Setting up the headset
Charging the headset
Before using the headset, you need to charge the battery.
To charge the battery:
1 Plug the power supply into a power outlet.
2 Plug the other end of the power supply into the headset
charging socket [2]. The indicator light [1] turns green to
indicate the headset battery is charging.
3 Unplug the headset from the power supply after the
indicator light turns off. The headset is fully charged.
Note:
The headset does not work while charging.
If the indicator light remains off when you connect it to the
power supply, the battery is already fully charged and does
not require further charging.
To maximize battery life, do not charge the headset longer
than necessary.
6
When your battery is completely discharged, it takes up to
three hours to fully charge your headset.
Battery life may seem short when you first use the headset.
The battery will fully charge after two or three complete
charge/discharge cycles.
Pairing the headset
Auto-pairing
For added convenience, your headset has an auto-pairing
function so that when you turn the headset on for the first
time, it is already in pairing mode. Your headset should beep
every two seconds to indicate that it is in pairing mode, and
can be paired to your mobile phone.
To pair your headset:
1 Put the mobile phone into pairing mode (see your
mobile phone user manual). Make sure that the mobile
phone is no more than three feet (one meter) away from

2 Select the headset name “RF-SH430”.
3 Enter the PIN number: 0000. If pairing is successful, the
beeping stops and the indicator light begins flashing
every three seconds.
Normal pairing

with another mobile phone.
To pair your headset:
1 Make sure that the headset is turned off.
