Pairing and connecting with a Bluetooth device
The operation to register the device that you wish to connect to is called “pairing”. First, pair a device to use it with the headset for the first time.
Before starting the operation, make sure of the following:

- The headset is charged sufficiently.
- The operating instructions of the Bluetooth device is in hand.

Enter pairing mode on this headset.

Set the headset into the charging case.
Put the left unit of the headset (the unit with the tactile dot) back into the left hole of the charging case, put the right unit of the headset back into the right hole of the charging case, insert the units until they click, and then make sure that the units are locked in the charging case.
-
Close the lid of the charging case.
By closing the lid once, the headset units are straightened and locked in place, even if they were not locked in the charging case before.
-
Hold the charging case in your hand and press the lid open button to open the lid.
-
Press and hold the pairing button of the charging case for about 5 seconds or more.
The indicator (blue) on the charging case repeatedly flashes slowly twice in a row and the headset goes into pairing mode.
You can remove the headset from the charging case after entering pairing mode. When you put the headset units into both ears, you will hear a notification sound and the voice guidance say “Pairing”, from both headset units at the same time.

Make the Bluetooth connection from the Bluetooth device.
The headset and Bluetooth device are connected to each other.
Some devices automatically connect with the headset when pairing is complete.
When the headset is stored in the charging case, the indicator (blue) on the charging case flashes slowly for about 5 seconds.
When you are wearing the headset, you will hear a notification sound from both headset units at the same time.

The headset can be paired with up to 8 devices. If a new device is paired after 8 devices are already paired, the registration information of the paired device with the oldest connection date is overwritten with the information for the new device. - When the pairing information for the headset has been deleted from the Bluetooth device.
