Keep headset & phone no more than 3 feet apart while pairing
and keep all other Bluetooth devices at least 50 ft. away or turn
them off. Note: The headset can be paired with up to 3 different
devices. Pairing is done just once and not every time a different
device is used.

The blue light on the headset’s MFB should not be fl ashing
(watch for 5-7 seconds to be sure it’s off).

2. Hold down the headset’s MFB until the red and blue lights
fl ash. You will hear 2 rising tones, followed by 4 more tones.
Important: Wait for all tones and for both lights to fl ash. This
may take up to 15 sec. Release the MFB.

3. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for putting your
cellular phone into Bluetooth discovery mode.

4. Wait 5-15 sec. while the devices discover each other.
When the phone discovers the headset (VXI B350), select
“Pair” and enter a pass code of 0000 when instructed. When
pairing is complete the headset’s red light will stop fl ashing
and the phone will prompt you to ‘connect’ to the headset.

headset at a time. To pair the headset with a Bluetooth
cell phone or other Bluetooth device such as a Bluetooth
enabled computer, follow the instructions in panel 6 and

order, connection will be established to C fi rst. If C is
not available (turned off, out of range), the headset will
connect to B, etc.
