Pairing
What is pairing?
Bluetooth devices need to be
“paired” with each other beforehand.
Once Bluetooth devices are paired,
there is no need for pairing again,
except in the following cases:
• Pairing information is deleted
after repair, etc.
• This unit is paired with 9 or more
devices.
This unit can be paired with up to
8 devices; if a new device is
paired after 8 devices have been
paired, the device whose latest
connection time is the oldest
among the 8 paired devices is
replaced by the new one.
• When recognition of the unit by
the device to be connected is
deleted.
• This unit is initialized.
All pairing information is deleted.
Procedures of pairing
1 Place the Bluetooth
device within 1 m (3 ft)
of this unit.
2 Press and hold the
POWER button for
7 seconds or more to
standby for pairing
while the unit is turned
off.
Notes
• After about 3 seconds, power is
turned on and the indicator (blue)
and indicator (red) flash together
twice. Keep the button pressed
without releasing until both
indicators start flashing together,
then release the button. This unit
enters into pairing mode.
• If pairing is not established within
about 5 minutes, pairing mode will
be cancelled and this unit will turn
off. In this case, start over from
step 1.

5 If Passcode* input is
required on the display
of a Bluetooth device,
input “0000.”
Pairing is complete when the
indicator (blue) flashes slowly.
The message standing for
“Pairing complete” appears on
the display of some Bluetooth
devices.
* Passcode may be called “Passkey,”
“PIN code,” “PIN number,” or
“Password.”
6 Start the Bluetooth
connection from the
Bluetooth device.
This unit memorizes the device
as the last connected device.
Some Bluetooth devices may
connect with the unit
automatically when pairing is
complete.
When pairing with a
Bluetooth device that
cannot display a list of
detected devices or that
has no display
You may pair the device by setting
both this unit and the Bluetooth
device to pairing mode. For details,
refer to the operating instructions
supplied with the Bluetooth device.
Tips
• To pair with other Bluetooth devices,
repeat steps 1 to 5 for each device.

Precautions
On Bluetooth communication
• Bluetooth wireless technology operates
within a range of about 10 meters
(about 30 feet).
Maximum communication range may
vary depending on obstacles (person,
metal, wall, etc.) or electromagnetic
environment.
• The aerial of this unit is built into the
housing for the right ear. The sensitivity
of Bluetooth communication will
improve by placing a connected
Bluetooth device on your right side.
• The following conditions may affect the
sensitivity of Bluetooth communication.
– There is an obstacle such as a person,
metal, or wall between this unit and
Bluetooth device.
– A device using 2.4 GHz frequency,
such as a wireless LAN device,
cordless telephone, or microwave
oven, is in use near this unit.
• Because Bluetooth devices and wireless
LAN (IEEE802.11b/g) use the same
frequency, microwave interference may
occur and resulting in communication
speed deterioration, noise, or invalid
connection if this unit is used near a
wireless LAN device. In such as case,
perform the following.
– Use this unit at least 10 m (about
30 ft) away from the wireless LAN
device.
– If this unit is used within 10 m (about
30 ft) of a wireless LAN device, turn
off the wireless LAN device.
– Install this unit and Bluetooth device
as near to each other as possible.
• Microwaves emitting from a
Bluetooth device may affect the
operation of electronic medical
devices. Turn off this unit and other
Bluetooth devices in the following
locations, as it may cause an accident.
– where inflammable gas is present,
in a hospital, train, airplane, or a
petrol station
– near automatic doors or a fire alarm
• This unit supports security
capabilities that comply with the
Bluetooth standard to provide a
secure connection when the Bluetooth
wireless technology is used, but
security may not be enough
depending on the setting. Be careful
when communicating using Bluetooth
wireless technology.
• We do not take any responsibility for
the leakage of information during
Bluetooth communication.
• Connection with all Bluetooth
devices cannot be guaranteed.
– A device featuring Bluetooth
function is required to conform to
the Bluetooth standard specified by
Bluetooth SIG, and be
authenticated.
– Even if the connected device
conforms to the above mentioned
Bluetooth standard, some devices
may not be connected or work
correctly, depending on the features
or specifications of the device.
– While talking on the phone hands
free, noise may occur, depending
on the device or communication
environment.
• Depending on the device to be
connected, it may require some time
to start communication.

What is Bluetooth wireless technology?
Bluetooth wireless technology is a
short-range wireless technology that
enables wireless data
communication between digital
devices, such as a computer or
digital camera. Bluetooth wireless
technology operates within a range
of about 10 meters (about 30 feet).
Connecting two devices as
necessary is common, but some
devices can be connected to
multiple devices at the same time.
You do not need to use a cable for
connection, nor is it necessary for
the devices to face one another, such
is the case with infrared technology.
For example, you can use such a
device in a bag or pocket.
Bluetooth standard is an
international standard supported by
thousands of companies all over the
world, and employed by various
companies worldwide.
