GETTING TO KNOW YOUR HEADSET
See image above. Please note some models of headset will differ slightly in style, color and the functionality may vary according to their specifications
INSERT THE AAA BATTERY TO YOUR HEADSET
The headset is powered by one AAA alkaline battery. Please insert a AAA alkaline battery before use. A new AAA battery will provide up to 20 hours of talk time and up to 30 days of standby time.
Please note the talk time and standby time figures are best estimates only. Quoted figures will vary depending on usage patterns, connecting device (including mobile phone) and AAA battery specifications. We recommend using a high capacity AAA battery (alkaline, rechargeable NiMH or Lithium) for optimum performance. Rechargeable NiMH and lithium batteries may provide the lowest long term cost, despite higher initial costs.

PAIRING THE HEADSET WITH YOUR MOBILE PHONE Pairing is the process of linking the headset with your Bluetooth mobile phone. Before you use the AAA headset with your mobile phone you must pair them. After this process is completed, you can use the headset only with its paired mobile phone. If you wish to use the headset with a different mobile phone, you must repeat the pairing process with the new mobile phone. In this case, the headset will no longer work with the original mobile phone.
Please refer to the user manual of your mobile phone for further information on ‘How to Pair’. Typically, you need to make your phone ‘Discover’ the headset by using a “Bluetooth”, “Connect” or “Setup” menu then selecting an option to “Discover” other Bluetooth devices.
To pair the devices
1.Before you pair the headset, ensure that the battery is fully charged.
2.Set up your mobile phone to “Discover” your headset.
3.With the headset turned off, press and hold the Talk button for about 7 seconds until the blue and amber LEDs flash alternately or until you will hear the “PAIR” tone (the second of two tones)..

5.Initiate the device discovery feature on the mobile phone. Refer to the mobile phone user guide for instructions on initiating this feature.
6.When prompted by the mobile phone, enter the headset passkey or PIN code 0000. When pairing is complete, the Blue LED on headset will flash at three second intervals and the headset will be placed
If disconnection or a lost link occurs, it may be due to the following reasons:
a)The range is over 33 feet between the headset and the mobile phone.
b)The mobile phone disconnected the link to conserve power or enable another function.
c)Either device has been switched off.
Note: The headset, in normal operation, should maintain the connection with the mobile phone at all times once pairing has been successful and a connection has been established between the two devices.
