Charging Your Device

How to Charge Your Headset Using the AC Charger
Before using your headset for the first time, charge it for at least 20 minutes. A full charge takes approximately two hours.
Charging Your Device - Charging time

Connect the AC charger to a power outlet.
Plug the AC jack into the charging jack on the headset.

While your headset is charging, the indicator glows red. When your headset is fully charged, the indicator turns off. Do not use your headset while it is connected to the charger.

NOTE Never charge the battery where the temperature may fall below 0°C (32°F) or rise above 40°C (104°F) – for example, in an unattended motor vehicle. Do not charge the battery while it is unattended.

Pairing your Device

Pairing is the process of introducing your headset to your phone. Before using your headset for the first time, you must pair it with your Bluetooth phone. Normally, you need to pair your headset with your phone only once.

Plantronics QuickPair Technology

Your new headset includes Plantronics QuickPair technology to simplify the Bluetooth setup process. The first time you turn your headset on, your headset automatically enters pairing mode for 10 minutes (the indicator light flashes red and blue). Once paired successfully, your headset stays on for instant use.
If not successfully paired after 10 minutes, your headset automatically goes to standby mode. When you turn the headset off then on again, it automatically goes into pairing mode until successfully paired with a Bluetooth phone.

How to Pair Your Phone With Your Headset for the First Time

Turn on the Bluetooth feature on your phone.
For most phones, select Settings/Tools > Connections > Bluetooth > On. See your phone's user guide for more information.

Turn on your headset by sliding the power switch forward. Wait until the indicator light flashes blue and red.
If you don't see the red/blue flash, turn the headset off, wait, then turn it on again. Wait until you see the red/blue flash.
