Hint

  • The operation above is an example. For more details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the Android smartphone.

Note

  • If the last connected Bluetooth device is placed near the headset, the headset may automatically connect to the device when you turn on the headset and may not connect to another device.
    If this occurs, cancel the connection on the last connected Bluetooth device or turn off the Bluetooth function on that device.
  • If you cannot connect your Android smartphone to the headset, delete the headset pairing information on your Android smartphone and perform pairing again. As for the operations on your Android smartphone, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the Android smartphone.
  • If there is no pairing history between the headset and the Bluetooth connected device, even when you try to change the mode on the headset, it is not possible to switch from the Bluetooth connection to the USB transceiver connection.
