What Is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth wireless technology provides a way for devices, like headsets
and phones, to communicate with each other without wires. Pairing is
the set-up process of introducing your headset to your phone.
Before using your headset for the first time, you must pair it with
your Bluetooth-enabled phone.
Plantronics QuickPair™ Technology
To simplify the Bluetooth setup process, your new headset uses
Plantronics QuickPair technology. This process is shown on the next page.
• The first time you turn your headset on, your headset
automatically enters pairing mode for 10 minutes.
•
Until you successfully pair your headset with a Bluetooth-
enabled phone, every time you turn it on it will enter pairing mode.
• To later pair to a new phone, turn on the headset, then press
and hold the Call Control button until red then blue flashing
appears, which indicates pairing mode status.
Range (the distance between headset and phone)
• To maintain the connection, keep your headset within 33 feet
of your phone.
• For the least amount of interference place the headset and
phone on the same side of your body.
If you move too far from your phone and lose the Bluetooth connection:
•
the headset may reconnect automatically within 60 seconds when
you move closer to your phone (you will hear a low tone), OR
• you may have to tap the Call Control button to reconnect (you
will hear a low tone), OR
• if neither of the above options work, you may have to
reconnect to your headset using your phone’s Bluetooth menu.

How to Pair Your Phone With Your Headset for the First Time
1 Turn on the Bluetooth feature on your phone.
For most phones, select Settings/Tools > Connections >
Bluetooth > On. See your phone’s user guide for more information.
2 Turn the headset on.
Turn on your headset by sliding the Power Switch toward the
microphone. Wait until the indicator light flashes red then blue.
If you don’t see the red then blue flashes, turn the headset off, then
turn it on again. Press and hold the Call Control button until you see
the red then blue flashes that indicate pairing mode status.
3 Set your Bluetooth phone to ‘discover’ to locate the headset.
This usually involves going to ‘setup’, ‘connect’ or ‘Bluetooth’ menu
on your phone and selecting the option to ‘discover’ or ‘add a
device’.
4 Once available headsets are listed, select your headset (for
example 2XXPlantronics or 3XXPlantronics). If prompted for a
passkey, enter 0000.
When pairing is successful, the indicator on your headset flashes
blue. Your phone will also confirm when pairing is complete.
