Using your headset with two devices simultaneously  
Your headset has two different connection modes: Multipoint mode and Singlepoint  
mode. Multipoint mode helps you manage two connections at the same time, for  
example, it lets you handle calls from one device and receive text messages from  
another. You must switch to Multipoint mode manually after you pair the headset with  
a second device successfully. If you stop using one of the two devices, you should  
switch manually to Singlepoint mode.  
The headset remembers both paired devices. You can reconnect previously paired  
devices easily by switching back to Multipoint mode from Singlepoint mode. A  
previously paired device can then be detected automatically.  
If your headset is paired with two Android™ devices, you must select one of them as  
the primary device for viewing event notifications and handling calls on your headset.  
You can only connect to a maximum of two devices in Multipoint mode. If you pair the headset  
with a third device, the first paired device gets disconnected.
