GLOSSARY OF TERMS

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

the B150 headset with other Bluetooth devices before using them together.

OPERATION SUMMARY

The BlueParrott B150 wireless 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 B150 headset is compatible with other Bluetooth devices using the handsfree
or headset profile, including but not limited to Bluetooth cellular phones,
Bluetooth computers and computer Bluetooth adapters. The passcode must be set

MAXIMIZING RANGE

The range of communication distance between the BlueParrott B150 headset and
another Bluetooth device is typically the same as the Bluetooth standard of 33 feet.
However, certain 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.

Certain environmental conditions can inhibit radio wave transmission and reduce
transmission range, such as metal structured beams and other wireless devices 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 with which you are using the headset.
