Getting Started
Pairing with Bluetooth Devices
Before you can start using your BeHear NOW headset with a Bluetooth device (such as a
smartphone), you need to pair it with the Bluetooth device. Pairing can be done in either of two
ways:
•
Using the
W&H BeHear
app (which can be downloaded for free from the Google Play Store
or the Apple Store, see
“
Installing the Application
”
later in this manual). After launching the
app and placing the headset into pairing mode (
see instructions below
), the pairing process
will proceed. Follow to the application
’s prompts
(
see “
Connection Screen
” below
).
•
Using your
smartphone’s
Bluetooth setup process. Make sure the Bluetooth function is
turned on in the Bluetooth device. The headset will appear in the list of available devices as
BeHear NOW
.
How to Place the BeHear NOW Headset into Pairing Mode

Make sure the BeHear NOW headset is powered off.
2.
Then, press and hold down the power
button on the neck band for
up to 5 seconds
,
until the LED alternates red/blue.

When the pairing is complete the BeHear NOW headset will be connected to the Bluetooth
device automatically, as indicated by the blue LED which blinks periodically every 5 seconds.
Pairing BeHear NOW with Additional Bluetooth Devices
After pairing BeHear NOW with the first Bluetooth device repeat the same steps to pair it with
additional Bluetooth devices. Your BeHear NOW headset can be paired with up to eight
Bluetooth devices in total. If the list of paired devices is full you can clean it up by resetting the

Choosing from Multiple BeHear NOW Headsets Paired to the Same Smartphone
If you have more than one BeHear NOW headset paired with the same phone you can choose
the desired headset by its serial number. The serial number of the BeHear NOW headset is listed
underneath the product name in the W&H BeHear app
Connection
screen. The number can be
matched to the serial number printed on the inside panel of the BeHear NOW neck band.

connections simultaneously. For example, if you connect your headset with two phones or with

separately), you can receive calls or listen to audio from both devices without having to
disconnect and reconnect.
