If you prefer to wear your earpiece in your left ear, follow these
simple steps to swap the volume orientation so that you can
still push up for volume up and down for volume down:
1. Put the Connect in your left ear.
2. Hold down the Command button, and push and hold the
volume rocker in the up position. Hold both buttons together
for about 3 seconds.
If you want to switch back, put the Connect back in your right
ear and repeat this procedure.
Note: If you reset your earpiece, it reverts to the default volume
control orientation (right ear).
Changing the Ear Bud
Your Connect is supplied with a choice of ear buds in different
sizes so that you can choose the one that fi ts best. If you want
to change the ear bud, remove the attached one by gently
lifting it away from the Connect.
Gently press the replacement ear bud onto the Connect and
push it fi rmly to secure it in place.
14
Using 2 Phones (Multipoint)
Up to 2 devices can connect to the earpiece at the same time. If
either phone rings, you can answer it with the earpiece.
Use the Pair Me command to put your Connect back into
pairing mode to pair another phone. Any currently connected
phone will be disconnected during pairing, so you will need to
reconnect afterwards.
Which Phone is Used for Calls?
When you have two phones connected you can always answer
an incoming call from either phone.
If you initiate a call through the earpiece (for example by saying
Phone Commands) then the call takes place on the primary
phone: the one that connected to the earpiece fi rst.
Call Waiting and Conferencing*
If you receive an incoming call while you are already on a call
the Connect will play a tone to alert you.

Note: You can only conference together calls received on the
same phone (although you can have conference calls running
on both phones at the same time).
* To use these features, your phone and network must support
call waiting and call conferencing.
16
Listening to Audio
The Connect supports A2DP audio streaming. If your phone
supports the A2DP profi le 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 earpiece.
If the phone rings the audio will mute. You can use your voice
to answer or ignore the call. Or:

> Double click the Command button to ignore the call.
The audio will resume when the call ends.
If you want to exit A2DP streaming mode to do something else:
> Click the Command button to activate the Connect’s voice
control feature. If you do not say one of the Connect’s voice
commands within a few seconds the music will resume
playing; or
> Double click the Command button to activate your phone’s
voice dialing feature (if available).

Reset the Connect
If you are having problems with the Connect, you can reset it
and start again.

reset the volume orientation to the default and put the device
back into pairing mode.

and turn the phone off and back on again to clear the phone
memory.

any phones.
