Pairing and connecting with other Bluetooth devices
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 Bluetooth device is placed within 1 m (3 feet) of the headset.
- The headset is charged sufficiently.
- The operating instructions of the Bluetooth device is in hand.
-
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”.
-
Perform the pairing procedure on the Bluetooth device to search for this headset.
[WH-XB700] will be displayed on the list of detected devices on the screen of the Bluetooth device.
If it is not displayed, repeat from step 1.
-
Select [WH-XB700] displayed on the screen of the Bluetooth device for pairing.
If Passkey (*) input is required, input “0000”.
*A Passkey may be called “Passcode”, “PIN code”, or “Password”.
-
Make the Bluetooth connection from the Bluetooth device.
Some devices automatically connect with the headset when the pairing is complete. You will hear a voice guidance “Bluetooth connected”.
Hint
- The above procedure is an example. For more details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the Bluetooth device.
- To delete all Bluetooth pairing information, see “Initializing the headset to restore factory settings”.
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.
