General Information

You cannot use the headset while it is recharging.

Bluetooth wireless devices have a maximum range 

of 0 feet (10 m); the actual range varies depending 

on current conditions (obstacles, battery power, 

interference, etc.).

The headset can be connected only to devices 

that support the Bluetooth headset or hands-free 

profile. This product is not compatible with standard 

cordless phones.

Battery life

With average use, the battery should provide about 

6 hours of talk time and  days of standby time. If a 

battery is new or left unused for a long time, it can 

have reduced capacity the first few times you use it. 

For maximum battery life, keep the battery charged.

When the battery only has enough charge for about 

15 minutes of talk time, the headset triggers a low 

battery alert: you’ll hear a periodic beep, and the 

LED changes from blue to red.

When the battery no longer has enough charge to 

operate the headset, the headset will power off; 

you won’t be able to turn it back on until you charge 

the battery.

Noise or Static on the Headset

The most common cause of noise or static on any 

wireless device is interference. Bluetooth devices 

operate in the ISM band (.0 GHz ~ .0 GHz); 

any equipment operating in this frequency range 

might interfere with the headset. Some common 

sources of interference in this range are

Equipment that uses microwaves, especially 

microwave ovens

Wireless LAN equipment or WiFi connections

Other Bluetooth devices or computers

Certain cordless telephones

Certain medical equipment and appliances

If you have problems with static during calls, look for 

one of these interference sources. Try moving away 

from the suspected source. 

If the noise continues, there may be interference 

on your phone itself, and any noise in the phone’s 

connection will come through on the headset, too. 

Transfer the call to your phone and see if the audio 

quality improves. If it doesn’t, look around for things 

that can interfere with your phone.
