For example: “Power on” “Pairing successful” “Talk time (x) hours” “Mute on” “Lost connection” “Recharge headset” USE TWO PHONES Multipoint technology lets you pair a second phone and answer calls from either phone. 1 Power on your headset. 2 Press and hold the Call Control button until the indicator light flashes red and white or you hear “pairing.” 3 While the indicator light flashes red and white, activate Bluetooth on your phone and set it to search for new devices. 4 Select “PLT_M165.” If necessary, enter passkey 0000 and accept the connection. Once successfully paired, the indicator light stops flashing and you hear “pairing successful.” STREAM AUDIO Streaming audio is controlled using your phone, but when a call rings, the audio automatically pauses to allow you to answer or ignore the call. Once the call is ignored or ends, the streaming audio is resumed. DECIPHER THE LIGHTS Your headset has an indicator light that flashes in response to a change in status or after a button press. Some examples of what you will see are: • Solid red until charging complete and then off • Flashing red and white during pairing • Triple red flash when < 30 minutes of talk time • Triple white flash at incoming call SAVE POWER If you leave your headset powered on but out of range of your paired phone for more than 90 minutes, your headset will conserve its battery power by entering into a DeepSleep™ mode. Once back in range with your phone, tap the Call Control button to exit DeepSleep mode. If your phone is also ringing, tap the Call Control button again to answer your call. GET PAIRED The first time you put on your headset and switch it on, it begins voice-guided pairing instructions. Answer a call Choose: • Say “answer” after call is announced, or • Tap the Call Control button End a call Tap the Call Control button to end current call. Reject a call Choose: • Say “ignore” after call is announced, or • Press Call Control button for 2 seconds Use call waiting Double tap the Call Control button to place a current call on hold and answer a new call from the same phone. Double tap the Call Control button again to switch between calls. Call waiting does not work between two paired phones (see Use Two Phones). Use voice dialing Press the Call Control button for 2 seconds, wait for audible prompt depending on your phone and then tell the phone to dial the name of a stored contac…

Plantronics, Inc. Date: 2012-6-19 Federal Communications Commission Authori zation and Evaluation Division FCC ID: AL8-M165 USB function explanation Part 15B testing is not necessary for this device because the USB port is for charge only, no data transmission function. End users are not able to connect to PC for data transmission via USB port. Due to above reasons, this device didn’t perform Part 15B testi ng, and FCC logo shouldn’t be on the label. Your understandi ng will be highly appreciated. Sincerely, Peter Clark/Compliance Manager Plantronics, Inc.
