Charge the Battery  
Before using your headset, charge the battery until the red LED turns off (about 2 hours).  
Charging the battery completely (and keeping it charged) will help you get the longest possible  
talk and standby time out of the battery.  
Connect the adapter to the power connector on the side of the headset, then plug it into any  
standard 120 V AC (regular indoor) power outlet.  
 
 
When the battery needs to be recharged, you will hear warning beeps every ꢀ0 seconds and see  
the red LED (depending on your headset status).  
NOTE: Use ONLY the AC adapter supplied with the headset. Using any other adapter could  
damage your headset, create a fire hazard, or cause a risk of electric shock!  
pair the Headset to Your Bluetooth phone  
Pairing is like “introducing”two Bluetooth devices and giving them permission to connect  
to each other. If you want to use the headset with more than one phone, you need to pair  
it with each phone separately. Once you pair a phone to the headset, the two devices can  
connect automatically whenever they can detect each other.  
NOTE: The headset automatically goes into pairing mode when it is used for the first time.  
1) Make sure the headset is powered on and the power adapter is not connected (you can’t use the  
headset while it’s charging).  
2) Press and hold MFBuntil the LED flashes alternating red and blue (approximately ꢂ seconds),  
then release. The headset is in pairing mode and should be visible to other Bluetooth devices.  
ꢀ) On your phone, start a search for Bluetooth headsets or handsfree devices. (This process may  
take several seconds, and it will be different for each phone; see your phone’s manual for  
detailed instructions.)  
 
 
ꢁ) Your phone should discover a device called a BT230 or BT230 headset, When your phone asks if  
you want to pair with this device, select yes.  
5) When your phone prompts you for a PIN code or password to pair with the BT2ꢀ0, enter 0000.  
NOTE: If your phone supports Bluetooth 2.1, you do not need to enter a password.  
ꢂ) When the headset is paired, the blue LED flashes twice every 5 seconds; your phone might also  
display a confirmation message.  
NOTE: If the blue LED flashes once every 5 seconds, the headset is not paired. Try the  
pairing procedure again.  
Connect to Your phone  
Most phones connect to the headset as soon as you pair it; if yours won’t, turn the headset  
off and back on. If the headset still won’t connect, check your phone’s owner’s manual for  
additional Bluetooth information.  
once the Headset is paired  
Whenever you turn the headset on, it will automatically try to connect to whatever device it was  
connected to last.  
 
 
If the headset loses the connection for more than ꢀ0 seconds (e.g., if your phone is out of range),  
it goes into idle mode. To manually reconnect, press MFB once. If the headset comes back in  
range in less than ꢀ0 seconds, it will automatically reconnect without pressing MFB.

cushion.

each one. (This feature may not be compatible with some mobile phones.)  
pairing to More than one phone  
Pair the headset to the first phone following the instructions on page ꢃ. When you set the  
headset in pairing mode and hear a high-pitched, short double-beep, pair the headset to  
the second phone.  
Using Both phones  
The headset stays connected to both phones until a call comes in. If you answer the call, the  
headset automatically disconnects from the other phone while the call is active. When you hang  
up, the headset automatically reconnects to the other phone.

General InformatIon  
• You cannot use the headset while it is recharging.  
• Bluetooth wireless devices have a maximum range of ꢀ0 feet (10 m); the actual range varies depending on  
current conditions (obstacles, battery power, interference, etc.).  
1ꢁ  
 
 
• The headset can be connected only to devices that support the Bluetooth headset or hands-free profile. It is  
not compatible with standard cordless phones.  
Battery liFe  
• With average use, the battery should provide about ꢂ hours of talk time and ꢃ days of standby time. If a  
battery is new or left unused for a long time, it can have reduced capacity the first few times you use it. For  
maximum battery life, keep the battery charged.  
• When the battery only has enough charge for about 15 minutes of talk time, the headset triggers a low  
battery alert: you’ll hear a periodic beep, and the LED changes from blue to red.  
• When the battery no longer has enough charge to operate the headset, the headset will power off; you won’t  
be able to turn it back on until you charge the battery.  
NoiSeorStaticoN tHeHeadSet  
The most common cause of noise or static on any wireless device is interference. Bluetooth devices operate in  
the ISM band (2.ꢁ02 GHz ~ 2.ꢁꢄ0 GHz); any equipment operating in this frequency range might interfere with  
the headset. Some common sources of interference in this range are  
• Equipment that uses microwaves, especially microwave ovens  
• Wireless LAN equipment or WiFi connections  
• Other Bluetooth devices or computers  
• Certain cordless telephones  
• Certain medical equipment and appliances  
If you have problems with static during calls, look for one of these interference sources. Try moving away from  
the suspected source.  
15  
 
If the noise continues, there may be interference  
on your phone itself, and any noise in the phone’s  
connection will come through on the headset, too.  
Transfer the call to your phone and see if the audio  
quality improves. If it doesn’t, look around for things  
that can interfere with your phone.  
• Set the volume at the minimum level needed to  
hear in the current environment. If possible, use  
your headset in quiet surroundings or try to move to  
an area with less background noise before adjusting  
the volume.  
• Start with the volume at its lowest setting, then  
gradually increase it until you can hear.  
• Turn the volume down before powering off the  
headset and readjust the volume each time you  
turn it on.  
Safety and HandlInG  
InformatIon  
For maximum product life, do not drop, throw, or  
crush the headset. Do not expose it to humidity, dust,  
or temperatures above 125 F.  
• If someone next to you can hear the other end of the  
call through your headset or if your ears hurt or ring  
when you hang up, the volume is too high.  
• The longer your ears are exposed to noise, the  
greater the risk of damage. Limit calls at higher  
volumes (or other exposure to loud noise).  
• For more information on protecting your hearing,  
visit the WISE EARS® website (www.nidcd.nih.  
gov/health/wise/) or consult an audiologist.
