Charging Your Headset
How to Charge Your Headset Using the AC Charger

Pairing Your Headset
Pairing is the process of introducing your headset to your phone. Before using your headset for the first time, you must pair it with your Bluetooth phone. Normally, you need to pair your headset with your phone only once.
To see a demo of the pairing process, visit www.plantronics.com/EasyToPair (only available in English).
Plantronics Quick Pair™ Technology
Your new headset includes Plantronics Quick Pair technology to simplify the Bluetooth setup process. The first time you turn your headset on, your headset automatically enters pairing mode for 10 minutes (the indicator light flashes red and blue). Once paired successfully, your headset stays on for instant use.
If not successfully paired after 10 minutes, your headset automatically powers off. When you turn the headset on again, it automatically goes into pairing mode until successfully paired with a Bluetooth phone.
