Introduction

The Bluetooth™ handsfree HBH-20 is a portable handsfree solution based on Bluetooth wireless technology.

See "Guidelines for safe and efficient use" on page 11 and "Limited warranty" on page 13 before using your handsfree.

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.

When can I use my handsfree?

You can connect your HBH-20 handsfree to your mobile phone or PC - or any device with Bluetooth wireless technology that supports the Headset profile -

to keep your hands free for more important tasks when you are at the office or in the car. This user's guide focuses on how to use the handsfree with your mobile phone. When the handsfree 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 handsfree.

Preparing the handsfree

To be able to use the handsfree 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.

Overview

Note: Always handle the handsfree with care!

Radio frequency exposure

Your Bluetooth Handsfree 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 2500MHz . The output power of the radio transmitter is low, 0.001 watt.

Your Bluetooth Handsfree 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 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 you mobile phone or Bluetooth Handsfree 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 Handsfree 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 Handsfree OFF before boarding any aircraft. To prevent interference with communication systems, you must not use your Bluetooth Handsfree while the plane is in the air.

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

Ericsson recommends that the Bluetooth Handsfree 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.

Children

Do not allow children to play with your Bluetooth Handsfree since it contains small parts that could become detached and create a choking hazard.

Emergency calls

IMPORTANT!

This Bluetooth Handsfree 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 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.

Use only Ericsson original accessories. Using non-original Ericsson accessories could be dangerous and the warranty does not cover product failures which have been caused by use of non-Ericsson original accessories.

Do not expose the battery to extreme temperatures, never above +55^ (+131^) . 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^ (+50^) and +45^ (+113^) .
