Installation
Hanger Bracket
Getting Started
•
Refer to the foldout at the front of this manual to identify the various controls and
indicators on your Bluetooth handset.
Most button functions are activated by a momentary press, then release. In those
cases that call for “press and hold,” hold the button down for at least two seconds
after it is pressed. The PTT button is held down as long as you are speaking into
the microphone.
When using the handset, tones will sound to:
■
Indicate an error – three beeps.
■
Confirm an action – two beeps.
■
Confirm a single button press (except the PTT button) – one beep.
You can turn the Key Tones Off if you want (see page 21).
Try It Out
Using the Bluetooth handset is the most effective way to learn about it. Don’t
hesitate to explore functions and add entries to see how they work. Do not be
concerned if you make mistakes. They can all be undone in Edit mode. Or you
can reset the unit to the original factory default condition. Push and hold the
Green Phone and Home function keys, then push the Power key until the
unit turns On.
NOTICE
Resetting the unit will clear ALL Bluetooth device pairings as well as the
Call Log, Phonebook and Bluetooth device list.
