Manual Pairing
If the B550-XT has already been paired with another device and you are not going to
use NFC Pairing, you will need to put it into Pairing Mode manually:
Placing Headset into Pairing Mode
By Voice:
Activate headset voice recognition by pressing the Parrott Button or by pressing and
holding the Volume Up button. Then, after the prompt, say “pair mode.” The headset
will enter pairing mode and be visible for pairing to devices for 120 seconds.
Using Buttons:
With the headset powered off, press the MFB until the light rapidly flashes blue and
you hear the audio prompt “power on.” Keep holding the MFB for approximately 10
seconds until you hear “Pair Mode.”
The headset will be visible for pairing to devices for 120 seconds.
Pairing to a Cell Phone
1. Make sure that other Bluetooth devices are turned off or out of range.
2. Place the headset into pairing mode.
3. Put your cell phone in Bluetooth Search/Scan Mode
per the manufacturer’s instructions.
4. Select “BlueParrott B550-XT” to pair. (Passcode is “0000” if needed.)
5. Accept the phone book access request to enable caller ID in the headset.
6. When connected, the headset will give you the voice prompt,
“Your headset is connected.”

Wearing and Adjusting the B550-XT
To get the best performance from our noise-
canceling technology, position the microphone near
the corner of your mouth. Positioning is important;
small adjustments in microphone placement can
improve performance.
1. Place the headset on your head.
2. Position the speaker directly on your ear. You can
slide the headband in or out of the side support to
find the best fit for stability and comfort.
3. Position the microphone about one finger’s width
away from your face at the corner of your mouth.
The boom will rotate so you can position the
microphone correctly with the speaker on either ear.
