Quick-Start Guide

Wearing and Adjusting the B250-XTS

For best noise-canceling performance, position the microphone towards the corner of your mouth. Positioning is 

important; small adjustments in microphone placement can improve performance.

1. Place the headset on your head.
2. Position the speaker directly over your ear by sliding the headband in or out of the side support.
3. Align the “Talk” side of the microphone toward your face.
4. Position the microphone at the corner of your mouth—about one finger’s width away from your face.
5. To adjust the headband tension, flex it outward to loosen or inward to tighten.

Charging 

Connect the USB charging cord to the headset. The headset LED will glow red when charging and blue when fully 

charged.  

  

Power B250-XTS On/Off 

On:

 Hold down the MFB for 2-3 seconds, until you hear a voice prompt (in English), “Power On.” The blue light 

will quickly flash three times as the headset turns on.

Off:

 Hold down the MFB for 3-4 seconds, until you hear a voice prompt (in English), “Power Off.” A red light will 

flash 4 times and the headset will turn off.

Manual Pairing 

Placing Headset into Pairing Mode:

 With the headset powered off, press and hold the MFB. You will hear 

the voice prompt “Power On” (in English). 

Keep holding

 the MFB for approximately 10 seconds, until you hear 

“Discovering” (in English). Indicator lights will alternately flash between red and blue. Headset will be visible for 

pairing to devices for 120 seconds.

Pairing to a Cell Phone:

1. Make sure that other Bluetooth devices are turned off or out of range.
2. Place headset into pairing mode.
3. Put your cell phone in Bluetooth Search/Scan Mode per the manufacturer’s instructions.
4. Select “VXi B250-XTS” to pair. (Passcode is “0000” if needed.) 
5. When connected, the headset will give you the voice prompt, “Your headset is connected” (in English).

Multi-Point Mode

In multi-point mode, the headset can be simultaneously paired and connected to two cell phones. The headset 

will allow you to switch between phones when there is an incoming call. Multipoint needs to be enabled on the 

headset to do this. See the full user guide for more information.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: Prolonged exposure to high volume levels can damage your hearing. To avoid injury, set the 

volume to the lowest comfortable level. If you experience ringing in your ears, or voices sound muffled, stop using the 

headset. Avoid turning up the volume to block noisy surroundings. Your ears may adapt to volume that is too high, which 

could result in permanent hearing damage without any noticeable discomfort.
