General Information

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.

Battery life

With average use, the battery should provide about

6 hours of talk time and  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.

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.

Noise or Static on the Headset

The most common cause of noise or static on any

wireless device is interference. Bluetooth devices

operate in the ISM band (.0 GHz ~ .0 GHz);

any equipment operating in this frequency range

might interfere with the headset. Some common

sources of interference in this range are

Equipment that uses microwaves, especially

microwave ovens

Wireless LAN equipment or WiFi connections

Other Bluetooth devices or computers

Certain cordless telephones

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.
