Important safety instructions

1 Read these instructions.

2 Keep these instructions.

3 Heed all warnings.

4 Follow all instructions.

5 Do not expose the headset to water.

6 Clean only with a dry cloth.

7 Do not plug in the wall charger near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other chargers that produce heat.

8 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

9 Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the charger.

10 Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

11 Unplug this charger during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

12 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

13 To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the charger to rain, moisture, dripping, or splashing.

14 An apparatus with a three-prong, grounding-type plug is a Class I apparatus, which needs to be grounded to prevent possible electric shock. Make sure that you connect this Class I device to a grounding-type, three-prong outlet.

15 In order to charge your headset correctly, the wall outlet must be in correct working condition.

16 Batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat.

Caution: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.

Warning: If the volume is set too high, excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss.

Pairing is the process of linking the headset with a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone. After you pair the headset with a phone, you can only use the headset with the paired phone. If you want to use the headset with a different phone, you must repeat the pairing process with the new phone. The headset can be paired with up to eight compatible phones, but it can be connected to only one phone at a time.

Reconnecting the headset to the phone
