Introduction

1. Introduction

With the Nokia Bluetooth Stereo Headset BH-903, you can listen to music and handle calls hands-free on your compatible mobile device. The headset also has a built-in FM radio. 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 your mobile device. It provides important safety and maintenance information.

Check www.nokia.com/support or your local Nokia website for the latest version of the user guide and additional information related to your Nokia product.

Keep the headset and its accessories out of the reach of small children.

Introduction

■ Bluetooth wireless technology

Bluetooth wireless technology allows you to connect compatible devices without cables. A Bluetooth connection does not require that the mobile device and the headset are in line of sight, but the maximum distance between the devices is 10 metres (33 feet). The closer the mobile device and the headset are to each other, the better is 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

2.0 + EDR supporting the following profiles: Headset Profile

1.1, Hands-Free Profile (HFP) 1.5, Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP) 1.0, Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) 1.0, and Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) 1.0. Check

Get started

Before you can start using the headset, you must charge the battery and pair the headset with a compatible device.

Parts of the headset are magnetic. Metallic materials may be attracted to the headset. Do not place credit cards or other magnetic storage media near the headset, because information stored on them may be erased.

■ Chargers

This device is intended for use when supplied with power from the following chargers: AC-3, AC-4, AC-5, and DC-4.

Warning: Use only 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.

When you disconnect the power cord of any enhancement, grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.

■ Charge the battery

Before charging the battery, carefully read “Battery

information,” p. 35.

Get started

1. Connect the charger to a wall outlet.

2. Connect the charger

cable to the charger connector on the headset. When the charging starts,

Charging is briefly

displayed on the headset. During charging, a battery animation is displayed.

It may take a while before charging starts. If charging does not start, disconnect the charger, and plug it in again. Charging the battery fully may take up to 45 minutes.

3. When the battery is fully charged, is displayed.

Disconnect the charger from the headset and the wall outlet.

The fully charged battery has power for up to 11 hours of talk time, up to 150 hours of standby time, up to 11 hours of music playing time, or up to 11 hours of radio playing time. With 20 minutes charging, the battery has power for up to 9 hours of talk time, music playing time, or radio playing time.

Get started

When battery power is low, the headset beeps every 5 minutes and flashes on the display. Recharge the battery.

■ Switch on or off

Switch on

To switch on, press and hold the power key until the headset beeps and the Nokia logo is displayed.

The headset tries to connect to one of the four most recently used devices that support the Hands-Free Bluetooth profile or the most recently used device that supports the A2DP Bluetooth profile.

If the headset has not been paired with a device, it enters the pairing mode. See “Pair and connect the headset,” p. 14.

Switch off

If your mobile phone supports the A2DP Bluetooth profile and has a music player, you can also use the headset to operate the player.

1. Ensure that your phone is switched on.

2. If the headset has not been previously paired with a

device, switch on the headset. The headset automatically enters the pairing mode.

If pairing succeeds, Pairing OK is displayed, and the headset appears in the menu of the phone where you can view the currently paired Bluetooth devices.

Pair and connect the headset with a music device

If your phone does not support the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can separately pair the headset with the phone and a music device 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 a music device.

Get started

To pair the headset with a music device, follow the instructions in “Pair and connect the headset with a phone,” p. 14. If your music device does not have a keypad, it may use the Bluetooth passcode 0000 by default. If this is not the case, see the user guide of your music device to change the default Bluetooth passcode to 0000.

If pairing succeeds, Pairing OK is displayed.
