GETTING STARTED

On/Off/Standby

Turn Headset On: 

Hold down the MFB for approximately 2-3 seconds until 

you hear a voice prompt, “power on .” The red light will flash once every 
second . 

Turn Headset Off (conserves battery power):

 Hold down the MFB for 

approximately 4–5 seconds until you hear a voice prompt “power off .” A red 
light will flash 4 times and the headset will turn off . 

Standby Mode:

 Once the headset is turned on (after the initial pairing), it will 

attempt to connect to the last device that it was paired with, putting itself 
into Standby Mode .

Pairing with a Phone 

When you turn your B550-XT on for the 
first time, or if its Paired Device List has 
been cleared, it will go into pairing mode 
automatically . You can pair the headset using 
NFC or manually .

NFC (One-Touch) Pairing

1 .  Make sure that NFC is enabled on your cell  

 phone .

2 .   Place the NFC zone of your cell phone 

against the NFC zone of the headset and 

hold them together until your cell phone 

registers the headset . 

3 .   Follow the prompts on your cell phone to 

complete pairing .

Note: NFC and One-Touch Pairing are 
dependent on your cell phone. The size and 
sensitivity of your phone’s NFC zone and the 
specific way to connect the headset may vary 
between devices.
