CHARGE THE BATTERY
1. Insert the Charging Cable into the Headset USB Por t.
2. Charge for 3 hours prior to use.
Solid Red LED indicates charging.
Solid Green LED indicates headset is fully charged.
CONNECTING HEADSET TO DEVICE
To use the Advantage Headset with a Bluetooth Device, such as a mobile computer or
industrial tablet, you must rst establish a wireless connection between the Headset and
the intended device. This process is called “Pairing”.
PAIRING
The Headset may be paired with Bluetooth devices using one of two methods:
1. Standard Bluetooth pairing where the headset is discovered by the Bluetooth Device.
2. Touch-to-Pair with devices supporting an NFC Connection.
Headset must be within close proximity of the Bluetooth Device to complete pairing. To
initiate pairing, Headset must be powered o. If the Headset is ON, turn the Headset OFF
by pressing the Multi-Function Button (MFB) for 2.5 seconds.
1. Initiate Standard Bluetooth pairing by pressing the MFB for 5 seconds (press and hold the
button until you hear “Pairing, Please Wait”). The LED alternately ashes red and blue.
Use the Bluetooth Device’s Bluetooth search and pairing func tionality (refer to the Device
or Host documentation if necessary) and select “BT Advantage” (or “BT Adva” on some
phones). If necessary, enter four zeros (0000) for the passcode and accept connection.
2. For Touch-to-Pair, initiate Standard Bluetooth Paring before touching Headset NFC tag to
NFC tag of Host. The Headset NFC Tag is located in the housing above the Blue Tiger LED.
Once successfully paired, you will hear “Pairing Successful” and the LED will ash blue, once

every two seconds indicating the Headset and Bluetooth Device are connected. The
Headset may be paired to a new Bluetooth Device using the above procedure. Note that
this will undo the pairing to the current Bluetooth Device.
Once the Headset and Bluetooth Device have been paired, the Headset and Bluetooth
Device will automatically reconnect the next time they are both powered on and in close
proximity to each other.
Multipoint Pairing
It may be useful to have the Headset connected to 2 devices simultaneously. For example,
to 2 dierent smartphones, or to a phone and a laptop computer. This is called Multipoint
pairing. For Multipoint pairing:
1. Turn o Bluetooth on the rst connected Device, and turn on Bluetooth on the second Device.
2. Initiate Pairing on the Headset (refer to Pairing section, step 1).
3. Pair the Headset with the second Device. You should hear an alert, “Device Connected”.
4. Turn ON Bluetooth on the 1st Device. Using the Device Bluetooth search menu, reconnect
to the BT Advantage Headset. You should hear a second “Device Connected” alert.
Your Headset is now connected with both devices and can now accept a call or listen to
audio/video from either device.
For more information or assistance with Multipoint Pairing, please contact Customer
Support (see Warranty and Customer Support section).
