ENGLISH
Pair and connect the headset
Before using the headset, you must
pair and connect it to a compatible
device.
If your mobile device supports the
A2DP Bluetooth profile and has a
music player feature, you can use the
device to also play music through the
headset.
If your mobile device does not support
the A2DP profile, you can separately
pair the headset with the mobile
device and a music player that
supports this profile. If you have
paired and connected the headset to
your mobile device, disconnect the
headset from it before pairing the
headset with the music player.
To pair and connect the headset to
your device if the device supports the
Near Field Communication (NFC)
feature, activate the feature, switch
on the headset, and use your device to
touch the area shown in figure 10 at
the start of this guide. For details on
NFC, see the user guide of your device.
To pair and connect the headset to
your device if the device does not
support NFC:
1. Ensure that your mobile device or
music player is switched on and
the headset is off.
2. If the headset has not been
previously paired with a device,
switch on the headset. The headset
enters pairing mode, and the blue
indicator light starts to flash
quickly.
If the headset has been previously
paired with a device, ensure that
the headset is switched off, and
press and hold the power key (for
about 8 seconds) until the blue
indicator light starts to flash

after pairing.
When the headset is connected to
your device and is ready for use, the
blue indicator light flashes slowly.
You can pair the headset with up to
eight devices but connect it to only
one device supporting the HFP profile
and another device supporting the
A2DP profile at a time.
To manually connect the headset to a
last used device that supports the HFP
profile (for example, after connection

Battery and charger information
This device has an internal,
nonremovable, rechargeable battery. Do
not attempt to remove the battery from
the device as you may damage the
device. This device is intended for use
when supplied with power from the
following chargers: AC-3, AC-4, and DC-
4. The exact charger model number may
vary depending on the type of plug. The
plug variant is identified by one of the
following: E, EB, X, AR, U, A,C, K, or UB.
The battery can be charged and
discharged hundreds of times, but it will
eventually wear out. Recharge your
battery only with Nokia approved
chargers designated for this device.
![](/img.php?id=1211402&img=bgc.png)
ENGLISH
If a battery is being used for the first time
or if the battery has not been used for a
prolonged period, it may be necessary to
connect the charger, then disconnect and
reconnect it to begin charging the
battery. If the battery is completely
discharged, it may take several minutes
before the charging indicator light is
displayed.
Unplug the charger from the electrical
plug and the device when not in use. Do
not leave a fully charged battery
connected to a charger, since
overcharging may shorten its lifetime. If
left unused, a fully charged battery will
lose its charge over time.
Always try to keep the battery between
15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Extreme
temperatures reduce the capacity and
lifetime of the battery. A device with a
hot or cold battery may not work
temporarily. Battery performance is
particularly limited in temperatures well
below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as
they may explode. Dispose of batteries
according to local regulations. Please
recycle when possible. Do not dispose as
household waste.
Never use any charger that is damaged.
Operating times are estimates only.
Actual performance depends on many
factors such as device settings selected,
device features being used (or running in
the background), battery condition and
ambient temperature.
Taking care of your device
Your device is a product of superior
design and craftsmanship and should be
treated with care. The following
suggestions will help you protect your
warranty coverage.
![](/img.php?id=1211402&img=bgd.png)
ENGLISH
• Keep the device dry. Precipitation,
humidity, and all types of liquids or
moisture can contain minerals that
will corrode electronic circuits. If your
device does get wet, allow it to dry
completely.
• Do not use or store the device in
dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts
and electronic components can be
damaged.
• Do not store the device in high or cold
temperature. High temperatures can
shorten the life of electronic devices,
damage batteries, and warp or melt
certain plastics. When the device
warms to its normal temperature
from a cold temperature, moisture
can form inside the device and
damage electronic circuit boards.
• Do not attempt to open the device.
• Do not drop, knock, or shake the
device. Rough handling can break
internal circuit boards and fine
mechanics.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning
solvents, or strong detergents to
clean the device. Only use a soft,
clean, dry cloth to clean the surface of
the device.
• Do not paint the device. Paint can
clog the moving parts and prevent
proper operation.
These suggestions apply equally to your
device, charger, or any accessory.
Recycle
Always return your used electronic
products, batteries, and packaging
materials to dedicated collection points.
This way you help prevent uncontrolled
waste disposal and promote the recycling
of materials. Check product
environmental information and how to
recycle your Nokia products at
www.nokia.com/werecycle, or
nokia.mobi/werecycle.
The crossed-out wheeled-bin
symbol on your product, battery,
literature, or packaging reminds
you that all electrical and
![](/img.php?id=1211402&img=bge.png)
ENGLISH
electronic products, batteries, and
accumulators must be taken to separate
collection at the end of their working life.
This requirement applies in the European
Union. Do not dispose of these products
as unsorted municipal waste. For more
environmental information, see the
