1. Introduction  
With the Nokia Bluetooth Stereo Headset BH-903, you can  
listen to music and handle calls hands-free on your  
compatible mobile device. The headset also has a built-in  
FM radio. You can use the headset with compatible devices  
that support Bluetooth wireless technology.  
Read this user guide carefully before using the headset. Also  
read the user guide for your mobile device. It provides  
important safety and maintenance information.

information related to your Nokia product.  
Keep the headset and its accessories out of the reach of  
small children.

I n t r o d u c t i o n  
Bluetooth wireless technology  
Bluetooth wireless technology  
allows you to connect  
compatible devices without  
cables. A Bluetooth connection  
does not require that the mobile  
device and the headset are in  
line of sight, but the maximum  
distance between the devices is  
10 metres (33 feet). The closer  
<10m  
the mobile device and the headset are to each other, the  
better is the performance. The optimal operating range is  
shown in dark grey in the picture. The connection is subject  
to interference from distance and obstructions (shown in  
light grey) or other electronic devices.  
The headset is compliant with the Bluetooth Specification  
2.0 + EDR supporting the following profiles: Headset Profile  
1.1, Hands-Free Profile (HFP) 1.5, Phone Book Access Profile  
(PBAP) 1.0, Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) 1.0,  
and Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) 1.0. Check  
7
 
I n t r o d u c t i o n  
with the manufacturers of other devices to determine their  
compatibility with this device.

Before you can start using the headset, you must charge the  
battery and pair the headset with a compatible device.  
Parts of the headset are magnetic. Metallic materials may  
be attracted to the headset. Do not place credit cards or  
other magnetic storage media near the headset, because  
information stored on them may be erased.  
Chargers  
This device is intended for use when supplied with power  
from the following chargers: AC-3, AC-4, AC-5, and DC-4.  
Warning: Use only chargers approved by Nokia for  
use with this particular enhancement. The use of  
any other types may invalidate any approval or warranty,

5. Battery 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. 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. Use of an  
unapproved charger may present a risk of fire, explosion,  
leakage, or other hazard.  
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 appears on the display.  
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  
37  
 
B a t t e r y i n f o r m a t i o n  
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.  
Batteries may also explode if damaged.  
Never use any charger that is damaged.  
Important: Operating times are estimates only  
and depend on the mobile device used, features  
used, battery age and condition, temperatures to  
which battery is exposed, and many other factors.  
38  
C a r e a n d m a i n t e n a n c e  
Care and maintenance  
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.  
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 hot areas. High temperatures  
can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage  
batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.  
Do not store the device in cold areas. When the device  
returns to its normal temperature, moisture can form  
inside the device and damage electronic circuit boards.  
39  
 
C a r e a n d m a i n t e n a n c e  
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.  
Do not paint the device. Paint can clog the moving parts  
and prevent proper operation.  
These suggestions apply equally to your device, battery, or  
charger. If any device is not working properly, take it to the

Disposal  
The crossed-out wheeled-bin symbol on your  
product, literature, or packaging reminds you that all  
electrical and electronic products, batteries, and  
accumulators must be taken to separate collection at the  
end of their working life. This requirement applies to the  
European Union and other locations where separate  
collection systems are available. Do not dispose of these  
products as unsorted municipal waste.

By returning the products to collection you help prevent  
uncontrolled waste disposal and promote the reuse of  
material resources. More detailed information is available  
from the product retailer, local waste authorities, national  
producer responsibility organizations, or your local Nokia  
representative. For the product Eco-Declaration or
