2.1 Hearingsafety
Danger
To avoid hearing damage limit the time you use
the headphones at high volume and set the
volume to a safe level. The louder the volume
the shorter is the safe listening time.
Be sure to observe the following
guidelines when using your headphones.
• Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable
periods of time.
• Be careful not to adjust the volume
continuously upwards as your hearing adapts.
• Do not turn up the volume so high that you
can’t hear what’s around you.
• Excessive sound pressure from earphones
and headphones can cause hearing loss.
• You should use caution or temporarily
discontinue use in potentially hazardous
situations.
• Using this headset with both ears covered
while driving is not recommended and may
be illegal in some areas while driving.
• For your safety avoid distractions from
music or phone calls while in traffic or other
potentially dangerous environments.

6 Get started
6.1 Chargeyourheadset
Before you use your headset for the first time,
charge the battery for 6 hours for optimum
battery capacity and life time.
Warning
Use only the original charger or a standard
aftermarket micro USB cable for charging. Using
another charger may damage or destroy your
headset.
Caution
Finish your call before charging the headset, as
connecting the headset for charging will cut an
ongoing call. During charging you can operate
the headset normally.
Plug the charger into a wall outlet and connect
the charger cable to the headsets charging
socket.
During recharging the LED indicator will show a
red light. The LED will turn off once charging is
complete. If you try to charge the headset when
it is full the LED will not light up.
Typically a full charge will take 2 hours, during
this time you can use your headset for calls and
music.
Tip
You can save energy and protect the
environment by unplugging the charger after
charging is complete.

Topairyourheadsetwithyour

1 Make sure your headset is charged and
turned Off.
6.2 PairyourPhilipsTapsterBluetooth
stereoheadsetwithyourmobile
phone
Your Philips Tapster Bluetooth stereo headset
must be paired to your mobile phone before
connecting and using it for the first time with
your phone. “Pairing” will establish a unique
encrypted link between your mobile phone and
your headset.
Pairinghastobedoneonlyonce,before
usingyourheadsetwithyourmobile
phoneoranotherBluetoothdeviceforthe
veryfirsttime.
• Only if you pair more than two different
Bluetooth devices with your headset, you may
need to pair the previously paired devices
again. Your headset can store up to two
paired devices in its memory, if you pair more
than two devices the oldest paired device is
overwritten.
• “Pairing” is different from “connecting” as
pairing typically only has to be done once,
whereas the phone and headset need to
“connect” every time one of the two devices
was turned off or out of range. With typical
phone settings your Philips Tapster Bluetooth
stereo headset will connect automatically to
your phone after you turned on the headset.
2 Make sure your mobile phone is on and its
Bluetooth feature is enabled.
3 Press On/Off on the right earpiece
until the LED starts blinking red and blue
alternately. The headset will now remain in
“pairing mode” for 5 minutes.
4 Pair the headset with your mobile phone as
described below. A sample pairing is shown
below.
Check your phone’s user manual for specific
details.
• Access the Bluetooth menu on your mobile
phone typically called “Setup”, “Settings”,
“Bluetooth” or “Connectivity”.
• Select the option to discover, add or search
for a Bluetooth device. After a few seconds
your phone should indicate that it has found
the “Philips SHB7110”.
• Upon selecting the “Philips SHB7110” on
your mobile phone typically you will need
to confirm the pairing and enter a passcode.

attach the earhook.
A. Insert the ball between the earpiece and the
earshell until it rests in the socket which
is located between the earpiece and the
earshell.
B. Rotate the hook to fit your ear.
C. Slide the hook over your ear.
D. Follow steps 2 and 3 as above.
6.3 Fittingyourheadset
1 Select your cap size for the best find and
optimum sound performance. It is not
unusual to fit two different exchangeable
rubber ear cap sizes on the right and left
earpiece.
2 Place the exchangeable rubber ear cap in
your ear and rotate the headset backward
for a snug fit.
3 Bring the connecting wire to the back of the
neck and insert the second earpiece.
Please enter the headsets passcode “0000”
(four zeros).
After successful pairing, the headset will connect
to the mobile phone. You will hear a long beep
to confirm successful pairing and the headsets
LED will change from flashing red/blue to
periodically flashing blue every three seconds.

minutes of familiarizing yourself with the new
touch controls you should find this way of
controlling the headset faster and simpler than
button based headsets.

Philips Tapster Bluetooth
stereo headset
8.1 Learnaboutthebatterystatus
Immediately after turning the headset on, the
LED will indicate the battery status.
LED behaviour Battery status
3x red blinking Less than 25% of charge
remaining
2x red blinking Less than 50% of charge
remaining
1x blue blinking 50% or more of charge
remaining
Approximately five minutes before the battery
runs out you will hear two short beeps every
minute to remind you to end the call or transfer
it to your phone before the battery runs out.
The LED will also continuously flash red with
about five minutes of talk time remaining.
8.2 Learnaboutsimultaneoususefor
voiceandaudio
Your Bluetooth stereo headset can connect to
one Bluetooth audio source (supporting the
A2DP and AVRCP Bluetooth profile) and one
Bluetooth communication source (supporting
HFP or HSP Bluetooth profile) at the same time.
Therefore you can connect your Bluetooth
stereo headset
• with a Bluetooth stereo enabled phone to
both listen to music and lead calls, or
• with a Bluetooth phone that only supports
Bluetooth communication (i.e. does not
support Bluetooth stereo (A2DP)) to lead
calls and at the same time to a Bluetooth
stereo device (Bluetooth enabled MP3 player,
Bluetooth audio adapter etc.) to listen to
music. Make sure to pair the phone first
with your Bluetooth headset, then turn both
the phone and headset off to then pair the
Bluetooth audio device.
With the SwitchStream feature you can listen to
music and monitor your calls at the same time.
While listening to music, you will hear a ring
tone when receiving a call and can switch to the
call simply by tapping the earpiece.
17
ENGLISH
8.3 LearnaboutFullSound
FullSound is a smart digital sound enhancement
algorithm, which runs on a powerful processor
inside your Bluetooth headset. It restores
and enhances bass, treble, stereo effects and
dynamics of compressed music and leads to a
more natural, “real life” sound experience based
on years of acoustic research and tuning.
There are two FullSound settings on your Philips
Tapster Bluetooth stereo headset:
• The “Natural” FullSound setting is optimized
for the most natural, audiophile reproduction
of music, ideal for classical, acoustic, Jazz and
voice dominated music.
• The “Dynamic Bass” setting emphasizes deep
frequencies for a more powerful bass ideal
for Hip Hop, Techno and other bass driven
music styles, or for extra motivation during
your workout.
When you buy the product the “Natural”
FullSound setting is enabled. To switch between
the two settings double tap the left earshell
two times. The “Natural” FullSound setting is
confirmed by an ascending tone, the “Dynamic
Bass” FullSound setting is confirmed by a
descending tone.
