Charging the battery completely (and keeping it charged) will help you  
get the longest possible talk and standby time out of the battery.

could damage your headset, create a fire hazard, or cause a risk of electric shock!

Pair the headset to your Bluetooth phone  
Pairing is like “introducingtwo Bluetooth devices and giving them  
permission to connect to each other. If you want to use the headset with  
more than one phone, you need to pair it with each phone separately.  
Once a phone and the headset are paired, they can connect automatically  
whenever they detect each other.  
1. Make sure the headset is powered off and the power adapter is not  
connected (you can’t use the headset while it’s charging).  
ꢀ. Press and hold Power until the LED flashes alternating red and blue. The  
headset is in pairing mode and should be visible to other Bluetooth  
devices.  
 
ꢁ. On your phone, start a search for Bluetooth headsets or handsfree  
devices. (This process may take several seconds, and it will be different  
for each phone; see your phone’s manual for detailed instructions.)  
ꢂ. Your phone should discover a device called a BT108, BT108 headset,  
BT109, or BT109 headset, When your phone asks if you want to pair with  
this device, answer yes.  
ꢃ. When your phone prompts you for a PIN code or password to pair with  
the BT108 or BT109 enter 0000.  
ꢄ. When the headset is paired, the LED turns blue and flashes every ꢁ  
seconds. Your phone might display a confirmation message, also.  
ꢅ. Your phone might ask if you want to change the headset’s name;  
generally, you should only change the name if you have more than one  
BT108 or BT109 headset that you use with this phone.  
Connecting to your phone  
Most phones connect to the headset as soon as you pair it; if yours won’t,  
turn the headset off and back on. If headset still won’t connect, check  
your phone’s owner’s manual for additional Bluetooth information.  
Once the headset is paired:  
Whenever you turn the headset on, it will automatically try to connect  
to whatever device it was connected to last.  
If the headset loses the connection (e.g., if your phone is out of range),  
it reconnects automatically. To manually reconnect, press Power.  
If the headset goes more than 1 hour with no connection, it  
automatically turns off.

General Information  
• You cannot use the headset while it is recharging.  
• Bluetooth wireless devices have a maximum range of 30 feet (10 m); the actual range will vary  
depending on current conditions (obstacles, battery power, interference, etc.).  
10  
• The headset can be connected only to devices Noise or Static on the Headset  
that support the Bluetooth headset or hands- The most common cause of noise or static on any  
free profile. This product is not compatible with wireless device is interference. Bluetooth devices  
standard cordless phones.  
Battery life  
operate in the ISM band (2.402 GHz ~ 2.480  
GHz); any equipment operating in this frequency  
range might interfere with the headset. Some  
common sources of interference in this range are  
• Equipment that uses microwaves, especially  
microwave ovens  
• Wireless LAN equipment or WiFi connections  
• Other Bluetooth devices or computers  
• Certain cordless telephones  
• Certain medical equipment and appliances  
If you have problems with static during calls,  
look for one of these interference sources. Try  
moving away from the suspected source.  
With average use, the battery should provide  
about 9 hours of talk time and 8 days of standby  
time. A battery that is new or left unused for  
long periods of time can have reduced capacity  
the first few times it is used. For maximum  
battery life, keep your battery charged.  
• When the battery only has enough charge for  
about 15 minutes of talk time, the headset  
triggers a low battery alert: you’ll hear a  
periodic beep, and the LED changed from blue  
to red.  
• When the battery no longer has enough charge  
to operate the headset, the headset will power  
off; you won’t be able to turn it back on until  
you connect the charger or charge the battery.  
If the noise continues, there may be interference  
on your phone itself, and any noise in the  
phone’s connection will come through on the

to hear in the current environment. If possible,  
use your headset in quiet surroundings or try  
to move to an area with less background noise  
before adjusting the volume.  
• Start with the volume at its lowest setting,  
then gradually increase it until you can hear.  
• Turn the volume down before powering off the  
headset and readjust the volume each time  
you turn it on.  
Safety and Handling Information  
For maximum product life, do not drop, throw, or  
crush the headset. Do not expose it to humidity,  
dust, or temperatures above 125 F.  
Cleaning the headset  
• If necessary, remove the ear cushion and  
earhook. Dampen a lint-free cloth with water  
or a cleaner specially designed for electronics,  
and gently wipe the headset clean.  
• Do not expose this product to liquid (water,  
alcohol, etc.) or submerse in liquid for any  
reason.  
• If someone next to you can hear the other end  
of the call through your headset or if your ears  
hurt or ring when you hang up, the volume is  
too high.  
• The longer your ears are exposed to noise, the  
greater the risk of damage. Limit calls at higher  
volumes (or other exposure to loud noise).  
• For more information on protecting your  
hearing, visit the WISE EARS® website  
an audiologist.  
Avoiding hearing damage  
Using any headset or earbud at too high a  
volume can cause permanent hearing damage.
