The Wireless Clip-on Headset HS-21W can be connected to a compatible mobile
phone that supports Bluetooth wireless technology. This allows you freedom to
make and receive calls while on the move or in the office.
Read this user guide carefully before using the headset. In addition to this user
guide, read also the user guide for your phone, which provides important safety
and maintenance information. Keep the headset out of reach of small children.
■ Bluetooth wireless technology
The Bluetooth wireless technology makes it possible to connect compatible
communication devices without using cables. A Bluetooth connection does not
require that the phone and the headset be in line of sight, but both devices should
be within 10 meters of each other. Connections can be subject to interference
from obstructions, such as walls, or other electronic devices.
The HS-21W headset is specially designed for compatible Nokia mobile phones
that support Bluetooth wireless technology. The headset can, however, be used
with any compatible devices that support the compatible Handsfree or Headset
profiles. (Here, a profile is a set of Bluetooth wireless technology commands that
the phone uses to control the headset).
The HS-21W headset is compliant with the Bluetooth Specification 1.1 supporting
the following profiles: Headset Profile 1.1, Handsfree Profile 1.0. However,
interoperability between the HS-21W headset and other Bluetooth-enabled
products is not guaranteed because it depends on compatibility. Check with the
manufacturers of other devices to determine their compatibility with this device.
Note: Parts of the headset are magnetic. Metallic materials may be attracted to
the headset, and persons with a hearing aid or a pacemaker should not hold the
headset to the ear with the hearing aid or close to the pacemaker. Always secure
the ear piece in its holder, because materials may be attracted by the earpiece. Do
not place credit cards or other magnetic storage media near the headset, because
information stored on them may be erased.
Power key (1): Switches the headset on and off. Press the power key briefly to
mute or unmute the ongoing call.
Answer/end key (2): Answers or ends the call. This key can also be used for voice
dialing, redialing, and switching an active call between the headset and the
compatible phone.
Indicator light (3): Displays the current status of the headset.
Volume up (4): Increases the earphone volume during a call.
Volume down (5): Decreases the earphone volume during a call.
Earphone (6): Relays the caller’s voice.
Microphone (7): Picks up your voice.
Charger connector (8)
Battery cover (9)
Before you can start using the headset, you must do the following:
Check the model number of any charger before using it with this device. The headset HS21W is intended for use with the following chargers: AC-1, ACP-12, and LCH-12.
Warning: Use only batteries and chargers approved by Nokia for use with this
particular enhancement. The use of any other types may invalidate any approval
or warranty, and may be dangerous.
For availability of approved enhancements, please check with your dealer. When you
disconnect the power cord of any enhancement, grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.
■ Removing and installing the battery
Before removing the back cover, always switch off the power, and disconnect the
charger from the device. Always store and use the device with the back cover
attached.

4. Replace the battery. Place the connector in the space reserved for it, and set
the battery in place. See Figure 2.4.
1. Connect the charger cable to the headset as shown in
Figure 3.
2. Connect the charger to a wall outlet. The red indicator
light is displayed during charging. If the battery is
completely discharged, it may take a few minutes before
the red indicator is shown. Charging the battery fully
may take up to 2 hours depending on the charger.
3. When the battery is fully charged, the green indicator
light is displayed. Disconnect the charger from the wall
outlet and the headset.
The fully charged battery has power for up to 7 hours of talk-time or up to 180
hours of standby time. (In the standby mode, the paired headset is switched on
but no call is in progress.)
When the battery is running out of power, the headset beeps, and the red
indicator light starts to blink. Charge the battery as described above.
■ Switching the headset on or off
To switch on, press and hold the power key for 2 seconds. The headset beeps and
the green indicator light starts blinking fast. The blinking continues slower after
the headset is connected to your phone.
To switch off, press and hold the power key for 2 seconds. The headset beeps, and
the red indicator light is displayed briefly.
3. Enter the Bluetooth menu of your phone, and make sure that the Bluetooth
feature is activated.
4. Enter the submenu where you can set the phone to search for Bluetooth
devices, and start the search.
5. Select the headset from the list.
6. Enter the passcode 0000 to associate ("pair") and connect the headset to your
phone. In some phones you may need to make the connection separately. See
the user guide of your phone for details.
Once you have entered the passcode, your phone becomes the default phone
for the headset, if the headset was not previously paired with another phone.
See also Using the headset with several phones on page 18.
The headset beeps and appears in the phone menu where you can view the
Bluetooth devices that are currently paired with your phone.
7. Start using the headset (see page 16).
Disconnecting the headset
You can disconnect the headset from your phone when, for example, you want to
connect another device with your phone using the Bluetooth wireless technology.
The headset can be disconnected in the following ways:
• Disconnect the headset in the Bluetooth menu of your phone.
• Move the headset more than 10 meters away from the phone.
The headset is also disconnected if its battery becomes discharged.
