User Guide
GETTING STARTED
Remove all components from the package. Items in the pack
include: AAA Bluetooth headset with Ear Hook, Ear Cap, User
Guide. Please check the contents carefully and contact your
local dealer immediately if there are any shortages.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR HEADSET
See image above. Please note some models of headset will
differ slightly in style, color and the functionality may vary
according to their specifications
INSERT THE AAA BATTERY TO YOUR HEADSET
The headset is powered by one AAA alkaline battery. Please
insert a AAA alkaline battery before use. A new AAA battery
will provide up to 20 hours of talk time and up to 30 days of
standby time.
Please note the talk time and standby time figures are
best estimates only. Quoted figures will vary depending
on usage patterns, connecting device (including mobile
phone) and AAA battery specifications. We recommend
using a high capacity AAA battery (alkaline, rechargeable
NiMH or Lithium) for optimum performance. Rechargeable
NiMH and lithium batteries may provide the lowest long
term cost, despite higher initial costs.
To insert AAA battery
1. Unlock the battery chamber
cover by sliding the lock towards
the Volume DOWN ‘–‘ button.
2. Open the battery chamber by
sliding off the cover away from
the ear piece in the direction of
the arrow.
3. Insert the AAA battery making
sure the Positive (+) end is facing
out of the chamber and hence touching the battery cover.
4. Use the battery cover to push the battery down and slide
the battery chamber cover back into place and lock.
PAIRING THE HEADSET WITH YOUR MOBILE PHONE
Pairing is the process of linking the headset with your
Bluetooth mobile phone. Before you use the AAA headset
with your mobile phone you must pair them. After this
process is completed, you can use the headset only with its
paired mobile phone. If you wish to use the headset with a
different mobile phone, you must repeat the pairing process
with the new mobile phone. In this case, the headset will no
longer work with the original mobile phone.
Please refer to the user manual of your mobile phone for
further information on ‘How to Pair’. Typically, you need
to make your phone ‘Discover’ the headset by using a
“Bluetooth”, “Connect” or “Setup” menu then selecting an
option to “Discover” other Bluetooth devices.
To pair the devices
1. Before you pair the headset, ensure that the battery is
fully charged.
2. Set up your mobile phone to “Discover” your headset.
3. With the headset turned off, press and hold the Talk button
for about 7 seconds until the blue and amber LEDs flash
alternately or until you will hear the “PAIR” tone (the second
of two tones)..
4. Release the Talk button. The headset is now in “Pairing”
Mode.
5. Initiate the device discovery feature on the mobile phone.
Refer to the mobile phone user guide for instructions on
initiating this feature.
6. When prompted by the mobile phone, enter the headset
passkey or PIN code 0000. When pairing is complete, the Blue
LED on headset will flash at three second intervals and the
headset will be placed
If disconnection or a lost link occurs, it may be due to
the following reasons:
a) The range is over 33 feet between the headset and
the mobile phone.
b) The mobile phone disconnected the link to conserve
power or enable another function.
c) Either device has been switched off.
Note:
The headset, in normal operation, should maintain the
