6Getting StartedTo get started, you need to pair the Q1 with your phone.1. Put the Q1 in your ear.You can wear the Q1 in either ear, but for the best results:• Wear it in your right ear.• Angle the headset so that it points towards your mouth (this will help the Q1's microphonesto pick up your voice).2. Turn the Q1 on by holding down (the BlueAnt button) until you hear the welcome message(about 3 seconds).• If this is the first time you have used your Q1, it will automatically go into pairing mode, andyou will hear the voice prompts start to take you through the pairing process.•If the pairing process does not start automatically, click (the BlueAnt button), wait forthe Q1 to ask you to "Say A Command" and then say the command "Pair Me" to go intopairing mode.3. Follow the voice prompts to pair the Q1 with your phone.When the pairing process finishes, you are ready to start using the voice commands to control yourQ1. See "Use your Voice to Control the Q1" (page 8) for more information about how to use thevoice commands.

7Using the Q1Q1 ButtonsThe Q1 has three buttons: the BlueAnt button and the volume up and down buttons.If you wear the Q1 on your right ear, the volume up button will be the higher of thetwo.Wearing the Q1You can wear the Q1 in either ear, but for the best results:• Wear it in your right ear.

8• Angle the headset so that it points towards your mouth (this will help the Q1's microphones topick up your voice).Attaching the Ear Hook and Ear GelBefore you can wear the Q1, you need to attach the ear hook, by pushing the smaller end of thehook through the hole on the back of the Q1. You can then adjust the length so that the hook will fitcomfortably on your ear.The Q1 comes fitted with an ear gel. If you want to change the gel, you can remove it by gently lifting itaway from the Q1. Gently press the replacement gel onto the Q1, and push it on firmly to secure it inplace.Figure1.

12PairingBefore you can use the Q1 headset, you need to pair your phone with the Q1.Pairing creates a stored link between the phone and the headset. Once you have paired your phonewith the Q1, they will reconnect to each other in future without you having to repeat the pairingprocess.To pair your phone, use the "Pair Me" command and follow the voice prompts. The instructions belowprovide some additional information about the pairing procedure, in case you encounter problemspairing your phone with the Q1.• The Q1 can store pairing information for up to 8 different Bluetooth devices.• Up to 2 devices can be connected at the same time (multipoint). When two devices areconnected, you can answer whichever one rings.• If a mobile device is connected to the Q1 and you go into pair mode to pair another device, thenthe first device will disconnect from the Q1.Pairing Procedure1. With the Q1 switched on, press (the BlueAnt button) and use the "Pair Me" command to enterpair mode.The voice prompts will explain that the Q1 is now in pair mode.

132. Bring the mobile phone to within about 30cm of the Q1.3. Find the Bluetooth menu in your mobile phone, and turn Bluetooth on.If necessary, refer to your phone's manual, or check with your phone manufacturer for moreinformation on how to enable Bluetooth on your mobile phone.4. Use your phone's Bluetooth menu to search for Bluetooth devices.This may take a few minutes, depending on your phone model.5. When your phone finishes searching, it will display a list of devices it has found. Select theBlueAnt Q1 from the list.6. If your phone prompts you for a password or security code, enter "0000".7. Depending on your phone model, it may now connect to the BlueAnt Q1 automatically. If thisdoes not happen, select the option on your phone to connect to the Q1.You are now ready to start using the Q1.On some phones you may need to change an additional security setting to allow thephone and headset to reconnect to each other automatically every time they comeback into range.If your phone keeps prompting you to accept the connection from the Q1, then thisapplies to you. See "My Phone Does Not Automatically Reconnect to the Q1" (page19) for more details on how to fix this on your phone.

14Voice IsolationTo ensure that you can always be heard, even in the noisiest of environments, the Q1 comes withBlueAnt's Voice Isolation Technology ™ . There are two modes of voice isolation: the best one to usewill depend on the environment you are in:• Standard Voice Isolation mode is well suited to normal everyday environments. It gives you anatural sounding voice while removing mild background noise.• Maximum Voice Isolation mode gives you high levels of voice intelligibility in very noisyenvironments.To switch between the two voice isolation modes, click the BlueAnt button at any timeduring a call.The standard and maximum voice isolation settings both use the same amount of battery power.Use Standard... Use Max..In the office In a noisy restaurantAt home While walking or in a vehicleIn a quiet environment When there is background music

15Charging the Q1Your Q1 has been given an initial charge to get going, but in future you will need to charge the devicefor up to 2.5 hours.Use the supplied AC adapter or the USB cable to charge the Q1 whenever the battery is low.You will be able to tell that the battery is low because the BlueAnt button will flash red when you turnthe Q1 on. You can also check the current battery level using the "Check Battery" command.Charging the Q1 with the USB cable1. Plug the supplied USB cable into a spare USB socket on your computer.2. Plug the other end of the USB cable into your Q1.3. The BlueAnt button on the Q1 flashes red during charging. When the light goes out, the Q1 isfully charged. Remove the USB cable from your computer, and disconnect the Q1 from the otherend of the cable.Charging the Q1 with the AC Adapter1. Attach the supplied USB cable to the supplied AC adapter.2.

When the light goes out, the Q1 isfully charged. Disconnect the AC adapter and USB cable.

16Setting Up Speed DialsThe Q1 is designed to allow you to use speed dials so that you can make calls just using your voice.There are two ways you can use speed dials:• The easiest way to use speed dialing with the Q1 is to use you phone's speed dial settings: simplyuse the voice commands "Call Speed Dial 1" to "Call Speed Dial 8" and the Q1 will attempt tocall the number stored in the corresponding speed dial on your phone.• The other method of speed dialing is to store numbers in the Q1 headset itself. In order toprogram speed dials into the Q1, you must first receive a call from the number you want to save.Some phones do not adhere to the Bluetooth specification for speed dialing. If this is the case withyour phone, then you will not be able to use the first method of speed dialing, and will have to set upyour speed dials in the Q1 itself.Numbers stored in the Q1 headset take precedence over numbers stored in yourphone. For example, if you use the command "Call Speed Dial 3" and you have storeda number in the Q1's speed dial 3 setting, then the Q1 will call this number. If you havenot stored a number in the Q1 for speed dial 3, then it will attempt to call speed dial 3on your phone.Setting Up Speed Dials in the Q1 Headset1. Wait until you receive a call from the number you want to store.

172. When the call finishes, press and hold Vol- on the Q1 for 1 second.3. The Q1 will read out the number of the last incoming call and ask you which calling commandyou want to tag it to. Wait for the Q1 to finish listing the options, and then say the name of thespeed dial command you want to tag this number to.If you change your mind, you can click the BlueAnt button to cancel.

18TroubleshootingThis section describes some typical problems you may encounter, and explains how to solve them.General AdviceIf you are having problems with your Q1, the first thing to try is to reset the device, and start again:see "Resetting the Q1" (page 18) for more information.If this does not solve your problem, you should:• Check that your phone has the latest firmware installed on it, and update your phone if it doesnot.
