5. After searching for a while, your other under pairing mode device (e.g. mobile phone) should list model name of
this headset, e.g. BTH-1XX, Please confirm it following your device user documentation. Then, when pin code or
passkey of headset is asked, please enter 0000, which is default pin code pre-stored in the headset. Then, pairing
procedure starts and taking a few seconds, it will show pairing successful. In the meantime, you might now replace
the given headset model name with your favorite name tag. The pairing process is then completed. A beep tone
will be heard on BTH-1XX when pairs successfully
6. The LED indicator will resume to the standby mode (flashing blue every 3 seconds) after a short while.

F. Troubleshooting
Learning how to use a Bluetooth headset takes more time than a regular headset, but it offers considerable benefits
once you’ve mastered it. Here are some common symptoms and solutions that will help to get you going quickly.
Symptom Solution
Headset battery discharged quickly
After placing a call, you might have left headset in active mode, instead
of returning them to standby mode (see E.2 Ending a call).
LED indicator flashes red
It indicated the battery is running to low capacity. Please charge it for 1
hour at least.
No sound contact between headset and other
Bluetooth enabled device
*Make sure that the two devices has been paired and the headset is still
in the paired device list of the phone.
*Make sure that the two devices are power on and within working radius
18
of each other without solid objects, such as walls of furniture, in
between.
*Some mobile phone can support only one Bluetooth headset.
Disconnection might happen when there is more than one headset
paired with such phone.
*Your phone might only look up the last paired headset for phone link.
After idle for some time, my BTH-1XX does
not respond while phone receive a call.
BTH-1XX will go to deep sleep mode after idle in standby mode for 2
hours. You have to press talk button to resume the standby mode for call
operation.
Headset switch off automatically

approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
*Headset has been in pairing mode for more than 120 seconds.
19
*Line switch is re-selected during pairing mode.
Voice command not working properly
* Record all the voice tags through the headset instead of through your

Cracking noise
There is an interfering signal nearby. Or you have exceeded the 10 m
(30 ft.) wireless range.
LED Indicator on headset does not turn on
when charging
*Ensure that the AC power adapter is plugged firmly into an electrical
wall outlet.
*Ensure that the cable coming from the AC power adapter is firmly
plugged all the way into the Charging Jack or to the Charging Jack

Radio frequency exposure
Your Bluetooth headset is a radio transmitter and receiver. When in operation, it communicates with
a Bluetooth equipped device by receiving and transmitting radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic
fields (microwaves) in the frequency range 2400 to 2500 MHz. The output power of the radio
transmitter is low, 0.001 watt. This Bluetooth headset is designed to operate in compliance with the
RF exposure guidelines and limits set by international authorities and agencies.
