Before using the headset, you must

charge the battery and pair the

headset with a compatible device.

This device is intended for use when

supplied with power from the

following chargers: AC-3, AC-4, AC-

5, AC-8, DC-4 and DC-9. The exact

charger model number may vary

depending on the type of plug. The

Charge the battery

1. Connect the charger to a wall

outlet.

To charge the headset when it is

in the clip or car cradle, insert

the lower end of the headset into

the clip or car cradle (12), and

connect the charger cable to the

charger connector on the clip or

cradle (13).

The red indicator light is

displayed during charging.

Charging the battery fully may

take up to 2 hours.

3. When the battery is fully

charged, the green indicator

light is displayed. Disconnect the

charger from the headset (or

from the clip or car cradle), then

from the wall outlet.

The fully charged battery has power

for up to 5 hours of talk time. When

you keep the headset in the clip or

car cradle, the fully charged battery

has power for up to 3 months of

standby time. When you use the

headset without the clip or cradle,

the standby time is up to 100 hours.

To check the battery charge when

the headset is not connected to a

charger, press the multifunction key

when the headset is connected to a

mobile device. If the indicator light

is green, the charge level is

sufficient. If the light is yellow, you

may need to recharge the battery

soon. If the light is red, recharge the

battery.

When the battery charge is low, the

headset beeps every 5 minutes, the

red indicator light flashes, and if

voice prompts are activated, there is

an audible notification. If voice

prompts are activated, there is also

an audible notification when the

battery is completely discharged.

Switch the headset on

Remove the headset from the clip or

car cradle. If the headset is not in

the clip or cradle, press the

multifunction key. The headset

beeps, and the green indicator light

flashes slowly while the headset

tries to connect to the last or two

last connected devices.

When the headset is connected to

at least one device and is ready for

use, the blue indicator light flashes

slowly. If the headset has not been

paired with a device, it

automatically enters pairing mode.

Switch the headset off

Place the headset into the clip or car

cradle, or press and hold the

multifunction key for about 5

seconds. The headset beeps, and the

red indicator light is briefly

displayed.

If the headset is not connected to a

device within about 30 minutes, it

switches off automatically.

Pair and connect the headset

Before using the headset, you must

pair and connect it to a compatible

device.

You can pair the headset with up to

eight devices, but you can connect

it to a maximum of two devices at a

time.

To pair and connect the headset to a

device:

1. Make sure your mobile device is

switched on and the headset is

off.

2. If the headset has not been

previously paired with a device,

switch on the headset. The

headset enters pairing mode, and

the blue indicator light starts to

flash quickly.

If the headset has been

previously paired with a device,

make sure the headset is

switched off and not placed in

the clip or car cradle, and press

and hold the multifunction key

for about 5 seconds until the

blue indicator light starts to

flash quickly.

3. Within about 3 minutes, activate

Bluetooth on your device, and

set it to search for Bluetooth

devices. For details, see the user

guide of your mobile device.

4. Select the headset from the list

of found devices.

5. If necessary, enter the passcode

0000 to pair and connect the

headset to your device.

In some devices, you may need to

at least one device and is ready for

use, the blue indicator light flashes

To manually connect the headset to

the last used device, press and hold

the multifunction key for about 2

seconds (when no other device is

connected), or make the connection

in the Bluetooth menu of the device.

You may be able to set your device

so that the headset connects to it

automatically. To activate this

feature in a Nokia device, modify

the paired device settings in the

Bluetooth menu.

Basic use

Change the earpad

The headset may be provided with

different sized earpads. Select the

earpad that fits the best and is the

most comfortable for your ear.

To change the earpad, pull the

current earpad from the earpiece,

and push the new earpad into place

(7).

Place the headset on the ear

To use the headset with the earloop,

attach the earloop to it (11). To

detach the earloop, gently pull it

from the headset.

You can rotate the earpad to keep

the headset securely in the ear (8).

For example, if you use the headset

on the right ear, you may need to

rotate the earpad to the right for

the best fit. If you wear an earring,

make sure it is not accidentally

attached to the earpad.

To place the headset on the ear,

slide the earloop behind your ear (9),

and gently push the earpiece

against your ear. Point the headset

towards your mouth (10).

Store in the clip or car cradle

When you do not keep the headset

on your ear, store it in the clip or car

cradle. When the headset is in the

clip or cradle, it is switched off.

When you remove the headset from

the clip or cradle, the headset

automatically switches on.

To place the headset into the clip or

cradle, slide the headset into place

(14). To remove the headset, slide it

out.

Install the car cradle

When you install the cradle in a car,

make sure it does not interfere with

or hinder the steering or braking

systems or other systems used in the

operation of the vehicle (for

example, airbags) or disturb your

field of vision while driving. Check

that the deployment of the airbag is

not blocked or impaired in any way.

To install the car cradle, peel off the

protective sheet from the cradle,

and press the cradle against a flat

surface so that it stays firmly in

place. Do not install the cradle in a

place where you might come in

contact with it in the event of an

accident or collision.

Use the car cradle

When you use the headset with the

cradle in a car, obey all local laws.

Always keep your hands free to

operate the vehicle while driving.

Your first consideration while

driving should be road safety. Only

operate the headset or car cradle if

it is safe to do so under all driving

conditions.

Periodically check that the adhesive

at the bottom of the car cradle is

firmly attached, especially if the

ambient temperature changes a lot.

It is recommended that you do not

leave the car cradle inside the

vehicle in direct sunlight or in

excessive heat.

Adjust volume

The headset automatically adjusts

the volume according to ambient

noise. To manually adjust the

volume, use the volume controls of

the connected device.

The selected volume level is saved

for the device that is currently

connected to the headset.

Calls

To make a call, use your mobile

device in the normal way when the

headset is connected to it.

To redial the number you last called

(if your mobile device supports this

feature with the headset), when no

call is in progress, press the

multifunction key twice when the

headset is not in the clip or car

cradle.

To activate voice dialling (if your

mobile device supports this feature

with the headset), when no call is in

progress, press and hold the

multifunction key for about 2

seconds when the headset is not in

the clip or cradle. Proceed as

described in the user guide of the

mobile device.

To answer a call, remove the

headset from the clip or cradle. If

the headset is not in the clip or

cradle, press the multifunction key.

To reject a call, press the

multifunction key twice, or place

the headset into the clip or cradle.

To end a call, place the headset into

the clip or cradle, or press the

multifunction key when the headset

is not in the clip or cradle.

To switch a call between the

headset and a compatible

connected device, press and hold

the multifunction key for about 2

seconds.

Connect to two devices

The headset can be connected to

two devices at the same time.

Pair and connect to two devices

To pair the headset with two

devices, switch on the headset,

activate pairing mode, and pair it

with the first device. Switch off the

headset, activate pairing mode, and

pair it with the second device.

To connect the headset to the two

devices, switch the headset off and

back on.

Handle calls

If the headset can connect to two

devices at the same time and you

use redialling or voice dialling, the

call is made on the device that you

last used to make a call when the

headset was connected to it.

To answer a call on one connected

device and end the active call on the

other device, press the

multifunction key.
