GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Standby Mode – Headset is on, but not in Talk Time mode. The yellow indicator

light will flash slowly, every 4-5 seconds. Standby Mode is automatic after remov­ing headset from the charger. Standby time is up to 100 hours on a full charge.

Talk Time Mode – Talk Time Mode refers to the time that the headset is on and

utilizing Talk Time. The yellow indicator light will flash rapidly, about once every
second. Talk TIme is approximately 6 hours on a full charge.

Pair / Pairing – Pairing is a simple and quick procedure that enables one

Bluetooth product to communicate with another Bluetooth product. You must pair
the B150 headset with other Bluetooth devices before using them together.

OPERATION SUMMARY

The headset allows you to communicate hands free with a Bluetooth enabled device
using the handsfree or headset profile and a passcode of 0000.

COMPATIBILITY INFORMATION

The VXI BlueParrott headset is compatible with other Bluetooth devices using the hands­free/headset profile and a passcode of 0000, including but not limited to Bluetooth cel­lular phones, Bluetooth computers and computer Bluetooth adapters. Please consult
your Bluetooth device’s user manual or contact the product manufacturer for assistance
in setting or checking pass codes and for pairing information. Also compatible with
VXI’s BlueParrott base units for home or office phones and computers.

MAXIMIZING RANGE

The range of communication distance between the headset and another Bluetooth
device varies as follows. If the headset is being used with a Bluetooth cellular phone,
PDA or computer, the range is typically the same as the Bluetooth standard of 33
feet. However, some of these Bluetooth devices may have other enhancements to
provide longer range. Please consult your Bluetooth device’s user manual or contact
the Bluetooth device manufacturer for more information.

The range of communication distance between the headset and a VXI BlueParrott
base unit is up to 75 feet.

Certain environmental conditions can inhibit radio wave transmission and reduce
transmission range, such as metal structured beams or other wireless technologies
inside a building. If range is less than expected, try moving to another location (if
possible). Headset audio quality will suffer when you travel out of range. If this hap­pens, simply move closer to the Bluetooth device to which you have paired the headset.

CHARGING THE HEADSET

Before first time operation, the headset must be charged for
4-8 hours*. The headset can be charged with a VXI
BlueParrott B50 charger (see photo at left) or by being
placed in the base unit of a VXI BlueParrott wireless headset
system (see photo at right). For additional instructions con­sult the user guide that accompanies the B50 charger or the
BlueParrott base unit.

*Charge times vary according to the different charging units
that are available to be used with this headset.

When the headset is fully charged the indicator light on the headset will turn bright
green. After use, this light will turn red when it is placed back in the B50 charger or
BlueParrott base unit indicating less than a full charge. It is not necessary to wait for
the light to turn green before using the headset. Also, it is not necessary to unplug
the B50 charger from the wall or car auxiliary port when the headset is not being
charged. After the initial 4-8 hour charge, each additional 1 hour charge time will
yield approximately 2.5 hours of talk time, up to 6 hours.
