MULTIPLE DEVICE PAIRING

The BlueParrott Xpressway II can pair with up to 8 devices at the same time; however, only one device may be connected to the headset at a time,

unless the headset is in Multipoint Mode

(see page 14). To pair the headset with a Bluetooth cell phone or other Bluetooth device, such as a

Bluetooth enabled computer, follow the instructions on pages 11 and 12 of this manual. Remember that all devices except for the ones being paired must either be powered off or at least 50 feet 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 reverse 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.

OPERATION WHILE USING THE CHARGER / ADAPTER

The Xpressway II headset will operate from battery power or from the AC or DC charger/adapter.

NOTE: Do not attach the charger mid-call. This will cause the headset to reset, and the call will be sent back to the phone.

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