CONNECTING HEADSET TO DEVICE

To use the Advantage PLUS Headset with a Bluetooth Device, such as a smartphone or lnBSOR SonBRSE YOM RUSS fasts tabu gptelss connection between the Headset ang

PAIRING

The Headset may be paired with Bluetooth devices using one of two methods:

1. Standard Bluetooth pairing where the headset is discovered by the Bluetooth Device.
2. Touch-to-Pair with devices supporting an NFC Connection (typically Android devices and not typically Apple/Iphone devices).

The headset must be within close proximity of the Bluetooth Device to complete pairing. To initiate pairing, Headset must be powered off. If the Headset is ON, turn the Headset OFF by pressing the Multi-Function Button (MFB) for 2.5 seconds.

1.  Initiate Standard Bluetooth pairing by pressing the MFB for 6 seconds – press and hold the button – until you hear “Pairing, Please Wait” and the LED alternately flashes red and blue. Use the  Bluetooth Device’s Bluetooth search and pairing functionality (refer to the Device or Host documentation if necessary) and select “AdvantagePLUS”. If necessary, enter four zeros (0000) for the passcode and accept the connection
2. For Touch-to-Pair, (on Android devices or other devices supporting an NFC Connection), initiate Standard Bluetooth pairing before touching the Headset NFC tag to the NFC tag of the Host. The Headset NFC Tag is located in the Microphone Assembly.
3. Blue Tiger Advantage PLUS User Manual v1.2 Once successfully paired, you will hear “Device Connected” and the LED will flash blue, once every two seconds indicating the Headset and  Bluetooth Device are connected. The Headset may be paired to a new Bluetooth Device using the above procedure. Note that this will undo the pairing to the current Bluetooth Device.  Once the headset and Bluetooth Device have been paired, the Headset and Bluetooth The device will automatically reconnect the next time they are both powered on and in close proximity to each other.

Multipoint Pairing

It may be useful to have the Headset connected to 2 devices simultaneously. For example, to 2 different smartphones, or to a phone and a laptop computer. This is called Multipoint pairing. For Multipoint pairing:

1. Turn off Bluetooth on the 1st connected Device.
2. Turn on Bluetooth on the second Device.
3. Initiate Pairing on the Headset (refer to Pairing section).
4. Pair the Headset with the second Device. You should hear an alert, “Device Connected”.
5. Turn ON Bluetooth on the 1st Device. Using the Device Bluetooth search menu, reconnect to the AdvantagePLUS Headset. You should hear a second “Device Connected” alert. Your Headset is  now connected to both devices and can now accept a call or listen to audio/video from either device. For more information or assistance with Multipoint Pairing, please contact Customer Support (see Warranty and Customer Support section).
