SAFETY INFORMATION
WHAT’S IN THE BOX
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: Prolonged exposure to high volume levels can damage your hearing. To avoid
injury, set the volume to the lowest comfortable level. If you experience ringing in your ears, or voices sound
muffled, stop using the headset. Avoid turning up the volume to block noisy surroundings. It’s possible for
your ears to adapt to volume that is too high, and this could result in permanent hearing damage without
any noticeable discomfort.
• Check with local and state laws regarding cell phone/headset usage while operating a motor vehicle.
• Do not immerse any part of this product in water.
• Plastic bags and small parts may cause choking if ingested. Keep them away from small children and pets.
• Use only the power cords included with this product.
• Avoid temperatures exceeding 140° F (will cause equipment failure).

HOW TO WEAR
Adjusting the Earpieces
Adjust the earpieces for a comfortable fit by lengthening or
shortening the headband.
Positioning the Microphone
Rotate the microphone down when you need to use it. Align the tip
of the boom with the corner of your mouth for best performance.
CHARGING THE HEADSET
Battery Power Indicators
While charging, the indicator light shows the
charge status of your S450-XT.
Blue light: Fully charged with 24 hours’
wireless talk/media time.
Red light: Charging.
Indicator Light
Location
Connect the USB charger cord into the S450-XT’s USB charging port. If the headset is not fully charged,
the indicator will turn red. When the indicator turns blue, and stays blue, S450-XT is fully charged. A fully
discharged battery will need approximately 4 hours to achieve a complete charge.

CHARGING THE HEADSET (continued)
Operation While Using the Charger/Adapter
Your S450-XT headset can be operated while charging.
If you connect the S450-XT to a charger while it is connected via Bluetooth, the headset will reset and shut off.
To turn it back on, slide the switch to the “off” position (if not already done) and then back to the “on” position.
This will re-activate the Bluetooth and S450-XT should reconnect to your device.
If you connect the S450-XT to a USB port on your computer, it will function as a USB headset and Bluetooth
functionality will be disabled. The headset will continue to charge while in use.
Note: Do not attach the charger during a call. This will cause the headset to reset, and the call will be sent
back to the phone.
