With the Stereo Bluetooth™ Headset SBH20 you can control incoming and outgoing
phone calls while you listen to music in stereo from your phone or from another
device. Such a device must support Bluetooth™, for example, a computer or a
portable music player. During a call, the music pauses automatically and starts
playing again when the call ends.
Before using the Stereo Bluetooth™ Headset SBH20 for the first time, you need to
charge the headset for approximately 2.5 hours. Sony chargers are recommended.
To charge the battery
1
Plug the charger into a power outlet.
2
Plug one end of the USB cable into the charger (or into the USB port of a
computer).
3
Plug the other end of the cable into the Micro USB port on your Stereo
Bluetooth™ Headset SBH20 device.
Notification light will display the charging status after you turn off the headset.
Turning on the headset
To turn on the headset
•
Move the switch upwards.
Pairing the headset with your phone
You can pair the headset with your phone manually or using NFC. After successful
pairing, the headset connects automatically to the phone as soon as the headset is
turned on and within range.
Use Multipoint technology to connect your headset to two Bluetooth™ devices at the
same time. For example, if you connect your headset with two phones, you can
receive calls from both phones without having to disconnect and reconnect.
If you prefer that your headset connects to just one Bluetooth™ device at any given
time, you can use Singlepoint mode instead. Before pairing your headset with a new
device in Singlepoint mode, make sure that you disconnect it from other devices.
Multipoint mode consumes more battery power than Singlepoint mode.
To switch between Multipoint mode and Singlepoint mode
1
Make sure that the headset is turned off.
2
Put the headphones in your ears.
3
To enter Multipoint mode, press and hold down the volume up key while
turning on the headset. After Multipoint mode is activated, you will hear two
beeps.
4
To enter Singlepoint mode, press and hold down the volume down key while
turning on the headset. After Singlepoint mode is activated, you will hear one
beep.
In order to connect to both paired devices in Multipoint mode, you need to restart the
headset.
Make sure your phone supports the Bluetooth handsfree profile.
