INSERTING BATTERIES
To insert the batteries, open the battery door on the underside of the headset. Pull back the small tab (toward the black dot) and at the same time use fingernail on other hand to open battery door. The top end of the battery door (near tab) should open. The bottom end of the door is hinged so do not force it. Insert batteries with positive end of both batteries pointed up toward tab. Replace door, by again sliding tab up to allow door to fall back into original position.
CHARGING YOUR HEADSET
Before using your headset you must charge the batteries. We recommend that for the very first charging the headset be allowed to charge for six (6) hours. Subsequent charging will take 1-2 hours. The headset can be charged in either the ON or the OFF position.
Desktop Cradle Charging: Plug in one end of AC adapter into AC wall outlet and plug the connector end into the desktop cradle. Insert the headset into the desktop charging cradle making sure the metal contacts on the end of the headset touch the contacts in the cradle. The LED indicator by the ON-OFF switch will show continuous red which indicates the headset is charging. When fully charged the LED indicator will change to a continuous green color.
Charging With AC Adapter: Plug AC adapter into the AC wall outlet and plug the connector end into the bottom end of the headset (on the side with the ON-OFF switch). LED indications are same as above.
Charging With the USB Cable: You can charge your headset by using the power from you desktop or laptop computer. Using the supplied USB cable plug the USB connector end into
a USB port on your computer and plug the other connector end into the bottom of the headset or into the desktop charging cradle. LED indications are the same as above.
TURNING ON AND OFF THE HEADSET
To turn on the headset, slide the switch to the ON position. A tone will signify the headset is being turned on. The LED indicator will flash green. To turn off, slide the switch to OFF position. The LED indicator will also turn off.
BATTERY LOW INDICATION
The LED indicator will flash red every 2.5 seconds when the battery becomes low in charge. Re-charging is recommended at this time.
PAIRING YOUR HEADSET
In order for your headset to communicate with your Bluetooth enabled phone the two must be “paired” together. You should consult your phone’s user manual on how to make such a pairing as all phones are slightly different.
Your headset needs to be “discoverable” by the phone (or other Bluetooth device) so the two can be linked together. To put the headset in the discoverable mode, push the TALK button and hold it (for about five seconds) until the LED indicator begins flashing green and red alternately and you will also hear a beep tone in the earpiece. Then select the function on your phone which makes the phone search or “look for” Bluetooth devices. This linking procedure should be explained in your phone’s user manual.
Once it has “found” or linked with the headset then it is ready to be paired. Your mobile phone will prompt you for a password, PIN, or pairing code (wording varies by phone manufacturer). At that point ENTER 0000. You will then most likely be prompted by the phone whether you want to connect with the headset. After you respond affirmatively you should then get confirmation that your phone and headset are “connected”. The GE 86708 headset is now in standby mode and ready for use. The LED indicator will flash green more rapidly once connected.
Pairing Notes:
•This headset can be paired with up to eight phones/devices. The most recently paired phone will be at the top of the list.
•When the TALK button is pressed in standby mode the headset will try to connect to the most recently paired phone only.
•The GE 86708 can also be paired with other Bluetooth enabled devices like computers or voice access gateway type products.
TO MAKE CALLS
You can make calls by either a) dialing directly from your phone, b) using Voice Dialing, or c) using Last Number Redial function. To use Voice Dialing or Last Number Redial these must be supported by your mobile phone. Consult your phone’s user manual for phone-specific instructions.
Before using the Voice Dial function you must first set up “voice tags” according to your phone’s user’s manual. To make a Voice Dial call simply press the TALK button once to enable Voice Dialing. You will hear a couple low tone beeps to signify an attempt to connect. To call using Last Number Redial press twice the TALK button.
NOTE: This headset will work within 33-feet or 10-meters from the location of the phone or other Bluetooth enabled device.
TO END CALLS
To end a call, press the TALK button once after conversation has ended. A double tone will sound.
VOLUME CONTROL
Press the VOLUME + to increase volume and VOLUME – to decrease volume. A short beep will be heard indicating that maximum or minimum volume level is reached.
TO ANSWER AN INCOMING CALL
To answer an incoming call, press TALK once.
A couple low tone beeps (repeated until call is answered) will signify an attempt to connect is being made. A short higher tone beep will signify the connection was successfully made. To reject an incoming call, press and hold the TALK button for about two seconds.
CALL WAITING
The Call Waiting function on your phone would need to be turned on before this function could be used. Not all phones support Call Waiting. To accept a second incoming call and disconnect the first party, press TALK once when you hear the beep indicating an incoming call. To accept the second caller but place on hold the first party, press and hold the
TALK button.
TRANSFER CALL BACK TO PHONE
To transfer the call back to your phone, press TALK twice.
