USER INSTRUCTIONS FOR BLUETOOTH® FUNCTIONS

Charge the headset prior to first use! See Charging section of the user manual.
Depending on the phone model and application, some functions may not be supported or may have to be operated on the phone. The first time you use the headset you need to establish a wireless link, “pairing”, for communication between the units. Pairing is only needed once, for each pair of units. The headset can store up to 8 different units in its memory.

PAIRING: Enter pairing mode by pressing and holding down both volume buttons (+ / -) for 2 seconds until the LED flashes RED/BLUE.
Activate Bluetooth® on your phone (or other unit) and select “Hellberg Xstream MP” in the list. (See the user instruction for your phone). If the phone requires a PIN code, enter four zeros (0000).
An audio signal with 2 tones is heard in the headset, when the pairing is completed. The headset LED flashes blue. If pairing fails, switch off the headset and start the pairing process again. The pairing link is automatically established with the phone the next time the headset is switched on.

• ON: Press and hold down the On/Off button (A14). An audio signal confirms that the headset is switched on and the LED flashes blue.
• OFF: Press and hold down the On/Off button for 4 seconds. An audio signal confirms that the headset is switched off.

Pairing with a second Bluetooth® unit

1. Re-enter pairing mode by pressing and holding down both volume buttons for 2 seconds. An audio signal confirms pairing mode and the first paired unit is temporarily disconnected during paring with the second unit.
2. Start the Bluetooth® function on your second unit and search for and connect to Hellberg Xstream MP. An audio signal confirm unit 2 is connected.
3. Re-connect unit 1 by selecting Hellberg Xstream MP in the display of unit 1. An audio signal confirm unit 1 is connected.

IMPORTANT! If 2 units are connected, the headset will activate the voice dial function on the first paired unit, or on the unit that has the last outgoing call.

Music streaming from a Bluetooth® unit

1. Switch on the headset (see earlier steps).
2. Start the music player on the phone (or other unit).
3. Play/Pause by pressing briefly on the On/Off button.
4. Adjust the volume by pressing the volume buttons UP/DOWN (A12, A13).
5. Move to the next track by pressing and holding down the Volume UP button for 2 seconds.
6. Play the song from the beginning by pressing and holding down the Volume DOWN button for 2 seconds.
7. Move to the previous track by pressing and holding down the Volume DOWN button for 4 seconds.

Answer/End/Reject call
Most phones send their own call signal to the headset. If not, 7 varying tones indicate an incoming call.

1. Answer a call by briefly pressing on the On/Off button. 4 ascending tones confirm the call is connected.
2. End a call by briefly pressing the On/Off button. 4 descending tones confirm the call is disconnected.
3. To reject a call, press and hold down the On/Off button for 2 seconds. 2 tones will confirm.

Voice dial from headset via connected phone
See the user instruction for your phone if it supports voice dial.

1. Press and hold the On/Off button for 3 seconds and release. An audio signal confirms the function is activated.
2. Speak your voice dial command.
   Most phones that support voice-controlled dialling will send an acknowledgment signal when to speak your voice dial command.

Adjusting the volume during a call

1. Increase the volume by pressing the Volume UP button (A13)
2. Decrease the volume by pressing the Volume DOWN button (A12)

Broken Bluetooth® link
If the Bluetooth® link is broken due to exceeding the range (more than 10 meters) 3 tones will be heard in the headset and will auto-connect when back within range. If no link has been established within 4 hours, the headset will automatically switch off. Press and hold the On/Off button for 3 seconds to restart the headset.

Level Dependent “Active Listening” function
Press and hold the LD button (A15) to switch the Active Listening function ON. An audio signal confirms the function is activated. The volume is adjustable in 5 levels.

Information required by E.P.A. (US)

The level of noise entering a person’s ear, when hearing protector is worn as directed, is closely approximated by the difference between the A weighted environmental noise level and the NRR.
Example:

1. The environmental noise level as measured at the ear is 92 dBA.
2. The NRR is 25 decibels (dB).
3. The level of noise entering the ear is approximately equal to 67 dB.

Caution. For noise environments dominated by frequencies below 500 Hz the C-weighted environmental noise level shall be used. Warning. Improper fit of this device will reduce its effectiveness in attenuating noise. Although hearing protectors can be recommended for protection against the harmful effects of impulsive noise, NRR is based on the attenuation of continuous noise and may not be accurate indicator of the protection attainable against impulsive noise such as gunfire.
