Setting Up Your Headset  
Charge the battery  
Before using your headset, charge the battery until the red LED is solid on (about ꢀ hours).  
Charging the battery completely (and keeping it charged) will help you get the longest possible  
talk and standby time out of the battery.  
Connect the adapter to the power connector on the top of the headset, then plug it into any  
standard 1ꢀ0 V AC (regular indoor) power outlet.  
When the battery needs to be recharged, you will hear warning beeps every ꢀ0 seconds and see  
the red LED (depending on your headset status).  
Use ONLY the AC adapter supplied with the headset! Using any other adapter could  
damage your headset, create a fire hazard, or cause a risk of electric shock!  
pair the headset to your Bluetooth phone  
Pairing is like “introducing”two Bluetooth devices and giving them permission to connect  
to each other. If you want to use the headset with more than one phone, you need to pair  
it with each phone separately. Once you pair a phone to the headset, the two devices can  
connect automatically whenever they can detect each other.  
 
1) Make sure the headset is powered off and the power adapter is not connected (you can’t use the  
headset while it’s charging).  
MFB  
ꢀ) Press and hold  
until the LED flashes alternating red and blue (approximately 6 seconds),  
then release. The headset is in pairing mode and should be visible to other Bluetooth devices.  
ꢁ) On your phone, start a search for Bluetooth headsets or handsfree devices. (This process may  
take several seconds, and it will be different for each phone; see your phone’s manual for  
detailed instructions.)  
ꢂ) Your phone should discover a device called a BT229 or BT229 headset, When your phone asks if  
you want to pair with this device, answer yes.  
0000  
5) When your phone prompts you for a PIN code or password to pair with the BTꢀꢀ9 enter  
.
6) When the headset is paired, the blue LED flashes twice every 5 seconds; your phone might also  
display a confirmation message.  
If the blue LED flashes once every 5 seconds, the headset is  
not paired. Try the pairing procedure again.

Connect to your phone  
Most phones connect to the headset as soon as you pair it; if yours won’t, turn the headset  
off and back on. If headset still won’t connect, check your phone’s owner’s manual for  
additional Bluetooth information.  
Once the headset is paired:  
Whenever you turn the headset on, it will automatically try to connect to whatever device it was  
connected to last.  
If the headset loses the connection (e.g., if your phone is out of range), it should reconnect

Noise or Static on the Headset  
General Information  
The most common cause of noise or static on any  
wireless device is interference. Bluetooth devices  
operate in the ISM band (ꢀ.ꢂ0ꢀ GHz ~ ꢀ.ꢂꢄ0 GHz);  
any equipment operating in this frequency range  
might interfere with the headset. Some common  
sources of interference in this range are  
• You cannot use the headset while it is recharging.  
• Bluetooth wireless devices have a maximum range  
of ꢁ0 feet (10 m); the actual range varies depending  
on current conditions (obstacles, battery power,  
interference, etc.).  
• The headset can be connected only to devices  
that support the Bluetooth headset or hands-free  
profile. This product is not compatible with standard  
cordless phones.  
• Equipment that uses microwaves, especially  
microwave ovens  
• Wireless LAN equipment or WiFi connections  
• Other Bluetooth devices or computers  
Battery life  
• Certain cordless telephones  
• With average use, the battery should provide about  
6 hours of talk time and ꢃ days of standby time. If a  
battery is new or left unused for a long time, it can  
have reduced capacity the first few times you use it.  
For maximum battery life, keep the battery charged.  
• When the battery only has enough charge for about  
15 minutes of talk time, the headset triggers a low  
battery alert: you’ll hear a periodic beep, and the  
LED changes from blue to red.  
• Certain medical equipment and appliances  
If you have problems with static during calls, look for  
one of these interference sources. Try moving away  
from the suspected source.  
If the noise continues, there may be interference  
on your phone itself, and any noise in the phone’s  
connection will come through on the headset, too.  
Transfer the call to your phone and see if the audio  
quality improves. If it doesn’t, look around for things  
that can interfere with your phone.  
• When the battery no longer has enough charge to  
operate the headset, the headset will power off;  
you won’t be able to turn it back on until you charge  
the battery.  
 
• Turn the volume down before powering off the  
headset and readjust the volume each time you  
turn it on.  
Safety and Handling Information  
For maximum product life, do not drop, throw, or  
crush the headset. Do not expose it to humidity, dust,  
or temperatures above 1ꢀ5 F.  
• If someone next to you can hear the other end of the  
call through your headset or if your ears hurt or ring  
when you hang up, the volume is too high.  
• The longer your ears are exposed to noise, the  
greater the risk of damage. Limit calls at higher  
volumes (or other exposure to loud noise).  
• For more information on protecting your hearing,  
visit the WISE EARS® website (www.nidcd.nih.  
gov/health/wise/) or consult an audiologist.  
Cleaning the headset  
• If necessary, remove the earhook. Dampen a lint-  
free cloth with water or a cleaner specially designed  
for electronics, and gently wipe the headset clean.  
• Do not expose this product to liquid (water, alcohol,  
etc.) or submerse in liquid for any reason.
