SAFETY INFORMATION

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: Prolonged exposure to high volume levels can damage your hearing. To avoid injury, set the volume to the lowest comfortable level. If you experience ringing in your ears, or voices sound muffled, stop using the headset. Avoid turning up the volume to block noisy surroundings. It's possible for your ears to adapt to volume that is too high, and this could result in permanent hearing damage without any noticeable discomfort.

• Check with local and state laws regarding cell phone/headset usage while operating a motor vehicle.
• Do not immerse any part of this product in water.
• Plastic bags and small parts may cause choking if ingested. Keep them away from small children and pets.
• Use only the power cords included with this product.
• Avoid temperatures exceeding 140^ F (will cause equipment failure).

CHARGING THE HEADSET (continued)

Operation While Using the Charger/Adapter

The Point headset should be operated from battery power only. If you connect the headset to a charger while it is turned on, it will reset and shut off. To turn it back on again, first unplug the headset from the USB charging cord, slide the switch to the "off" position (if not already done), then back to the "on" position.

NOTE: Do not attach the charger mid-call. This will cause the headset to reset, and the call will be sent back to the phone.

GETTING STARTED

On/Off/Standby

Turn Headset On: Slide the switch down towards the boom to expose a green bar in the switch cavity. The LED will flash blue three times and you will hear a voice prompt, "Power on."

Turn Headset Off (conserves battery power): Slide the switch up towards the back of the headset to expose a red bar in the switch cavity. The LED will flash red four times and you will hear a voice prompt, "Power off."

Standby Mode: Once the headset is turned on (after the initial pairing), it will attempt to connect to the last device that it was paired with, putting itself into Standby Mode.

Pairing with a Phone

NFC (One-Touch) Pairing

1. Confirm that your cell phone is NFC-capable.
2. Make sure that NFC is enabled on your cell phone.
3. Turn the headset on.

4. Place the NFC zone of your cell phone against the NFC zone of the headset and hold together while your cell phone registers the headset.

5. Follow the prompts on your cell phone until it confirms pairing is successful.

Note: NFC and One-Touch Pairing are dependent on your cell phone. The size and sensitivity of your phone's NFC zone and how to connect the headset may vary between devices.

Manual Pairing

Placing Headset into Pairing Mode

When you turn the headset on for the first time, or if its pairing memory has been wiped clear, it will go into pairing mode automatically. If the headset has already been paired with another device, you will need to manually put it into pairing mode if you are not going to use NFC Pairing.

Power on the headset, then press and hold the MFB for approximately 6 seconds until you hear the audio prompt "Discovering." The headset will be visible for pairing to devices for 120 seconds.

Pairing to a Cell Phone

1. Make sure that other Bluetooth devices are turned off or out of range.
2. Place the headset into pairing mode.
3. Put your cell phone in Bluetooth Search/Scan Mode per the manufacturer's instructions.
4. Select "VXi Point" to pair. (Passcode is "0000" if needed.)
5. When connected, the headset will give you the voice prompt, "Your headset is connected" and the indicator light will flash blue.

GETTING STARTED (continued)

Wearing and Adjusting the Point

The headset is provided with the medium-loop ear bud already attached. If you need to change it, peel it off and replace with the ear bud of your choice.

Choose the ear bud and ear hook (if desired) that best fits your ear.

The headset can be worn on either ear, with or without the ear hook. The ear hooks are left and right specific and are marked with an "L" for left or "R" for right to show which side they are for.

To attach an ear hook, clip the "C" of the hook over the neck of the receiver.

GETTING STARTED (continued)

When wearing your Point, adjust the fit by rotating the ear bud so that the stabilizer loop (if applicable) presses against the back curve of your ear. Make sure that the boom is pointing towards the corner of your mouth.

To get the best performance from our noise-canceling technology, angle the microphone boom towards the corner of your mouth. Positioning is important; small adjustments in microphone placement can improve performance.
