BASIC OPERATIONS

See page 6 for location of button controls.

Standby Mode / Talk Time

The headset is automatically in Standby Mode when you remove it from the charger,
therefore, a single press of the multifunction button will put the headset into Talk
Time mode (you will hear a single beep). The yellow indicator light on the headset
will flash slowly, every 4-5 seconds. If the yellow light is not flashing, turn the head-
set on (instructions below). Since standby time is extensive (up to 100 hours on a full
charge) it is usually not necessary to turn off the headset to conserve battery power.
However, if you wish to turn the headset off and on, follow the steps below.

When the headset is in Talk Time mode, the yellow light on the headset will flash
faster, about once every second. To conserve Talk Time, put the headset back into
Standby Mode after a call by pressing the multifunction button for 1 second (you will hear
a single beep). The yellow flashing light will slow to once every 4-5 seconds. It may
take a few seconds for the light to change speeds.

Turning the Headset Off and On

• Off – Press and hold the multifunction button on the headset for about 3 seconds
until you hear 3 beeps that descend in tone (hold it up to your ear). The yellow light on
the headset will stop flashing. The headset is now off.
• On – Press and hold the multifunction button on the headset for about 3 seconds
until you hear 3 beeps that ascend in tone (hold it up to your ear). The yellow light on
the headset will flash every 4-5 seconds. The headset is now on and in Standby Mode.

Turning the Base Off and On

Press and hold the Pair button on the base until the yellow light flashes briefly and then
goes out. The base is now off. Press and hold the button again to turn the base on.
