8 Getting started

Getting started

Pairing the headset with Bluetooth® devices

CAUTION

!Danger of malfunction!

The transmitted radio waves of mobile devices can impair the operation of sensitive and unprotected devices. X Only use Bluetooth where it is permitted.

The headset complies with the Bluetooth 5.0 standard. Bluetooth devices need to support the “Hands-Free Profile” (HFP), the “Headset Profile” (HSP), “Audio Video Remote Control Profile” (AVRCP) or the “Advanced Audio Distribution Profile” (A2DP).

To transmit data via Bluetooth, you first have to pair your headset to a wireless device. The delivered dongle is already

paired with the headset.

The headset can save up to eight paired devices. If you pair the headset with a ninth device, the device with the oldest activity will be overwritten. If you want to re-establish

a connection with this device, you have to pair it again.

The headset can be connected to two of the paired devices at the same time. You can only connect another device by disconnecting one of the already connected devices.

Connecting the headset via the dongle

USB-C

USB-A

To connect the headset wirelessly with a computer, use the BTD 800 USB or BTD 800 USB-C dongle.

The dongle and the headset in the bundles are already paired.

XTurn the headset on (see page 12).

XPlug the dongle into the USB port of your computer.

The dongle LED flashes blue while searching and switches to dimmed blue when connected successfully to the headset.

If Microsoft Teams is invoked: The dongle automatically attempts to connect to Teams and lights up purple instead of blue.

The dongle shows Teams notifications (see page 18).

To manually pair the headset and the dongle, activate the pairing mode for both:

iX Press and hold the headset’s Power button and the dongle’s button until the LEDs alternately flashes blue

and red. Once the dongle and the headset are connected, the dongle lights up dimmed blue.
