Frequently Asked Questions - BLUETOOTH-HEADSET MONO BHM1500 SAMSUNG

Does the headset work with laptops, PCs and PDAs?

Yes, your headset works with devices that support the Headset Profile or Hands-Free Profile and Bluetooth version 2.1 or higher. Check your device's specifications for compatibility.

Why do I hear static or interference during calls?

Interference can be caused by other wireless devices such as cordless phones or Wi-Fi networks. To reduce static, move the headset away from these devices or go to a less crowded area.

Can the headset cause interference with a car's electrical system, radio, or computer?

No, the headset produces signals compliant with the international Bluetooth standard and emits much less interference than a typical mobile phone. You can safely use it near these devices.

Can other Bluetooth phone users hear my conversation?

No, because pairing creates a unique and encrypted link between your headset and phone. Bluetooth signal strength is very low, making eavesdropping extremely difficult.

Why do I hear an echo during calls?

Echo may be due to high volume or a reverberant environment. Try lowering the volume of the headset or moving to a quieter place.

How do I clean my headset?

Use a soft, clean, dry cloth. Do not use chemicals or water, as this could damage the device.

The headset does not charge fully. What should I do?

Check that the charger is properly connected to the headset and the power outlet. Unplug and replug the charger. If the problem persists, use a Samsung approved charger and contact customer service.

How do I pair the headset with my phone?

Turn on the headset, then press and hold the call button until the blue indicator stays on (pairing mode). Enable Bluetooth on your phone, search for devices, and select 'HM1500'. Enter the PIN 0000 if prompted.

How do I activate vibrate mode?

Press and hold the call button and the Volume Up button simultaneously until the indicator flashes. To deactivate, press and hold the call button and the Volume Down button.

What should I do if the headset does not automatically connect to my phone?
