1. Introduction

You can use the Nokia Bluetooth Headset BH-500 to listen to music

with your compatible music player and make and answer calls with

your compatible mobile phone. The music player can be the music

player feature of your phone or a separate music playing device.

maintenance information, and the user guide for your music playing

device. Keep the headset out of reach of small children.

This headset is compliant with Bluetooth Specification 2.0 supporting the

following profiles: Headset Profile 1.1, Handsfree Profile 1.5, Advanced

Audio Distribution Profile 1.0, and Audio Video Remote Control Profile

compatibility with this device.

Check the model number of any charger before use with this device.

The headset is intended for use with the AC-3, AC-4, and DC-4 chargers.

However, the times may vary when used with different mobile phones
