Pair the headset to your Bluetooth phone Pairing is like “introducing” two 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 you pair a phone to the headset, the two devices can connect automatically whenever they can detect each other. Before you can use your headset, you must pair it with a Bluetooth-enabled device (such as Bluetooth mobile phone).
IMPORTANT! When the headset successfully pairs with a device, the red light flashes twice every 5 seconds. If pairing failed, the blue light flashes once every 5 seconds. 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.
