Avoid temperatures exceeding 140F (will cause equipment failure). Glossary of Terms Paired- Two Bluetooth enabled devices agree to communicate with one another. On - Headset is powered on but there is no active Bluetooth connection to the phone. Standby Mode - Headset is paired and connected (active Bluetooth link) to the cellular phone, ready for an incoming or outgoing call. Talk Mode- Headset is being used with the cell phone while the cell phone is on an active call. BATTERY POWER INDICATORS 4 HEADSET CONTROLS Indicator Lights Multifunction Button (MFB)
& Indicator Lights Volume Up
& Microphone Mute Volume Down After the rst initial (required) charge of 12 hours, the headsets indicator lights will indicate the level of battery power as follows. Green light: Headset is fully charged and will provide 11+ hours talk time. Green & red lights together: Approximately 60 seconds away from full charge. Red light: Less than a full charge is on the headset. TIP For best battery performance, keep charging headset when its not in use. PAIR HEADSET WITH THE PHONE 6 Keep headset & phone no more than 3 feet apart while pairing and keep all other Bluetooth devices at least 50 ft. away or turn them off. Note: The headset can be paired with up to 3 different devices. Pairing is done just once and not every time a different device is used. 1. Remove headset from charger and turn it off (panel 5). The blue light on the headsets MFB should not be ashing
(watch for 5-7 seconds to be sure its off). 2. Hold down the headsets MFB until the red and blue lights ash. You will hear 2 rising tones, followed by 4 more tones. Important: Wait for all tones and for both lights to ash. This may take up to 15 sec. Release the MFB. 3. Follow the manufacturers instructions for putting your cellular phone into Bluetooth discovery mode. 4. Wait 5-15 sec. while the devices discover each other. When the phone discovers the headset (VXI B350), select Pair and enter a pass code of 0000 when instructed. When pairing is complete the headsets red light will stop ashing and the phone will prompt you to connect to the headset. Enter Yes on the phone to connect to the headset. The headset is now in standby mode ready to receive a call. Volume Increase: Quickly press and release the Volume Up/Mute button. Repeat until desired volume is attained. Volume Decrease: Quickly press and release the Volume Down button. Repeat until desired volume is attained. Microphone Mute/Un-Mute: Hold down the Volume Up/Mute button for 2 seconds until you hear a beep. The microphone will mute and a reminder beep will be heard every 10 seconds while in mute mode. Repeat the 2-second press to un-mute. OVER-THE-EAR WEARING STYLE 7 The B350 includes 3 different size earhooks. Choose the one best suited for your ear size. The headset can be worn on the left or right ear (see photos below) Position the ring on the earhook over the receiver and press the ring down until it snaps into place. Some resistance is normal. Right ear mount Left ear mount Wrap earhook around the back of your ear as shown. 9 MICROPHONE POSITIONING 10 MAKE A CALL / END A CALL Position the microphone near the corner of your mouth as shown. Correct microphone positioning is important to ensure that the microphones noise cancellation technology works properly. Slight adjustment of the microphone may help to achieve optimum performance. If you have not paired the headset and phone together yet, you must do so (panel 6). Remember, in order to make a call, the headset must be in standby mode. 1. Turn on your cell phone. Note: Be sure the Bluetooth option is enabled on your phone. Refer to your phones user guide for instruction. 2. Remove the headset from the charger, put it on your head and properly position the microphone (panel 9). Turn on the headset by pressing the MFB for 2-3 seconds. The headset will automatically attempt to connect with the last device it was paired or connected with. 3. Once connected, the headset will enter standby mode. Dial the phone and make a call as usual. 4. To end the call, quickly press the MFB on the headset and release. You will hear 2 falling tones; the call will terminate and the headset will enter standby mode. 2 CHARGE THE HEADSET Select charger cord and plug it into the charger port on the headset, as shown below. Plug cord into power source and charge undis-
turbed for 12 full hours before rst use. Note: If you do not use your headset for a long period of time, you should repeat this 12 hour charge. The Multifunction Buttons
(MFB) lights may turn from red to green in less than 12 hours. Even so, do not use the headset before the 12 hour charge is complete. Failure to do this may result in shorter battery life. AC Charger DC Charger MFB Charger Port TURN HEADSET OFF / ON 5 Turn Headset Off (conserves battery power) Hold down the MFB for 2-3 seconds until you hear 2 falling tones. The blue light will stop ashing and the headset will turn off. TIP Keep charger plugged into headset when not in use to avoid battery drain. Its not necessary for the charger to be plugged into a power source to take advantage of this bene t. Turn Headset On: Hold down the MFB for 2-3 seconds until you hear 2 rising tones. The blue light will ash every 4 sec. Note: After the headset is turned on, it will attempt to connect to the last device that it was paired or connected with if that device is available, i.e. powered on and within range. Otherwise, the headset will remain in the on state. OVER-THE-HEAD WEARING STYLE 8 1. Remove the earhook if it is attached (see panel 7). Receiver Ridge 2. On the headband ring is a small headset icon. Position the icon so that it faces down on the receiver and press down until it snaps into place. Some resistance is normal. 1 2. Select a leatherette or foam ear cushion and insert the matching size circular disk inside the cushion as shown. Make sure the ridge faces outward. 2 3. Snap the disk onto the receiver. Some resistance is normal. Rotate headset to place on right or left ear. Place headband over your head and adjust for comfort. 3 ANSWER A CALL / END A CALL 11 In order to receive a call, the headset must be in standby mode. 1.

ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS TRANSFER AUDIO To transfer audio from the headset to the cell phone while on a call, press and hold the volume down button for 1-2 seconds. A tone will be heard and audio will transfer to the phone; repeat to transfer audio back to the headset. When audio is transferred to the phone, all headset activity (lights and sounds) will stop until audio is transferred back to the headset. SPECIFICATIONS 18 Range: 66 ft. Note- Best range is achieved with line-of-sight positioning of headset and cell phone. Certain conditions and obstructions, such as wireless devices, walls, etc., can inhibit radio wave transmission and reduce range. Talk Time Duration: 11+ hours on a 12 hour charge. Standby Time Duration: Up to 150 hours on a 12 hr. charge. Auto (DC) Charger Inline Fuse Replacement: If neither of the headset charging indicators light when the auto adapter is connected to the headset and power source, check the chargers inline fuse. Replace with 1A 250V Slow-Blow glass fuse (3AG) if necessary. Fuses are available at most automotive stores. To replace, simply unscrew the tip of the auto adapter (see photo, right) and remove the fuse (be careful not to lose the spring that is inside). Put new fuse in and screw the tip back on. PAIRING WITH A COMPUTER 13 Continued 5. Wait 5-15 seconds while the devices discover each other. The headsets red light will stop ashing and the blue light will continue to ash. After pairing is complete, the Bluetooth computer will ring the headset. Press and release the MFB once to connect (establish a Bluetooth link) to the computer. Press and release the MFB again to disconnect from the computer. NOTE: The connection can be initiated from the headset by pressing the volume down button for 1-2 seconds. Tones will be heard and a connection should be established. ADDITIONAL FEATURES 16 TURN HEADSET INDICATOR LIGHTS OFF/ON To turn the headset indicator lights off or on, press both the volume up and volume down buttons at the same time for approximately 1 second.
