Setting up the FLX 70

Charging the battery in the headset

If you charge the battery for the first time, allow charging for at least 3 hours without interruption. Later, 212 hours suffice to fully charge the battery. The headset cannot be used during the charging process.

To charge the battery in the headset:

Take off the headset and switch it off (see page 12).
Connect the USB charging cable to the socket for power supply ③.
Connect the USB plug of the USB charging cable to:

• either the USB socket of the FLX 70 power supply
• or a USB socket of a computer
• or the USB socket of the FLX 70 car charger unit (available as an accessory)

Connect either the power supply or the car charger unit to the appropriate power outlet.

If the battery was completely drained, the LED ⑧ flashes red in the beginning of the charging process. During charging, the LED ⑧ lights up red. When charging is complete, the LED ⑧ lights up blue.

The charging process cannot be started during an ongoing call. A fully charged battery provides a talk time of up to six hours or a standby time of up to 240 hours. When the battery is about to run flat:

The LED 8 flashes red.
- Three beeps are heard in the speaker 3 times with an interval of 15 seconds and thereafter with an interval of 2 minutes.
Less than 10 minutes of talk time are left.

Switching the headset on/off

Press the hook button 7 for more than 3 sec. until the LED 8 lights up blue.

The headset is switched on and in one of the following modes:

• If the headset is already paired to a mobile phone, the headset is ready to use.
• If the headset is not yet paired to a mobile phone, pair it as described under "Pairing the headset to mobile phones or other Bluetooth devices" on page 13.
• If the headset is already paired to a mobile phone and if there is an incoming call on your mobile phone, the call is answered immediately by pressing the hook button ⑦ once.

To switch off the headset:

Press the hook button ⑦ for more than 3 sec. until the LED ⑧ flashes red and then turns off.

All settings are saved. The battery lasts longer, if you switch off the headset when you are not using it.

Pairing the headset to mobile phones or other Bluetooth devices

Pairing to a mobile phone

To be able to use the headset, you must first pair it to your mobile phone or a similar device with a Bluetooth hands-free or headset profile. Once you have paired the headset to a mobile phone, the headset is connected automatically each time this mobile phone and the headset detect each other.

Make sure the headset is switched on and placed close to your mobile phone.

• If you have not yet paired the headset to a mobile phone, the headset enters the pairing mode automatically.

If you have already paired the headset to another mobile phone before, you have to enter the pairing mode manually by first switching off the headset and then switching it on again and keeping the hook button 7 pressed for 6 seconds.

• As soon as the headset is in the pairing mode, the LED ③ flashes alternatingly in red and blue.

On your mobile phone, start a search for Bluetooth devices (see the manual of your mobile phone) and follow any instructions displayed on your mobile phone display.
- Once the headset is detected by your mobile phone, select "FLX 70". When the Bluetooth connection is successfully established, the headset is identified as "FLX 70" in the mobile phone's display.

When your mobile phone prompts for a keyword, enter four zeros (0000).

If pairing was successful, the LED 8 stops flashing.

Once paired, your mobile phone will be able to transfer the call audio to the headset – either automatically or manually

(please see your mobile phone's manual whether the call audio is transferred automatically or manually). Most mobile phones show a headset symbol in their display, if successfully paired.

Pairing to other Bluetooth devices

If you wish to pair the headset to other Bluetooth devices, please see the Bluetooth device's manual.

Pairing to several mobile phones

If you wish to pair the headset to a second mobile phone, you first have to disconnect from the first mobile phone (see the manual of the first mobile phone). The headset saves up to four pairing profiles. As soon as the headset is switched on it tries to connect to the mobile phone that it was last connected to. If this mobile phone is not detected by the headset, you can manually connect it with one of the other three mobile phones (see the manual of the respective mobile phone).

Wearing the headset
