ing the unit to your handset, place a few calls (see Section 5) and determine a position that provides the best audio performance. FIG. 3.1 ATTACHING DIRECTLY TO HANDSET Select a location on your handset to attach the adapter unit. Make sure the attachment point is flat and large enough to fit the supplied tape/Velcro patches. Check that the adapter unit cord will connect to the headset-jack on your handset without interfering with nor-
mal usage. NOTE Make sure that when the adapter unit is fixed to your handset, other accessories you use (belt clips, car kits or charging stations) can con-
nect and work properly. Peel the backing off one side of the tape/Velcro patch and attach it squarely to the back of the adapter unit. Peel off the other (exposed) side of the tape/Velcro patch and secure it to your handset. Now attach the adapter unit to your handset and connect the cord to the headset-jack. See your mobile phone user guide for instructions for con-
necting a headset. FIG. 3.2 USING THE BELT POUCH Open the pouch and slide in the adapter unit with the power jack facing down. With the pouch open, slip the adapter cord through the rectangular slot in the top flap and close the pouch. Slide the pouch onto your belt and attach the adapter cord to your handset. When using the belt pouch, remember to unplug the adapter before you answer or make a call using your handset.

In a few seconds, the INDICATOR lights will begin to blink. The INDICATOR lights will stop blinking and turn off when the head-
set and adapter are fully charged. The first charge takes 2 hours; subse-
quent charges take just 1 hour. A fully charged headset and adapter will pro-
vide approximately 3 hours of talk time and 3 days of standby. Recharging your batteries each night will ensure your headset is ready for use the next day. The batteries used in this product must be recycled or disposed of properly. Contact your local recycling center for proper dis-
posal instructions. FIG. 3.1A FIG. 3.1B G E T T I N G T H E P E R F E C T F I T Customize your headset so that it fits comfortably. FIG. 4.1 Rotate the earloop outward. FIG 4.2 Position the headset over your right ear so that the earloop slides behind your ear. Bend the flexible ear-
