Series 9200 Bluetooth Wireless Headset Introduction
The Series 9200 Headset is a lightweight “over the ear” wireless headset utilizing Bluetooth technology in

receiver, and is intended for hands free communications with mobile telephones containing Bluetooth
compatibility or any other device that has a Bluetooth Audio Gateway.
Headset power is provided by a rechargeable battery. The battery can be charged with a vehicular charge
adapter or an AC charge adapter. Battery Life is approximately 3 hours {“Talk Time”) and 100 hours
standby (“Sniff”) time
The headset has the following user operated controls (see Figure 1):
1. Boom Switch---The power is OFF when the microphone boom is in the closed position and the power
is ON when the microphone boom is in the open position.
2. Function Button---This button is pushed for various lengths of time to initiate a call, hang up a call,
pairing, transferring a call to a headset, and microphone mute.
3. Volume Rocker Switch---The upper portion of this switch is pushed momentarily to INCREASE the
receive volume in steps and the lower portion of this switch is pushed momentarily to DECREASE the
receive volume in steps.
The headset has the following visual indicator:
Blue LED at tip of microphone boom---LED flashes at various rates and durations to indicate Power
ON/OFF, Charging, Search & Pairing, BT Link Established, Standby/Sniff Mode, and Audio Link (on a
call)
The headset has the following audio indicator:
Tone in receiver---Tone varies in duration, duty cycle and frequency to indicate Volume Steps, Volume

I Series 9200 Bluetooth Headset Operation---Preliminary

2. To charge battery plug charger connector into rectangular Charge Jack located on edge of housing
opposite microphone boom hinge. (Note that the headset is not functional while charging and the
microphone boom can be open or closed). Select 4-hour charge rate on charger and charge battery. The
Blue LED in the tip of the microphone boom will stay ON during charging and go OFF when charging
is complete (and the charger is still plugged in).
3. The headset is supplied for use on the right ear. For left ear use open the ear loop 90 degrees from the
closed position, carefully snap ear loop off of hinge, rotate 180 degrees and snap back onto hinge.
II Pairing with Mobile Phone (Mobile phone must be Bluetooth compatible.)
(Note: The Auto Pairing Mode will be entered when the boom is opened if not already paired. Pairing must
be done every time the headset establishes a link with a different mobile phone or other Bluetooth
compatible device)
1. Verify power of mobile phone to be paired with is ON and phone is within 10 feet of headset.
2. Open headset microphone boom to switch headset power ON.
3. Within 3 seconds after the microphone boom is opened press the Function Button for 2 seconds.
4. Note that the Blue LED will flash ON & OFF for ½ second durations until the Bluetooth pairing has
been completed. When pairing has been completed the Blue LED will go ON steady for 5 seconds
followed by a series of 10 rapid flashes. Also, a ½ second 2 kHz beep will be heard from the receiver.
5. To establish an Audio Connection with mobile phone after pairing: Select Settings, Connection,
Bluetooth Link, Handsfree, and Scan All on mobile phone. Enter Headset PIN # (xxxx) when
prompted. Select Link on phone to establish Audio Connection.
6. If pairing fails, the Blue LED will go OFF.
III Receiving an Incoming Call
1. Place the headset on your ear after opening the microphone boom fully, opening the ear hook 90
degrees, placing the earhook over your ear, and close the earhook so the receiver is close to your ear.
The microphone boom should be pointed toward your mouth.
2. If there is an incoming call while the headset boom is open and the devices are paired, the call will
automatically be answered by the headset. When on a call, the Blue LED will flash at a rate of 1
second ON and 1 second OFF.
3. If the BT link has been established and the headset is in “Sniff Mode” (The headset is powered up for
approximately 5 minutes after opening the boom and approximately 5 minutes after a call is
completed, then it goes into “Sniff Mode” to conserve battery life. The Blue LED blinks at a rate of
1/10 second ON and 2.9 seconds OFF when in “Sniff Mode”.), an incoming Call Alert can be
answered by pressing the Function Button momentarily. (The Incoming Call Alert is 1 second of 700
Hz Warble Tone.)
4. To adjust the Receive Volume Up, momentarily press the upper end of the rocker switch one or more
times until the desired level is achieved. A ½ second 2 kHz beep will be heard when the max volume is
reached.
5. To adjust the Receive Volume Down, momentarily press the lower end of the rocker switch one or
more times until the desired level is achieved. A ½ second 2 kHz beep will be heard when the min
volume is reached.
IV Making an Outgoing Connection
1. If the headset is powered up, dialing can be done from the cell phone or by Voice Dialing if available
2. If the headset is in the “Sniff Mode” press the Function Button for more than 2 seconds and release.
Dialing can be done from the cell phone or by Voice Dialing if available.

to mute and un-mute. When the microphone is muted, two 150 millisecond 2 kHz beeps are heard in
the receiver every 15 seconds.
2. Low Battery Warning is indicated by five 50 millisecond 2 kHz beeps in the receiver every 20 seconds.
3. Out of Range is indicated by deterioration of audio quality (noisy signal) in the receiver.
4. Power ON/OFF is accomplished by opening and closing the microphone boom.

lint out of microphone and speaker openings.
