EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY RADIATION
The radiated output power of this internal wireless radio is
far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Never-
theless, the wireless radio shall be used as described in
the manual.
The internal wireless radio operates within guidelines
found in radio frequency safety standards and recom-
mendations, which reflect the consensus of the scientific
community.
Plantronics therefore believes the internal wireless radio
is safe for use by consumers. The level of energy emitted is
far less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wire-
less devices such as mobile phones. However, the use of
wireless radios may be restricted in some situations or envi-
ronments, such as aboard airplanes. If you are unsure
of restrictions, you are encouraged to ask for authorization
before turning on the wireless radio.
REPLACING THE ADAPTER BATTERY
FIG. 6.1 – Loosen and remove the two screws on the
bottom of the adapter using a small Philips screwdriver.
FIG. 6.2 – Lift the cover and remove the battery. Insert
a new battery so the (+) and (-) symbols correspond
correctly to the labels inside the battery compartment.
Replace the bottom cover and insert and tighten the
two screws. Be careful not to over tighten the screws.
BLUETOOTH PAIRING
Use these instructions only if you replace either the
headset or adapter in your system. Your M1500
headset and adapter are already paired when you
receive them.
See Section 7 for instructions on pairing just the head-
set to a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone.
FIG. 6.3 – PAIRING THE HEADSET AND ADAPTER
Make sure both devices are turned on. See Section 5
for more details.
Press and HOLD the POWER button on the adapter
unit for about 10 seconds, or until the INDICATOR light
begins to flash red.
Now, PUSH IN and HOLD the headset MUTE/VOL-
UME dial until the INDICATOR light begins to flash.
The pairing process should take about 15–30 seconds.
If pairing is successful, the headset will sound a tone
and both the headset and adapter INDICATOR lights
will turn off.
If pairing fails, the headset INDICATOR will stop blink-
ing after 60 seconds and return to standby mode. It
will not sound a tone. Also, the adapter INDICATOR
will light red for 2 seconds and then turn off. Repeat
the pairing process.
You may also use the headset alone with a
compatible Bluetooth mobile device.
The following instructions show how to pair
your headset to a Bluetooth mobile phone.
Before PAIRING, you will need: (1) your fully
charged headset, (2) your mobile phone user
guide; and (3) your four-digit headset passkey
(located on the passkey card included in your
M1500 package).
FIG. 7.1 – TURN ON BOTH DEVICES
To turn on your headset, press and HOLD the
TALK/ON-OFF button until the button lights.
See Section 5 for more details.
Once both devices are turned on, place the
headset and phone within an arm’s length of
each other.
FIG. 7.2 – SELECT PAIRING MODE
Following instructions in your mobile phone
user guide, select discover, or pairing, mode
from the Bluetooth options of your phone.
On your headset, PUSH IN and HOLD the
MUTE/VOLUME key until the INDICATOR
light begins to blink. Your headset is now
discoverable.
Check your mobile phone display and follow
any instructions.
FIG. 7.3 – ENTER YOUR PASSKEY
If prompted by your phone, enter your four-
digit passkey.
Some mobile phones and portable devices
will not require a passkey.
CONFIRM PAIRING
If pairing is successful, the headset will sound
a tone and the INDICATOR light will turn off.
Check your mobile phone display to see if
pairing succeeded and follow any instructions.
NOTE – If pairing fails, the INDICATOR light
will stop flashing after 60 seconds and your
headset will return to standby without sounding
a tone.
Refer to your mobile phone user guide and
repeat the pairing process.
CHECK THE CONNECTION
Test the headset to phone pairing by making a
call. Refer to Section 5, FIG. 5.2 and your
mobile phone user guide for more details.

efficiency of the headset.
TROUBLESHOOTING
What do I do if...
THE ADAPTER UNIT DOESN’T PLUG INTO
MY PHONE?
Different models of phones require different
plug styles. Check the compatibility sticker
on your M1500 box and make sure the unit
you purchased is compatible with your
model phone.
I CAN’T ANSWER CALLS FROM MY
HEADSET?
Check your mobile phone user guide to see
if your phone supports answer/end control
from a headset, then review Section 5.
Make sure both your headset and adapter
are turned on and the batteries are charged.
Make sure the adapter unit is connected
securely and is compatible with your model
phone.
CALLERS DO NOT HEAR ME.
Make sure that the headset’s microphone is
facing your mouth and positioned properly.
Verify that the unit is not in mute mode.
I DON’T HEAR CALLERS.
Turn up the volume using the volume control
on your headset and on your mobile phone.
Make sure the headset’s speaker is posi-
tioned snugly over your ear.
THE HEADSET IS UNCOMFORTABLE.
Check to make sure that the adjustable earloop
is properly positioned and resting gently on
your ear.
Adjust the height and direction of the ear-
loop, both up and down, front and back, so
pressure is not being exerted on any part of
your ear, causing you discomfort.
Gently bend the angle of the flexible ear-
loop to conform to the shape of your ear.
HOW DO I USE THE HEADSET ON MY LEFT
EAR?
The headset, as packaged, is ready to
be used on your right ear. However, with
one very simple adjustment, the headset is
easily aligned for your left ear . Please
see the footnote in Section 4 for detailed
instructions.

SAFETY
Check local laws regarding use of a mobile
phone and headset while driving.
If you use the product while driving ensure your
attention and focus remains on your responsibility
of driving safely.
CHILDREN. Never allow children to play with
the headset — small parts may be a choking
hazard.
Batteries can be swallowed by children and
are dangerous if swallowed. Always store
and dispose of batteries where children can’t
reach them.
Observe all signs that require an electrical device
or RF radio product to be switched off in desig-
nated areas. These could include hospitals, blast-
ing areas, and potentially explosive atmospheres.
Turn off your headset prior to boarding an air-
craft. Do not use your headset in an aircraft.
Never mount or store your headset over any air
bag deployment area as serious injury may result
when an air bag deploys.

voltage or wall outlet.
CAUTION: If the headset becomes hot dur-
ing charging, disconnect the AC adapter from
the wall and contact qualified service personnel.

with the instructions of this manual.
Charger Output: 5.5V/500mA maximum, center
contact positive.
CARE
Never submerge your headset in water or other
liquids.
Protect your headset from spills, excessive rain,
and wet locations.

they may damage the headset or finish of the
headset.
