC adapter to a standard 12 volt DC (automobile)
power outlet. The Charging Status icon displays and
will turn off when charging is complete.
When the battery is low, the unit will beep every 20
seconds. It will power off if it is not recharged in 10
minutes.

11
CAUTION! Use ONLY the power adapter
supplied with the travel kit. Using any other
adapter could damage your travel kit, create a
re hazard, or cause a risk of electric shock!
PAIR THE KIT TO YOUR BLUETOOTH PHONE
Pairing “introduces” two Bluetooth devices and gives
them permission to connect to each other. If you want
to use the travel kit with more than one phone, you
need to pair it with each phone separately. Once you
pair a phone to the travel kit, the two devices can
connect automatically whenever they detect each other.
The travel kit goes into autopairing mode automatically
when it is rst turned on.
Turn on the travel kit by sliding its cover up.1.

12
Press and hold Multifunction for 3 seconds until the
Bluetooth status icon ashes continuously.
On your phone, start a search for Bluetooth travel
kits or hands-free devices. (This process may take
several seconds, and it will be different for each
mobile phone; see your phone’s owner’s manual
for detailed instructions.)
Your phone should discover a device called a
BTS1200 or Handsfree device. When your phone
asks if you want to pair with this device, answer
yes.
If your phone prompts you for a PIN code or
password to pair with the BTS1200, enter 0000 .

NOTE: If your mobile phone supports
Bluetooth 2.1, you do not need to enter a PIN.
When the travel kit is paired, the Bluetooth LED
ashes twice every 5 seconds. Your phone might
also display a conrmation message.
If your phone asks if you want to change the
travel kit’s name, you should only change the
name if you have more than one BTS1200 that
you use with this phone.
Most phones connect to the travel kit as soon as
you pair them; if yours won’t, turn the travel kit off
and back on. If your travel kit still won’t connect,
check your phone’s owner’s manual for additional
information.

detects the phone again. To manually reconnect, press
Multifunction.

kit automatically reconnects to the other phone.
