is the default phone. When you switch on the headset, it tries to connect
to the default phone if the phone is located within 10 meters (30 feet).
If the headset cannot connect to the default phone, the headset first
tries to connect to the last used phone, then to the other paired phones.

between the paired players, press the rewind and fast forward keys at
the same time.

press the power key until the indicator light starts to alternately flash
red, green, and blue.

If the headset stops functioning, although it has been charged, you need
to reset it. Press and hold the power key, and, at the same time, plug the
headset into a charger. The reset does not clear your pairing and volume
settings.

Battery information

4. Battery information

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. 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 device connected to a charger, since overcharging may shorten
the battery lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge
over time.

Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery
that is damaged.

Leaving the device in hot or cold places, such as in a closed 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 as they may explode. Batteries may also
explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations.
Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.

17

Care and maintenance

Care and maintenance

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.

• Do not attempt to remove the battery from the device. Nokia recommends to
take it to the nearest authorized service facility for replacement of the battery.

• 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.

• Use chargers indoors.

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.
