Charging Your S9

First-Time Use: Before you can use your S9, charge its self‑contained

battery for two hours.
Recharging: When the S9’s indicator light flashes red, the S9 battery needs

recharging. Over time, batteries gradually wear down and require longer
charging times. This is normal. The more you use your S9 with your Bluetooth
devices, the less standby time your battery has.

The rechargeable batteries that power your S9 must be disposed of
properly and may need to be recycled. Contact your local recycling
center for proper disposal methods.

Warning: Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they may explode.

To charge your S9:
1 Lift up Ò rubber flap

cover off of charging
port.

2 Plug the Motorola

charger into the S9’s
charging port.

The indicator light turns red when the battery is charging. It may take up
to 1 minute for the indicator light to turn on. When the headset’s battery is
approximately 25% charged, the indicator light turns yellow. When charging
is complete (a full charge takes about 2 hours), the indicator light turns
green.

The S9 cannot be used while charging.

Note: You can also use a Motorola Original Vehicle Power Adapter to charge
the S9 battery while in your vehicle.

Your S9 powers off after one hour if not in use (no audio or control activity).

Note: If using a dual charging cable for charging, your S9 charges only on
the phone plug (not the accessory plug).

Pairing Your S9 with Your Bluetooth Device(s)

Before you can use your S9, you must pair (link) it with your Bluetooth‑
enabled phone and/or music devices.

“Pairing” links devices equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology and
allows a previously linked device to remember your S9. Once devices are
paired, they automatically connect when turned on and within range.

First Time Use

If you are pairing separate Bluetooth devices for handsfree calls and
streaming music, it is recommended that you pair your S9 with your
handsfree device (phone) first.

1 Ensure the Bluetooth feature is enabled (turned on) in your device.

(Refer to your phone or music device manual for detailed instructions
on enabling Bluetooth).

2 Turn on your S9 by pressing and holding

light flashes three times in blue. After a few moments, the indicator light
will be steadily lit in blue to indicate your S9 is in pairing mode.

3 From your device, perform a Bluetooth device discovery/search (Refer

to your phone or music device manual).

The phone lists Bluetooth devices it finds.

Select Motorola S9 and confirm.

Pairing Additional Devices

After you initially pair and connect your Bluetooth devices, you can later pair
additional devices. However, you will need to restart the S9 and turn off any
previously paired devices before pairing a new device.

About Pairing and Your S9

Your S9 can store pairing information for up to eight different Bluetooth
devices. Device IDs are stored in memory. If you try to pair more than eight
devices, the oldest paired device is removed from memory.

If connected when turned off, when your S9 is turned on, it automatically
connects with the last handsfree device (such as a mobile phone) and the
last streaming music source it was connected to.

Tip: You can also reconnect your S9 using the Bluetooth menu on your
phone.

To connect your S9 to another device in the paired device list, start the
connection by restarting the S9 and the device you want to connect with.
The last device connected with your S9 becomes the “last connected”
device.