Note that you do not need to delete the pairing with the headset to disconnect it.
When you reconnect a paired headset, you are not asked for its passcode.
Connecting the paired headset
To connect the headset to your phone, switch on the headset, make the
connection in the Bluetooth menu of your phone, or press and hold the answer/end key of the headset.
You can set your phone to accept Bluetooth connection requests from your paired
headset. In this case, the headset can connect to your phone automatically when
it is switched on. In Nokia phones this can be done by changing your paired
devices settings in the Bluetooth menu.
■ Troubleshooting
If you cannot connect the headset to your phone, do as follows:
• Make sure that the headset is charged, switched on (the green indicator light
blinks) and paired with your phone.
• Make sure that the Bluetooth feature is activated on your phone.
• Check that the headset is within 10 meters of your phone and that there are no
obstructions between the headset and the phone, such as walls or other
electronic devices.
• Check the pairing information list of the headset; it may be full. The headset
can store the information of up to eight phones at a time. If the list becomes
full, reset the headset to the original settings (see page 19).
• If the headset does not automatically reconnect to the default or last used
phone, press and hold the answer/end key for 2 seconds.
Press the answer/end key twice briefly when no call is in progress.
■ Voice dialing
This function is only available if your phone supports voice dialing. When no call is
in progress, press and hold the answer/end key for 2 seconds, and proceed as
described in the user guide of your phone.
■ Answering and ending a call
Press the answer/end key to answer the call or to end the currently active call. You
can also answer or end the call by using your phone in the normal way.
■ Rejecting a call
If you do not want to answer a call, briefly press the answer/end key twice.
■ Automatic answer
If the automatic answer function is set on in your phone, the phone automatically
answers the incoming call after one ring.
Press the volume up key to increase or the volume down key to decrease the
volume. To adjust the volume quickly, press and hold either of these keys for 2
seconds.
■ Muting a call
You can mute or unmute the ongoing call by pressing the power key briefly.
■ Switching the call between phone and headset
You can switch the active call between the headset and a compatible Nokia
phone.
To switch the call from the headset to a phone and vice versa, press and hold the
answer/end key for 2 seconds, or use the respective function in your phone.
■ Using the headset with several phones
The headset can be paired with up to eight phones but connected to only one
phone at a time.
The phone that was first paired with the headset is called the default phone. The
phone that was last used with the headset is called the last used phone.
If the headset is switched on within 10 meters of several paired phones, the
headset will try to connect to the default phone within a few seconds.
If the headset cannot connect to the default phone (for example, when it is
switched off or its user rejects the connection), the headset tries to connect to the
last used phone within a few seconds. If the headset cannot connect to either of
the phones, it remains discoverable for other phones.
If you want to use the headset with a paired phone that is not a default phone or
last used phone, make the connection in the Bluetooth menu of your phone.
■ Resetting the headset
You can reset the headset to its original settings (for example, to change the
default user of the headset). When you reset the headset, all of its settings,
including pairing information, are cleared.
To reset the headset, press and hold the power key and the volume up key for 10
seconds. After the headset has been reset, it beeps twice, and the red and the
green indicator lights alternate for several seconds.
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The full performance of a new
battery is achieved only after two or three complete charge and discharge cycles.
The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will
eventually wear out. When the talk and standby times are noticeably shorter than
normal, buy a new battery. Use only Nokia approved batteries, and recharge your
battery only with Nokia approved chargers designated for this device.
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use. Do
not leave the battery connected to a charger. Overcharging may shorten its
lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over time.
Temperature extremes can affect the ability of your battery to charge.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery
that is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a
metallic object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes direct connection of the positive
(+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery. (These look like metal strips on the
battery.) This might happen, for example, when you carry a spare battery in your
pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the
connecting object.
Leaving the device in hot or cold places, such as in aclosed car in summer or
winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try
to keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). A device with a hot or
cold battery may not work temporarily, even when the battery is fully charged.
Battery performance is particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire! Dispose of batteries according to local
regulations. Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
Your device is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated with
care. The suggestions below will help you protect your warranty coverage.
• Keep all accessories and enhancements out of the reach of small children.
• Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity and all types of liquids or moisture can
contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits. If your device does get wet, remove
the battery and allow the device to dry completely before replacing it.
• Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts and electronic
components can be damaged.
• Do not store the device in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic
devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.
• Do not store the device in cold areas. When the device returns to its normal temperature,
moisture can form inside the device and damage electronic circuit boards.
• Do not attempt to open the device other than as instructed in this guide.
• Do not drop, knock, or shake the device. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards
and fine mechanics.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the device.
• Do not paint the device. Paint can clog the moving parts and prevent proper operation.
All of the above suggestions apply equally to your device, battery, charger, or any
enhancement. If any device is not working properly, take it to the nearest authorized service
facility for service.
