BATTERY POWER INDICATORS

Indicator Lights

After the initial 12 hour charge, the indicator lights will indicate the level of battery power as follows.

Green light: Fully charged. Up to 16 hours talk time.

Green & red lights together: Approximately 60 seconds away from full charge.

Red light: Less than a full charge.

TIPS

Keep charger plugged into headset when not in use to avoid battery drain. It’s not necessary for the charger to be plugged into a power source to take advantage of this.

For best performance, keep charging headset when not in use.

PAIR HEADSET WITH THE PHONE

Keep headset & phone no less than 3 inches and no more than

3 feet apart while pairing. Keep other Bluetooth devices at least 50 ft. away or turn them off. Note: The headset can be paired with up to 3 different devices.

1. Turn headset off (panel 5).

2. Hold down the headset’s MFB until the red and blue lights flash and you hear 2 rising tones, followed by 4 more tones.

Important: Wait for all tones and for both lights to flash. This may take up to 15 sec. Release the MFB.

3. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for putting your cellular phone into Bluetooth discovery mode.

4. Wait 5-15 sec. while the devices discover each other.

When the phone discovers the headset, select “Pair” and enter a passcode of 0000 when instructed. When pairing is complete the headset’s blue light will stop flashing and the phone will prompt you to ‘connect’ to the headset.

Enter “Yes” on the phone to connect to the headset. When connected, the blue light will flash indicating that the headset is in standby mode ready to receive a call.

Note: Do not attach the charger mid-call. This causes the headset to turn off (call will not be lost).

When the headset is operating from the battery, all indicator lights and sounds will function as described in this guide.

When the headset is operating from the charger/adapter, the headset, including the audio indicators will function as described in this user guide. However the MFB lights will indicate the battery charge status (see Panel 3).

After the battery is fully charged, the MFB charge light will turn and stay green as long as the charger/adapter is connected to the headset. While the headset is fully charged and the charge light is green, the blue indicator light will also be on if the headset is powered on.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

TURN HEADSET INDICATOR LIGHTS OFF/ON

A quick press of both the volume up and volume down buttons at the same time will turn the headset indicator lights off or on. A tone will be heard and the indicator lights will turn off; repeat to turn the indicator lights on. Headset must be in standby mode or on a call to use this feature.

The default state of the indicator lights upon power up is on.

AUTOMATIC BLUETOOTH CONNECTION

When the headset is powered on, it will automatically attempt to connect to the last device it was paired with. If the headset was paired with multiple devices and the last connected device is not available (turned off, out of range, etc.), the headset will attempt to connect to the second to the last device it was connected to, etc. It is also possible to reconnect to the device with a quick press of the headset’s

MFB. A tone will be heard and the two devices should connect.

15

MULTIPLE DEVICE PAIRING

The B250-XT can pair with up to three devices at the same time; however, only one device may be connected to the headset at a time. To pair the headset with a Bluetooth cell phone or other Bluetooth device such as a Bluetooth enabled computer, follow the instructions in panel 6 and

10 of this manual. Remember that all devices except for the one being paired must either be powered off or at least

50 ft. away during the pairing process.

Once all devices are paired, connection to the last paired device can be made by turning the headset off and then on again, or with a quick press of the MFB. The headset will connect to the devices in opposite order of pairing.

For instance, if device A, B and C were paired in that order, connection will be established to C first. If C is not available (turned off, out of range), the headset will connect to B, etc.

16

RESET PAIRED DEVICES LIST

To reset the headset’s internal paired devices list, press and hold both the volume up and the volume down buttons for

5-6 seconds.

A double beep with be heard and the list will be reset.

This procedure may be necessary if the headset will not pair or connect to a device.

NOTE: Pairing information for devices previously paired with the headset will be lost. Headset will need to be paired to the device after reset has occurred.

SPECIFICATIONS

Range: Up to 66 feet. Best range is achieved with line-ofsight positioning of headset and cell phone.

Certain conditions and obstructions, such as wireless devices, placing your phone on a metal surface (such as your vehicle’s hood), walls, etc., can inhibit radio wave transmission and reduce range.

Talk Time: 16+ hours on a 12 hour charge.

Standby Time: Up to 150 hours on a 12 hour charge.

Auto (DC) Charger Inline Fuse Replacement:

If neither of the headset charging indicators light when the auto adapter is connected to the headset and power source, check the charger’s inline fuse. Replace with 1A 250V Slow-Blow glass fuse (3AG) if necessary. Fuses are available at most automotive stores. To replace, simply unscrew the tip of the auto adapter (see photo, right) and remove the fuse (be careful not to lose the spring that is inside). Put new fuse in and screw the tip back on.
