SAFETY INFORMATION
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 60° C (140° F) (will cause equipment failure).

CHARGING THE HEADSET
Connect the USB charging cable into
the headset’s USB charging port.
If the headset is not fully charged,
the indicator will turn red. When
the indicator turns blue and stays
blue, the unit is fully charged. A
fully discharged battery will need
approximately 3.5 hours to achieve a
complete charge.
Battery Power Indicators
While charging, the MFB’s indicator
light shows the level of battery
power on your B450-XT as follows:
Blue light: Fully charged. Over 24
hours’ talk time.
Red light: Less than a full charge.

CHARGING THE HEADSET (continued)
Operation While Using the Charger/Adapter
The B450-XT headset will operate from battery power or from power supplied via the
USB cable.
NOTE: Do not attach the USB cable to a powered USB port 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.
When the headset is operating from power supplied via the USB cable, the headset—
including the audio indicators—will function as described in this user guide. However,
the MFB lights will indicate the battery charge status.
While the headset is on the charger, press the MFB long enough to power the unit on.
The headset should reconnect automatically unless your phone is set to “always ask” for
connection requests.
After the battery is fully charged, the MFB charge light will turn blue and stay blue
as long as a powered USB cable is connected to the headset. While the headset is
fully charged and the charge light is blue, the blue indicator light will also be on if the
headset is powered on.

GETTING STARTED
On/Off/Standby
Turn Headset On: Hold down the MFB for approximately 2-3 seconds until you
hear a voice prompt,“power on.” The red light will flash once every second.
Turn Headset Off (conserves battery power): Hold down the MFB for
approximately 4–5 seconds until you hear a voice prompt “power off.” A red light
will flash 4 times and the headset will turn off.
Standby Mode: Once the headset is turned on (after the initial pairing), it will
attempt to connect to the last device that it was paired with, putting itself into
Standby Mode.
Pairing with a Phone
When you turn your B450-XT on for the first time,
or if its Paired Device List has been cleared, it will
go into pairing mode automatically. You can pair
the headset using NFC or manually.
NFC (One-Touch) Pairing
1. Make sure that NFC is enabled on your cell
phone.
2. Place the NFC zone of your cell phone against
the NFC zone of the headset and hold them
together until your cell phone registers the
headset.
3. Follow the prompts on your cell phone to
complete pairing.
Note: NFC and One-Touch Pairing are dependent
on your cell phone. The size and sensitivity of your
phone’s NFC zone and the specific way to connect
the headset may vary between devices.

If the B450-XT has already been paired with another device and you are not going to
use NFC Pairing, you will need to put it into Pairing Mode manually:

you hear the audio prompt “power on.” Keep holding the MFB for approximately 10
seconds until you hear “Pair Mode.”
The headset will be visible for pairing to devices for 120 seconds.
Pairing to a Cell Phone
1. Make sure that other Bluetooth devices are turned off or out of range.
2. Place the headset into pairing mode.
3. Put your cell phone in Bluetooth Search/Scan Mode per the manufacturer’s
instructions.
4. Select “BlueParrott B450-XT” to pair. (Passcode is “0000” if needed.)

connected.”
GETTING STARTED (continued)
Wearing and Adjusting the B450-XT
To get the best performance from our noise-canceling technology, position
the microphone near the corner of your mouth. Positioning is important; small
adjustments in microphone placement can improve
performance.
1. Place the headset on your head.
2. Position the speaker directly on your ear. You can slide the
headband in or out of the side support to find the best fit
for stability and comfort.
3. Position the microphone about one finger’s width away
from your face at the corner of your mouth. The boom will
rotate so you can position the microphone correctly with
the speaker on either ear.
