1. Introduction

You can use the Nokia Bluetooth Headset BH-501 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.

Read this user guide carefully before using the headset. Read also the user guide

for your phone, which provides important safety and maintenance information,

and the user guide for your music playing device. Keep the headset out of reach of

small children.

■Bluetooth wireless technology

The headset can be connected to a compatible mobile phone or music player that

supports Bluetooth wireless technology. This technology makes it possible to

connect compatible communication devices without cables. In a Bluetooth

connection, the headset and the other device should be within 10 meters (30 feet)

of each other. Connections can be subject to interference from obstructions, such

as walls, or other electronic devices.

This headset is compliant with Bluetooth Specification 1.2 supporting the

following profiles: Headset Profile 1.1, Handsfree Profile 1.0, and Advanced Audio

Distribution Profile 1.0. Check with the manufacturers of other devices to

determine their compatibility with this device.

There may be restrictions on using Bluetooth technology in some locations. Check

with your local authorities or service provider.

2. Get started

The headset contains the following parts:

• Volume down key (1)

• Volume up key (2)

• Charger socket (3)

• Indicator light (4)

• Microphone (5)

• Multifunction key (6)

Before using the headset, you must charge the

battery and pair the headset with a compatible

phone. If your phone does not have a music player feature, you also need to pair

the headset with your music player.

Note: Parts of the headset are magnetic. Metallic materials may be attracted to

the headset. Do not place credit cards or other magnetic storage media near the

headset, because information stored on them may be erased.

■Chargers

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.

Warning: Use only chargers approved by Nokia for use with this particular

enhancement. The use of any other types may invalidate any approval or warranty,

and may be dangerous.

For availability of approved enhancements, please check with your dealer. When you

disconnect the power cord of any enhancement, grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.

■Charge the battery

This headset has an internal, nonremovable, rechargeable battery. Do not attempt

to remove the battery from the device as you may damage the headset.

1. Connect the charger to a wall outlet.

2. Connect the charger cable to the headset.

The indicator light is red during charging. If the

indicator light is not red, check the charger

connection. If charging does not start, disconnect

the charger, plug it in again, and retry.

Charging the battery fully may take up to 4 hours.

When the battery is fully charged, the indicator

light turns blue.

3. Disconnect the charger from the headset and wall outlet.

The fully charged battery has power for up to 11 hours of talk-time and music

playing time, and up to 150 hours of standby time. However, the times may vary

when used with different mobile phones or other compatible Bluetooth devices,

usage settings, usage styles, and environments.

When battery power is low, the headset beeps each minute, and the indicator

light flashes red. Recharge the battery.

■Switch the headset on or off

To switch on, press and hold the multifunction key until you hear a beep and the

indicator light starts to flash blue. To connect the headset to the paired phone or

music player that you have last used with it, press the multifunction key. For more

information, see Reconnect the headset, p. 11.

To switch off, press and hold the multifunction key until you hear a long beep.

■Pair the headset

Pair with a phone with music player feature

If your phone has a compatible music player feature, you can use the headset to

make and answer calls and listen to music from the phone.

1. Switch on your phone.

2. Ensure that the headset is off. If it is on, switch it off.

3. Press and hold the multifunction key until the indicator light alternately

flashes blue and red.

4. Activate the Bluetooth feature on the phone, and set the phone to search for

Bluetooth devices. See the user guide of your phone for instructions.

5. Select the headset (Nokia BH-501) from the list of found devices.

6. Your phone should ask for a Bluetooth passcode. Enter the passcode (0000) on

your phone. In some phones you may need to make the Bluetooth connection

separately after pairing. You only need to pair the headset with your phone

once.

If the pairing is successful and the headset is connected with your phone, the

indicator light of the headset flashes blue slowly.

Pair with a phone and a music player

If your phone does not have a compatible music player feature, you can separately

pair the headset with your phone and a compatible music player. After pairing and

connecting the headset with your phone, do as follows:

1. Switch off the headset.

2. Switch on the music player.

3. Press and hold the multifunction key until the indicator light alternately

flashes blue and red.

4. Follow the pairing instructions in the user guide for your music player. When

the music player asks for a device to pair, select Nokia BH-501 from the list. If

you are asked for a Bluetooth passcode, enter 0000 on the music player.

If your music player does not have a keypad, the device may use the Bluetooth

passcode 0000 by default. If this is not the case, see the user guide of your

music player to change the default Bluetooth passcode to 0000.

If the pairing is successful and the headset is connected with your music player,

the indicator light of the headset flashes blue slowly.
