Operation (continued) Preparing the Headset for Use—Pairing PIN Code: The PIN code for the Headset is preset to 1234. It will be needed for pairing. Before the Headset can communicate, it must be paired to the companion device it will be used with, such as a mobile phone. This is to ensure the Headset only communicates with the device chosen by the user and not any other Bluetooth devices in range. Pairing information is stored by the Headset and can be changed at any time.
Operation (continued) 4. The LED will alternately flash red/green. 5. Follow instructions for the companion device to pair to the Headset. 6. When prompted on the companion device, enter the PIN code for the Headset. 7. When paired, the Headset will give a short confirmation tone and switch to STANDBY, ready for operation. Receiving and Ending a Call • To receive a call, the Headset must be in STANDBY mode. • When a call is received, the Headset will generate a ringing signal in the earpiece.
Operation (continued) Initiating a Call • When in STANDBY mode, a short press will initiate a connection to the companion device. • For example, this could be used to initiate a call with a mobile phone. • During a call, when in TALK mode, the microphone may be muted and un-muted by a medium press of the main button. • A short press of the main button will end a call. • If the Headset is muted, it is necessary to un-mute with a medium button press before ending the call.
Operation (continued) Battery Status The LED will flash in TALK, muted, and STANDBY mode. When the battery has adequate charge, this will be with a green color, changing to red when the battery is low. Charging The Headset is supplied with a charger to recharge the internal battery. Do not attempt to use any other charger and refer to the “Important Information for Safe Use” section above for important safety information.
Operation (continued) • Sometimes, when the Headset is placed on charge with the LED still showing a green color, the LED color may change initially from green to red. This is normal and indicates the Headset is not yet fully charged immediately after connecting the charger. • The charge time is approximately five hours from discharged to fully charged. Troubleshooting—Product Reset • If the Headset stops operating, first ensure it is charged by charging it for five hours.
