Please Note:

• The Headset will not function while charging.

• If the Indicator Light [2] remains off when charging, the battery is already fully charged and does not require further charging.

• When your battery is flat, it takes up to four hours to completely charge your headset

2. Pairing the Headset

Auto-pairing

For added convenience, your headset has an auto-pairing function so that when you turn the headset on for the first time, it is already in pairing mode (you will also hear a series of high tones). Then, follow these steps:

1. Put the mobile phone into pairing mode (see the instructions which came with your phone). Ensure that the mobile phone is no more than 1 metre away from the headset.

2 Enter the PIN number: 1111.

If pairing is successful, the Indicator Light [2] will begin flashing every 3 seconds.

Normal pairing

You will need to follow the steps below if you want to pair your Headset with another mobile phone.

1. Ensure the Headset is off

2. Press and hold the On/Off Button [3] for about 5 seconds until the Indicator Light [2] flashes red and green alternatively

(you will also hear a series of high tones)

Then complete normal pairing process by following point 1 and 2 of the auto-pairing section above.

Pairing with more than one device

You will be able to pair your Headset with up to 3 devices. If the Headset is paired with more than one device, it will connect to the last connected device. Should you desire to connect it to another paired device, then initiate connection from the device. If you pair with more than 3 devices, you will lose pairing with the first device that you paired your Headset to.

3. Wearing and carrying the Headset

You can wear your Headset on either ear and carry it in different ways using the rotating Multi-function Arm [8] .

Wearing the Headset without the Ear Hook

You can wear the Headset without using the Ear Hook. To do so:

1. Rotate the Multi-function Arm [8] downwards, until it stays in your ear like a wired headset cable extension

2. Gently place the Speaker [6] into your ear canal

3. Finally find the most comfortable position by rotating the Headset forward and backward

Wearing the Headset with the Ear Hook

The Ear Hook may also be used for maximum comfort. To mount the ear hook, rotate the Multi-function Arm [8] upwards and slide it inside the Ear Hook [9] jack. To place it on your ear follow these steps:

1. Rotate the Ear Hook [9] slightly forwards

2. Gently place the Speaker [6] slightly into your ear canal

3. Rotate the Ear Hook [9] backwards and adjust it behind your ear

4. To switch from one ear to the other, simply rotate the Multi-function Arm [8] downwards and rotate the Ear Hook [9] to the opposite side

Clipping your Headset to your clothes

The Multi-function Arm can also be used to carry your Headset in several convenient ways (Ear Hook not mounted). To clip it to your clothes do the following

1. Rotate the Multi-function Arm [8] to the same direction of the microphone [7]

2. Use the Multi-function Arm [8] and Headset Body as a clip to attach the Headset to your clothes

Using your Headset Cord to carry your Headset

The Headset Cord [10] can also be used to carry your Headset (Ear Hook not mounted). To attach your Headset to the

Disconnecting from the phone *

You may wish to disconnect the Headset from the phone in order to reduce battery consumption. To do so, press the

Battery life

To conserve battery life, your Headset features an auto-sleep function. This function switches the Headset off after 4 hours of inaction. Once your Headset has entered auto-sleep, it can be switched on again normally.

When the battery has only 10% charge remaining, the Headset will produce an audible warning tone sequence every time a call is ended. Also the Indicator Light [2] will start flashing red.

Resetting your Headset

Should your Headset stop responding, try charging it for a few seconds. Your Headset should now function again as normal.

Your Headset can be configured with a specific Push4 TM call function. With the Headset on, press and hold the Push4 TM

Button [2] for 1 second to call directly to the configured number or phone service.

In some cases, you can use this function as your favourite number. To do so, you will first need to save your favourite number on the Headset. This can only be done when you have received a call (A) from this same number into your

Headset (not made through a hidden call). Once this received call has ended (B) , press and hold both On/Off [3]and

Push4 TM [2] buttons for 3 seconds, until you hear a series of tones. The number from the last received call will be stored.

Now you can make a direct call to this number at any time just by pressing and holding the Push4 TM Button [2] for 1 second.

If you wish to have all of your calls accepted automatically (without any button presses), you can enable the automatic call pick up mode. To activate this mode, press the Push4 TM Button 5 times on the Headset when it is not in an active call. When you receive an incoming call, your headset will automatically answer the call after 2 seconds. To turn off the automatic call pick up, just follow the same steps.

Selecting Ring Tones
