Operation
Refer to the “Important Information for Safe Use” section above for important safety
information before use.
Charging Before First Use
The Headset will not be fully charged when it is unpacked. It is recommended to
place it on charge for five hours before first use; the charging section describes how
to do this.
Wearing the Headset
• The Headset can be worn on either ear, by changing the orientation of the ear hook.
• To remove the ear hook, carefully lever it from the back of the Headset by hand.
• The ear hook can be replaced either way up. Note the indentation in the center to
properly orient the ear hook on the Headset.
• With the user controls facing the user and the LED at the top, the closed loop of the
ear hook should “point” right for operation on the right ear, and left for the left ear.
• To place on the ear, hold the Headset in the hand and push the open end of the
hook slightly away from the Headset body.

• Slide the open end of the ear hook onto the ear from the front. It will tend to lock in
position with a slight twisting motion.
• The ear hook is malleable for further slight adjustment.
Switching On
1. Press the main button until a short tone is heard in the earpiece.
2. Release the button. The Headset will generate the switch-on melody in the earpiece.
3. The LED will flash the signal to indicate the Headset is now in STANDBY mode ready
to be paired, or if already paired, ready to make or receive a call.
Switching Off
1. Press the main button until a short tone is heard in the earpiece.
2. Release the button. The Headset will generate the switch-off melody.
3. The LED will stop flashing.

Preparing the Headset for Use—Pairing
PIN Code: The PIN code for the Headset is preset to 1234. It will be needed for pairing.
Before the Headset can communicate, it must be paired to the companion device it will
be used with, such as a mobile phone. This is to ensure the Headset only communicates
with the device chosen by the user and not any other Bluetooth devices in range.
Pairing information is stored by the Headset and can be changed at any time.
The exact process to pair the Headset will also depend on the device it is paired with.
The user manual for that device will give instructions on how to do this. In all cases,
the Headset will need to be put into PAIRING mode, which is described here:
1. If the Headset is on, switch it off.
2. Press and hold the main button.
3. When the short tone is heard, keep the button pressed until the pairing melody
is generated.

Operation (continued)
4. The LED will alternately flash red/green.
5. Follow instructions for the companion device to pair to the Headset.
6. When prompted on the companion device, enter the PIN code for the Headset.
7. When paired, the Headset will give a short confirmation tone and switch to STANDBY,
ready for operation.
Receiving and Ending a Call
• To receive a call, the Headset must be in STANDBY mode.
• When a call is received, the Headset will generate a ringing signal in the earpiece.
• The call may be answered by a short press of the main button.
• The connection will be made to the companion device, and in the case of a mobile
phone, the call will be answered.
• During a call, when in TALK mode, the microphone may be muted and un-muted by a
medium press of the main button.
• A short press of the main button will end a call.
• If the Headset is muted, it is necessary to un-mute with a medium button press
before ending the call. This avoids accidentally ending a call when trying to un-mute.

Operation (continued)
Initiating a Call
• When in STANDBY mode, a short press will initiate a connection to the
companion device.
• For example, this could be used to initiate a call with a mobile phone.
• During a call, when in TALK mode, the microphone may be muted and un-muted
by a medium press of the main button.
• A short press of the main button will end a call.
• If the Headset is muted, it is necessary to un-mute with a medium button press
before ending the call. This avoids accidentally ending a call when trying to un-mute.
Operation—In and Out of Range
The Headset is designed for use within a few meters of the companion device, typically
a range of up to 10 meters can be expected. When approaching the limit of usable
range, short breaks may be heard in the audio.
If the Headset moves out of range during a call, the connection will be terminated and
the Headset will return to STANDBY mode.

Operation (continued)
Battery Status
The LED will flash in TALK, muted, and STANDBY mode. When the battery has adequate
charge, this will be with a green color, changing to red when the battery is low.
Charging
The Headset is supplied with a charger to recharge the internal battery. Do not attempt
to use any other charger and refer to the “Important Information for Safe Use” section
above for important safety information.
• To charge, plug the charger into an available AC supply socket and plug the small
connector on the charging lead into the matching socket near the microphone.
• The Headset is normally charged in OFF or STANDBY modes. Charging is not active in
TALK mode.
• With the Headset turned OFF, the LED will show a steady red indication until the
Headset is charged.
• If the Headset is in any other mode when connected to the charger, the LED flashing
sequence does not change, but the LED color will indicate the charge status.

Operation (continued)
• Sometimes, when the Headset is placed on charge with the LED still showing a green
color, the LED color may change initially from green to red. This is normal and
indicates the Headset is not yet fully charged immediately after connecting the
charger.
• The charge time is approximately five hours from discharged to fully charged.
Troubleshooting—Product Reset
• If the Headset stops operating, first ensure it is charged by charging it for
five hours.
• If the Headset remains non-functional, it may be reset by the following method:
Press and hold the volume-down button, and at the same time, plug in the charger
as though to place the unit on charge.
• The Headset will reset itself and be left in OFF mode.
