Introduction The BlueAnt S1 Bluetooth ® car kit offers a safe and legal alternative to talking on your phone while driving. Welcome to the S1 user manual. If you are looking for help with your BlueAnt S1, then you've come to the right place. This manual explains everything you need to know about your S1, and more. Getting to know your BlueAnt Device Your BlueAnt device came with a "Quick Start Guide", and you should read this first.
Please consider the environment before printing the user manual.
Getting Started: Pairing The S1 To get started, you need to pair the S1 with your phone. Pairing creates a stored link between the phone and the car kit. Once you have paired your phone with the S1 they will reconnect to each other in future without you having to repeat the pairing process. 1. Make sure the S1 is turned off. You can tell if the S1 is on or off by looking at the Bluetooth Light on the front.
If your phone does not connect to the S1, then use your phone's Bluetooth menu to initiate a connection to the S1. If you don't know how to do this, refer to the section on pairing in your phone's manual. You are now ready to start using the S1. On some phones you may need to change an additional security setting to allow the phone and car kit to reconnect to each other automatically every time they come back into range.
Installing the S1 in your Car The S1 is designed to attach to your car's sun visor. Use the supplied plastic clip to attach the S1 to the visor. 1. Attach the clip to the slots on the back of the S1 and slide it so that it locks in place. Do not force on the S1's buttons when you attach the clip. 2. You can attach the clip 2 different ways, depending on how you want to position the S1 on your car's sun visor. The closed side of the clip should be aligned with the top or bottom of the BlueAnt S1. 3.
Using the S1 Answering Calls If you've activated the S1's voice answer feature, then you can accept incoming calls with your voice: just say "ACCEPT CALL", "ANSWER", "ACCEPT", or "OK". You can also use the S1 buttons to answer or reject the call: • Click to accept the call. • Click to reject the call. If you want to end the call, just click or use your phone's end call button.
Making Calls To make a call, do any of the following: • Dial a number on your phone: the audio will automatically transfer to the S1. • To redial the last number you called, hold for about 3 seconds (this function is only available if your phone supports the handsfree Bluetooth profile). • If your phone supports voice dialing, then you can use it to make calls. Hold for about 1 second to activate your phone's voice dialing feature.
• The music will pause automatically if you receive a call on the phone. • You can use the volume buttons on the S1 to adjust the volume. Depending on your phone model, you may also be able to adjust the volume using the volume buttons on your phone. If the music does not play automatically through the S1, you may need to change a setting on your phone to configure it to play the music through Bluetooth.
Pairing You only need to pair your phone with the S1 once. Once you have paired your phone with the S1 they will reconnect to each other in future without you having to repeat the pairing process. If you need to pair an additional phone, simply: 1. Turn the S1 off by holding down (the Multi-Function button) for about 5 seconds. The S1 will beep and the light will turn red and then go out. 2.
Charging the S1 Your S1 has been given an initial charge to get going, but in future you will need to charge it for up to 3 hours. Use the supplied AC adapter to charge the S1 whenever the battery is low. You will be able to tell that the battery is low because the Bluetooth Light turns steady red. If the battery level drops to very low, then the S1 will play a low battery sound and automatically switch itself off. Charging the S1 with the AC Adapter 1.
Transferring Audio Between the S1 and your Phone If your phone supports the handsfree Bluetooth profile, then you can transfer the audio between the S1 and your phone during a call. • To transfer audio from the S1 to your phone, hold for about 3 seconds. • To transfer audio from your phone to the S1, hold for about 1 second. On some phones you may need to accept a connection prompt displayed on the phone before you can transfer the audio.
Automatic Reconnection The BlueAnt S1 is designed to reconnect to your phone automatically. If you take your phone out of range of the BlueAnt S1 for more than 20 seconds (without turning the S1 off), and then come back into range the S1 will search for your phone and reconnect automatically. It can take up to 10 seconds for the S1 to find your phone and reconnect. The S1 will only automatically reconnect to the last two connected phones.
Using More Than One Phone At The Same Time (Multipoint) The S1 supports multipoint technology. This means that you can use one S1 car kit with two different mobile phones or Bluetooth devices at the same time: if either phone rings, you can answer it with the BlueAnt S1. If I Have Two Phones Connected, Which One Will Be Used? When you have two phones connected to the S1: • You can answer calls received on either phone.
Setting the Primary Phone You can force the S1 to change the primary phone by doing any of the following: • Answer an incoming call. The phone receiving the call will become the primary phone. • Initiate a call from one of the phone handsets. The phone making the call will become the primary phone. • Hold for about 5 seconds. The primary and secondary phones will be swapped.
Multiple Calls The S1 does not allow you to hear a call or music from 2 phones simultaneously. If you receive a call while you are already on an ongoing call, you will hear a special ringtone. • Click to end the current call and accept the incoming call. • Click to reject the incoming call and continue with the current call. • Or do nothing if you want to ignore the incoming call and continue with the current call. You cannot use the voice answer feature when you are already on a call.
Troubleshooting This section describes some typical problems you may encounter, and explains how to solve them. General Advice If you are having problems with your S1, you can reset the S1 and start again: see "Resetting the S1" (page 18) for more information.

My Phone Does Not Automatically Reconnect to the S1 Once you have paired your phone with the S1, they should automatically reconnect every time they come back into range with each other. By default, some phones (including Blackberry phones) will prompt you to confirm whether you want to accept the connection from the S1.
