Introduction The Bluetooth™ headset HBH-30 is a portable headset solution based on Bluetooth wireless technology. See “Guidelines for safe and efficient use” on page 13 and “Limited Warranty” on page 15 before using your headset. What is Bluetooth wireless technology? The Bluetooth wireless technology makes it possible to connect any compatible portable and stationary communications device without using cables. The technology is based on a radio link that offers fast and reliable transmission of voice and data information. It does not require a line-of-sight connection in order to establish communication. Bluetooth wireless technology uses a globally available frequency range intended to ensure communication compatibility worldwide.

How can I use my headset? You can connect your HBH-30 headset to your mobile phone or PC – or any device with Bluetooth wireless technology that supports the Headset profile. This user’s guide focuses on how to use the headset with your mobile phone. When the headset is connected to your mobile phone, you can use voice control to make calls (if your phone supports this function). The phone can be tucked away in your pocket or in a bag. You can handle incoming and outgoing calls, and adjust the volume, using the buttons on the headset. Preparing the headset Back To be able to use the headset together with a mobile phone, you need to have a phone with built-in Bluetooth capability, or a phone with a Bluetooth adapter connected to it.

To charge the battery

Charging The headset comes with a built-in rechargeable battery. The battery is not fully charged when you buy the headset. We recommend that you charge the battery until the headset indicator light turns green before using the headset for the first time. To remind you that you will soon need to recharge the battery, the headset indicator light flashes red when the headset is on. It takes 1 to 1.5 hours to fully recharge the battery. During charging, the indicator light shows a steady red light if the headset is turned off, and flashes red if the headset is on. When the battery is fully charged, the indicator shows a steady green light if the headset is off, or a flashing green light if the headset is on.

Troubleshooting Some headset functions do not work If you notice that you cannot make use of all the features in the HBH-30 headset, please check with an Sony Ericsson service partner. For information about support and for User’s Guides for Ericsson, Sony and Sony Ericsson mobile phones, see http://www.SonyEricsson.com.

• The battery is too low. The indicator light on the headset flashes red and you hear a low beep. Charge the headset battery for approximately 1 to

1.5 hours.

• The headset has been exposed to extreme temperatures. Let the headset rest for a while in room temperature, then turn it on again.

Radio frequency exposure Your Bluetooth headset is a radio transmitter and receiver. When in operation, it communicates with a Bluetooth equipped mobile device by receiving and transmitting radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields (microwaves) in the frequency range 2400 to 2500 MHz. The output power of the radio transmitter is low, 0.001 watt. Your Bluetooth headset is designed to operate in compliance with the RF exposure guidelines and limits set by national authorities and international health agencies when used with any compatible Sony Ericsson or Ericsson mobile phone. Driving Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile phones and hands free equipment in the areas where you drive. Always give full attention to driving and pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require. RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles such as car stereo, safety equipment etc. Check with your vehicle manufacturer's representative to be sure that your mobile phone or Bluetooth headset will not affect the electronic systems in your vehicle. Electronic equipment Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment is not, therefore: Do not use your Bluetooth headset near medical equipment without requesting permission. If you are using any personal medical devices, e.g. a pacemaker or a hearing aid, please read in your mobile phone's User's Guide for further information. Aircraft Turn your Bluetooth headset OFF before boarding any aircraft. To prevent interference with communication systems, you must not use your Bluetooth headset while the plane is in the air. Troubleshooting

Blasting areas Turn off all your electronic devices when in a blasting area or in areas posted turn off two-way radio to avoid interfering with blasting operations. Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives. Potentially explosive atmospheres Turn off your electronic device when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but your electronic device could generate sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. Power supply Connect the AC power adapter only to designated power sources as marked on the product. To reduce risk of damage to the electric cord, remove it from the outlet by holding onto the AC adapter rather than the cord. Make sure the cord is positioned so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to damage or stress. To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the unit from any power source before attempting to clean it. The AC power adapter must not be used outdoors or in damp areas. DANGER – Never alter the AC cord or plug. If the plug will not fit into the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper connection can result in risk of electric shock.

Placing Sony Ericsson recommends that the Bluetooth headset is worn in positions where it will not be subject to pressure since such pressure may result in bodily injury or damage to the product. Check with your vehicle manufacturer's representative to be sure that the car holder is placed in a safe location.

Troubleshooting Children Do not allow children to play with your Bluetooth headset since it contains small parts that could become detached and create a choking hazard. Emergency calls IMPORTANT! This Bluetooth headset and the electronic device connected to the hands free operate using radio signals, cellular and landline networks as well as user-programmed functions, which cannot guarantee connection under all conditions. Therefore you should never rely solely upon any electronic device for essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies). Remember, in order to make or receive calls, the hands free and the electronic device connected to the hands free must be switched on and in a service area with adequate cellular signal strength. Emergency calls may not be possible on all cellular phone networks or when certain network services and/or phone features are in use. Check with your local service provider. Battery information Please note that only Sony Ericsson service partners are able to remove or replace the battery in a proper way. A rechargeable battery has a long service life if treated properly. A new battery or one that has not been used for a long period of time could have reduced capacity the first few times it is used. Do not expose the battery to extreme temperatures, never above +55°C (+131°F). For maximum battery capacity, use the battery in room temperature. If the battery is used in low temperatures, the battery capacity will be reduced. The battery can only be charged in temperatures between +10°C (+50°F) and +45°C (+113°F).
