Introduction
1. Introduction
With the Nokia Bluetooth Stereo Headset BH-504, you can make and answer
calls hands-free with your compatible mobile phone and listen to music from
a compatible music player.
You can use the headset with compatible devices that support Bluetooth
wireless technology.
Read this user guide carefully before using the headset. Also, read the user
guide for the device that you connect to the headset. For more information,
see www.nokia-asia.com/support or your local Nokia website.
The product may contain small parts. Keep them out of the reach of small
children.
■ Bluetooth wireless technology
Bluetooth wireless technology allows you to
connect compatible devices without cables.
The headset and the other device do not
need to be in line of sight, but they should
be within 10 metres (33 feet) of each other.
The closer the headset and the other device
are to each other, the better the
performance. The optimal operating range is
shown in dark grey in the picture. The
connection is subject to interference from
distance and obstructions (shown in light
grey) or other electronic devices.
The headset is compliant with the Bluetooth Specification 2.1 + EDR
supporting the following profiles: Headset Profile 1.1, Hands-Free Profile
(HFP) 1.5, Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) 1.0, and Audio Video
Remote Control Profile 1.0. Check with the manufacturers of other devices to
determine their compatibility with this device.

Charging the battery for 15 minutes provides about 4 hours of talk time or
music playing time. Charging the battery fully may take up to 45 minutes.
3. When the battery is fully charged, the green indicator light is displayed.
Disconnect the charger from the headset, then from the wall outlet.
The fully charged battery has power for up to 9 hours of talk time, up to 90
hours of standby time, or up to 7 hours and 30 minutes of music playing time.
When the battery is discharged, the headset beeps about every minute, and
the red indicator light flashes slowly.
■ Switch the headset on or off
Switch on
To switch on, press and hold the multifunction key for about 2 seconds. The
headset beeps, and the green indicator light is briefly displayed.
When the headset tries to connect to the last used phone or music player, the
green indicator light flashes slowly. When the headset is connected to a
device and is ready for use, the blue indicator light flashes slowly. If the
headset has not been paired with a device, it automatically enters the pairing
mode (see “Pair the headset with phone or music player”, p. 6).
Switch off
To switch off, press and hold the multifunction key for about 5 seconds. The
headset beeps, and the red indicator light is briefly displayed. If the headset is
not connected to a device within about 10 minutes, it switches off
automatically.
■ Pair the headset with phone or music player
If your phone supports the A2DP Bluetooth profile and has a music player
feature, you can use the phone to also play music with the headset.
If your phone does not support the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can separately
pair the headset with the phone and a music player that supports this profile.
If you have paired and connected the headset with your phone, disconnect the
headset from it before pairing the headset with the music player.

Battery and charger information
4. Battery and charger information
This device has an internal, nonremovable, rechargeable battery. Do not attempt to
remove the battery from the device as you may damage the device. This device is
intended for use when supplied with power from the following chargers: AC-4, AC-5,
AC-8, DC-4, and DC-9. The exact charger model number may vary depending on the
type of plug. The plug variant is identified by one of the following: E, EB, X, AR, U, A, C,
or UB. 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. Use of an unapproved charger may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
If a battery is being used for the first time or if the battery has not been used for a
prolonged period, it may be necessary to connect the charger, then disconnect and
reconnect it to begin charging the battery. If the battery is completely discharged, it
may take several minutes before the charging indicator light is displayed.
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use. Do not
leave a fully charged battery connected to a charger, since overcharging may shorten its
lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over time.
Always try to keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Extreme
temperatures reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. A device with a hot or
cold battery may not work temporarily. 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.
Never use any charger that is damaged.
Important: Operating times are estimates only and depend on network
conditions, features used, battery age and condition, temperatures to which
battery is exposed, and many other factors.

Care and maintenance
Care and maintenance
Your device is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated
with care. The following suggestions will help you protect your warranty coverage.
• 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,
allow it to dry completely.
• 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.
• 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.
These suggestions apply equally to your device, charger, or any accessory. If any device
is not working properly, take it to the nearest authorised service facility for service.
