Ŷ Repairs to the device during the warranty period may only be
carried out by a customer service department authorised by the
manufacturer. Otherwise, no warranty claims will be held for any
subsequent damages.
Ŷ Defective components must always be replaced with original
replacement parts. Compliance with the safety requirements can
only be guaranteed by using these replacement parts.
Ŷ Never operate the device in the vicinity of naked flames (e.g.
candles), and do not place burning candles on or next to the
device. This will help to prevent fires.
Ŷ Do not expose the device to water spray or dripping water, and
do not place liquid-filled objects such as vases or open drinks
containers on or near the device.
Ŷ Never subject the device to extreme heat or humidity. This par-
ticularly applies to storage in a car. If the car is at a standstill for
longer periods and the weather is warm with solar irradiation,
high temperatures occur in the car interior and the glove compartment. Remove electrical and electronic devices from the vehicle.
Ŷ Always unplug the car charger adapter by pulling on the plug –
do not pull the cable itself.
Ŷ Do not place any items of furniture or other heavy objects on the
cable and ensure that it cannot become bent.
Ŷ The cable must be routed so it does not interere with the opera-
tion of the vehicle. The cable may not be routed in the deployment
area of the airbag, otherwise this could cause serious injuries if the
airbag is triggered.
Ŷ Do not use any adapter or extension cable to connect the car
charger adapter to the power supply.
ATTENTION! Comply with all local laws. Your hands must
Ŷ
always be free to operate the vehicle safely when you are driving. Traffic safety must always take priority whilst driving.

Ŷ Only operate the hands-free set on those occasions in which the
traffic situation permits it and in which you will not endanger,
injure, obstruct or cause annoyance to other road users. Therefore
you should only operate the hands-free set in a stationary vehicle.
Ŷ Do not allow yourself to be distracted from the traffic situation by
operating the hands-free set or reading its display. Before starting
your journey, familiarise yourself with how to use the device and
practice how to use it safely.
Ŷ Always position the hands-free set in your vehicle so that it does
not obstruct your view and is not mounted in a personal impact
zone or the deployment area of the airbag. Read the instruction
manual of the vehicle manufacturer.
Ŷ Always position the hands-free set in your vehicle so that it does
not interfere with your operation of the vehicle, ideally on the sun
visor.
Notes on the radio interface
Ŷ Keep the device at least 20 cm away from a pacemaker, as the
proper functioning of the pacemaker could be affected by radio
waves.
Ŷ The transmitted radio waves can cause noise interference in hearing
aids.
Ŷ Do not use the device with the radio components switched on
in the presence of flammable gases or in a potentially explosive
atmosphere (e.g. in a paint shop), as the transmitted radio waves
can cause an explosion or ignite a fire.
Ŷ The range of the radio waves is dependent on the environment
and the ambient conditions.
Ŷ Data transmissions via a wireless connection can be intercepted
by unauthorised third parties.

Notes on batteries and rechargeable batteries
DANGER
Mishandling batteries can cause fires, explosions,
leakages or other hazards!
► The hands-free set may only be used with a Li-ion battery, type
BL-5B. Otherwise, there is a risk of fire and/or explosion!
► Keep batteries out of the hands of children.
► Do not leave batteries lying around. There is a risk of them
being swallowed by children or pets. If this happens, consult a
doctor immediately!
► Never short-circuit, dismantle, deform or reverse the polarity
of batteries, and never throw them into a fire. There is a risk of
explosion!
► Leaking or damaged batteries can cause skin irritations when
touched. Therefore, use suitable protective gloves. If the
product comes in contact with your skin, rinse with plenty of
water. If the chemicals come into contact with your eyes, rinse
thoroughly with plenty of water, do not rub and consult a doc-
tor immediately.
► During extended periods of non-use (e.g. during storage),
remove the battery from the hands-free set to prevent damage
caused by battery leakage.

Auto power function
The auto power function enables you to set the device so that it
switches back on automatically and connects to a known mobile
phone as soon as the built-in vibration sensor is activated.
If the device has lost its connection to a mobile phone, e.g. due to
excessive distance, and it has not been restored within 10 minutes,
it will switch to auto power function (if this has been previously activated). If there is a vibration, e.g. caused by opening the car door,
the device switches back on and auto matically attempts to connect
to known mobile phones for about 2 minutes. If there is no known
mobile phone in range, the device switches back to auto power function. The auto power function also works if you have switched the
device off manually.
NOTE
► It is however possible that the automatic connection cannot be
made depending on the mobile phone used. If this happens, press
the multifunction button
► With some mobile phones, the connection must also be
confirmed on the mobile phone itself. Please also refer to the
operating instructions for the respective mobile phone.
► You can only switch on the auto power function if the hands-
free set is not in pairing mode.
► If you do not have your phone with you during your journey,
we recommend switching off the auto power function. In this
way you can prevent the device from switching itself on and off
due to vehicle movements.

♦ Press and hold the mute button again for about 2 sec-

Multipoint function
The multipoint function allows you to use the hands-free set with two
mobile phones simultaneously. This is useful for users with a private
and a business mobile phone.
♦ The pairing of additional mobile phones is carried out in the
same manner as described in the section “Pairing the hands-free set with a compatible mobile phone”. Start the pairing
process for each phone with the hands-free set switched off.
If you have paired several mobile phones, the hands-free set will now
have several “known” devices available. This status is a prerequisite
for an active connection between the hands-free set and other
mobile phones. A maximum of 8 mobile phones can be saved as
“known” devices. The number of devices that can be actively linked
to the hands-free set is limited to two.
As soon as one or two of the known devices come into range of the
hands-free set, the connection to the devices is made automatically.
In some cases, you must confirm the connection manually on your
mobile phone. If a third “known” device comes into range of the
hands-free set, the connection to this device will remain blocked until
one of the two active connections is broken or one of the two devices
leaves the transmission range. If the connection of one of the paired
devices is broken, the link becomes free for the third (waiting) device.
If two mobile phones are linked to the hands-free set, different ring
tones are used for incoming calls.
