Pairing and connecting with an iPhone

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 you start the pairing operation, make sure that:

  • The iPhone is placed within 1 m (3 feet) of the headset.
  • The headset is charged sufficiently.
  • The operating instructions of the iPhone is in hand.
  1. Enter pairing mode on this headset.

    Turn on the headset when you pair the headset with a device for the first time after you bought it or after you initialized the headset (the headset has no pairing information). The headset enters pairing mode automatically.

    When you pair a second or subsequent device (the headset has pairing information for other devices), press and hold the button for about 7 seconds.

    Check that the indicator (blue) repeatedly flashes twice in a row. You will hear a voice guidance “Bluetooth pairing”.

  2. Unlock the screen of the iPhone if it is locked.
  3. Select the Bluetooth setting on the iPhone.
    1. Select [Settings].
    2. Touch [Bluetooth].

    3. Touch the switch to turn on the Bluetooth function.

  4. Touch [WH-XB700].

    If Passkey (*) input is required, input “0000”.

    The headset and iPhone are paired and connected with each other. You will hear a voice guidance “Bluetooth connected”.

    If they are not connected, see “Connecting to a paired iPhone ”.

    If [WH-XB700] does not appear on the display, try again from step 3.

    *A Passkey may be called “Passcode”, “PIN code”, or “Password”.

Hint

Note

  • When registering a device (pairing), [WH-XB700], [LE_WH-XB700], or both may be displayed on the connecting device. When both or [WH-XB700] is displayed, select [WH-XB700]; when [LE_WH-XB700] is displayed, select [LE_WH-XB700].
  • If pairing is not established within 5 minutes, pairing mode is canceled, and the headset turns off. In this case, start the operation over from step 1.
  • Once Bluetooth devices are paired, there is no need to pair them again, except in the following cases:
    • Pairing information has been deleted after repair, etc.
    • When a 9th device is paired.
      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.
    • When the headset is initialized.
      All of the pairing information is deleted. In this case, delete the pairing information for the headset from the device and then pair them again.
  • The headset can be paired with multiple devices, but can only play music from 1 paired device at a time.
