Introduction ENGLISH Multi-Function Button (MFB) Microphones Welcome to the BlueAnt Q2: the voice controlled smart Bluetooth headset for smartphone users. With the Q2 you can make outgoing calls and answer incoming calls using just your voice, and you will always know who is calling without looking at your phone because the Q2 will read out the caller’s name or number.
Charge Your Q2 Your Q2 has been given an initial partial charge to get you started, but for best results we recommend you fully charge it using the supplied USB cable and adaptor. > You should charge the Q2 whenever it announces that the battery is Very Low. The Q2 will switch itself off automatically when the Q2 battery runs out. > A full charge takes about 3-4 hours. > During charging, the indicator light flashes red. > When the light goes white, the charge is complete.
To use the Q2 you need to pair it with your phone. 1. Slide the hardware power switch across to turn the Q2 on and then put the Q2 in your ear. 2. If this is the first time you have used the Q2 it will go straight to pairing mode. The voice prompts will start to talk you through the pairing process.

Follow the voice prompts to pair the Q2 with your phone.

Use Your Voice to Control the Q2 The Q2 is voice controlled. Simply click the MFB and wait for the Q2 to ask you to Say A Command. Then immediately say one of the voice commands loudly and clearly.
Click the MFB and wait for the Q2 to ask you to Say A Command, then: > Say Phone Commands to activate the voice dial feature on your phone (if your phone supports voice dialing). > Say Redial to redial the last number you called on your phone. ENGLISH Use Your Voice to Make Phone Calls > Say Call Back to call back the last call you received on the Q2. Use Your Voice to Answer Calls When the phone rings, wait for the prompt to ask you if you want to take the call, and then say Answer or Ignore.
Voice Commands When you want to do something, just click the MFB, wait for the Q2 to ask you to Say A Command, and then say one of the following commands: > Am I Connected? — The Q2 will check if your phone is connected, and attempt to connect if it is not. > Call Back — Calls back the last incoming call received on the Q2. > Check Battery — Tells you the battery level on the Q2.
> Phone Commands — Activates your phone’s voice dialing feature (if supported).

When the LEDs are set to off, they still light up when you turn the Q2 on or off, but will not flash at other times.
Transferring your Phonebook Contacts to the Q2 Your Q2 uses Text to Speech technology (TTS) to read out the name of the person who is calling you. To do this, the Q2 needs to store a copy of your phonebook contacts. Automatically Transferring your Phonebook Contacts to the Q2 When you pair your phone with the Q2 it will attempt to transfer the phonebook contacts automatically. The Q2 stores up to 2,000 contacts per paired device. Tip: If you want to cancel the phonebook transfer, click the MFB.
Note: some phones do not support phonebook transfers at all. If this is the case, the Q2 will read out the caller’s number instead (providing your phone and carrier support caller ID). Updating your Phonebook Contacts on the Q2 ENGLISH 3. Select the option on your phone to “send” or “beam” contacts, business cards, or v-cards via Bluetooth, and select the Q2 from the list of Bluetooth devices. See your phone’s manual for help with this step.
Listening to Audio The Q2 supports A2DP audio streaming. If your phone supports the A2DP profile then simply start playing music or any other audio (including turn-by-turn directions from a GPS application on your phone) and it will automatically transfer to the Q2. If the phone rings the audio will mute. You can use your voice to answer or ignore the call. Or: > Click the MFB to accept the call. > Double click the MFB to ignore the call. The audio will resume when the call ends.
Depending on your phone, this may take a few seconds. Please ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on your phone. Using 2 Phones with the Q2 (Multipoint) ENGLISH Alternatively, use the hardware switch to turn the Q2 off whenever you are not using it. The Q2 will automatically reconnect to your phone if the phone is in range when you switch the Q2 on. Up to 2 devices can connect to the Q2 at the same time. If either phone rings, you can answer it with the Q2.
Note: Only the primary phone can play music through the Q2 via A2DP. Multiple Calls (Call Waiting)* If you receive an incoming call while you are already on a call the Q2 will play a tone to alert you. > Hold Vol + for about 1 second to put your current call on hold and answer the incoming call. > Hold Vol - for about 1 second to end the current call and answer the incoming call. > Once you have a call on hold, you can switch between calls by holding Vol + for about 1 second.
If you are having problems with the Q2, you can reset it and start again. Resetting the Q2 will clear all the stored pairing settings on the Q2, delete any stored contact details and put the device back into pairing mode. To reset the Q2: ENGLISH Resetting the Q2 1. Delete any existing pairing information from your phone and turn the phone off and back on again to clear the phone memory. 2. Make sure the Q2 is switched on but not connected to any phones. 3. Click Vol +, Vol - and the MFB together.
Troubleshooting Using Phone Commands and Voice Dialing When you use the command Phone Commands your Q2 activates your phone’s voice dial function. Your phone must support “voice dialing over Bluetooth”. This feature is supported by the iPhone 3GS (iOS 3.1+) and iPhone 4, most BlackBerry smartphones, and most Android devices running Android 2.2 and above. Once you have activated the voice dial feature, you are using your phone’s voice recognition software.
If you are having problems transferring your phonebook to the Q2, please see our knowledgebase on www.blueantwireless.com. This contains extensive troubleshooting tips for phone-specific issues relating to the phonebook transfer process. ENGLISH Some phones support phonebook transfers but do not support doing them automatically. If this is the case on your phone then you will need to manually send the contacts to the Q2, as described in “Manually Transferring your Phonebook Contacts to the Q2” on page 14.
The Q2 Does Not Announce the Caller’s Name The Q2 will only announce the name if the caller’s name and number are stored in your phonebook and have been transferred to the Q2 (on most phones your phonebook is automatically transferred when you pair your phone). If you make any changes to your phonebook after pairing then you must use the Update Phonebook command to update the details on the Q2. The Q2 will not read out the caller’s name or number if the caller withholds their number.
My Phone Does Not Reconnect to the Q2 If your phone always prompts you to confirm whether you want to accept the connection from the Q2, then you should configure your phone to treat the Q2 as a “trusted connection” or a “trusted device”. The exact option to change will depend on your phone model, but you need to go to the Bluetooth menu and locate the Q2 in the list of paired devices, then configure the Q2 to be an “authorized device” or add it to your phone’s list of “trusted devices”.
Answer or Ignore the call before saying the command. > Make sure you say the command clearly, speaking at a consistent speed. > If the Q2 does not respond, repeat the command. > Speak louder than any background noise. > Try changing the Q2’s sensitivity level. This setting determines how precisely the words that you say need to match the speech patterns that the Q2 has been configured to recognize. You can change it by using the Sensitivity Level command.
