CHARGING THE HEADSET Connect charger cord into the headset’s charging port. The MFB’s indicator light may turn blue for several seconds while the headset determines the level of charge the battery is holding. Do not remove the headset from the charger. If the headset is not fully charged, the indicator will turn RED within a short period (less than 3 minutes). When the indicator turns blue—and stays blue—the unit is fully charged. It could take approximately 2.5 hours to achieve a complete charge.
BATTERY POWER INDICATORS While charging, the MFB’s indicator light shows the level of battery power on your VXi VoxStar as follows: Blue light: Fully charged. Over 7 hours’ talk time. Red light: Less than a full charge. For best performance, keep charging headset when not in use.
HEADSET CONTROLS Volume Increase: Quickly press and release the Volume Up/Mute button. Repeat until desired volume is attained. Volume Decrease: Quickly press and release the Volume Down button. Repeat until desired volume is attained. Indicator Lights Multifunction Button (MFB) Volume Down Volume Up/ Mute Microphone Mute/Un-Mute While on a call, hold down the Volume Up/Mute button for 2 seconds until you hear a beep. A mute reminder beep will be heard every 10 seconds. Repeat to un-mute.
ON / STANDBY / OFF Turn Headset On: Hold down the MFB for approximately 2-3 seconds until you hear a voice prompt, “Power on.” The blue light will flash twice every second. Standby Mode: Once the headset is turned on (after the initial pairing), it will attempt to connect to the last device that it was paired with, putting itself into Standby Mode. (The headset can also be put into Standby Mode with a quick press and release of the MFB). The blue light will flash indicating an active Bluetooth link.
PAIRING WITH A CELL PHONE Keep headset and phone no less than 3 inches and no more than 3 feet apart while pairing. Keep other Bluetooth devices at least 50 feet away, or turn them off. NOTE: The headset can be paired with up to 8 different devices but can only be connected to one at a time. It can only switch back and forth between 2 devices in Multipoint Mode. 1. Turn headset off. 2.
PAIRING WITH BT2 USB ADAPTER Your VoxStar UC headset is pre-paired with the BT2 USB Adapter. If you need to re-pair your headset, or pair the BT2 with a different headset, follow these steps: 1. 2. 3. Place the headset into pairing mode. Insert the BT2 into a USB port on the computer. The adapter will initialize and enter pairing mode while the computer installs any necessary driver files. The BT2 LED will flash quickly.
MULTIPLE DEVICE PAIRING The VXi VoxStar UC can pair with up to 8 devices at the same time; however, only one device may be connected to the headset at a time, unless the headset is in Multipoint Mode. Once all devices are paired, the headset will connect to the devices in reverse order of pairing. For instance, if device A, B and C were paired in that order, connection will be established to C first. If C is not available (turned off, out of range), the headset will connect to B, etc.
MULTIPOINT MODE Multipoint Mode allows you to pair and switch between two Bluetooth devices. The headset can be paired with devices before or after enabling Multipoint Mode. ENABLING MULTIPOINT MODE 1. Make sure any other Bluetooth devices are powered off or out of range. 2. Power on the headset, but release the MFB as soon as you hear the voice prompt (in English) “Power On.” The headset should not be connected to any other devices and should display a double-blinking blue light. 3.
MULTIPOINT MODE DISABLING MULTIPOINT MODE Disabling Multipoint Mode does not affect device pairings. 1. Repeat steps 1–3 for enabling Multipoint Mode. 2. If successful, you should hear a 4 descending tone “fanfare.” 3. Power off the headset. Multipoint Mode is now disabled.
PROXIMITY PAIRING Proximity Pairing enables the headset to find the closest “discoverable” phone. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Make sure the headset is powered on. Hold the MFB down and quickly press the Volume Down button. You should hear the voice prompt “discovering” (in English) in the headset. The headset lights will rapidly flash blue. The headset initiates pairing activity, and the user has to accept the incoming pairing invitation on the phone. NOTE: This may include entering the pin number “0000” (four zeros).
MAKING A CALL If you have not paired the headset and phone together yet, you must do so. 1. 2. 3. 4. 18 Turn on your cell phone. Be sure the Bluetooth option is enabled on your phone (refer to your phone’s user guide for instruction). Put headset on and properly position the microphone. Turn the headset on, and wait for it to connect to your phone. Dial the phone and make a call as usual. Or use the headset’s Voice Dial function (if your phone supports it) to make a call.
ANSWERING A CALL In order to answer a call, the headset must be in Standby Mode. 1. 2. When your cell phone rings, you will hear ring tones in the headset. Answer the call by quickly pressing the headset’s MFB and release. You will hear 2 rising tones (and the MFB button will blink blue every second). To end the call, quickly press the MFB on the headset and release. You will hear falling tones and the headset will enter Standby Mode.
OPERATION WHILE USING THE CHARGER/ADAPTER The VoxStar UC headset will operate from battery power or from the AC/DC charger/adapter. NOTE: Do not attach the charger mid-call. This will cause the headset to reset, and the call will be sent back to the phone. When the headset is operating from the battery, all indicator lights and sounds will function as described in this guide.
ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS LAST NUMBER REDIAL To re-dial the last number that was dialed from the cell phone, press and hold the Volume Down button for approximately 1 second. A beep will be heard and the phone will redial the last number. REJECT A CALL To reject an incoming call, press and hold the MFB for 2 seconds. You will hear 2 falling tones and the incoming call will be transferred to your voicemail (if available).
ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS TRANSFER AUDIO To transfer audio from the headset to the cell phone while on a call, press and hold the Volume Down button for 1-2 seconds. The audio will transfer to the phone; repeat to transfer audio back to the headset. When audio is transferred to the phone, the light on the headset will be off until the audio is transferred back to the headset.
RESET PAIRED DEVICES LIST The headset must be on to perform this function. To reset the headset’s internal paired devices list, hold the headset near your ear. Press and hold the Volume Up and the Volume Down buttons simultaneously for approximately 6-10 seconds until two low tones are heard. This procedure may be necessary if the headset will not pair or connect to a device. NOTE: Pairing information for devices previously paired with the headset will be lost.
CALL WAITING / REJECTING A CALL This function is dependent on the features supported by your cell phone. 1. 2. 3. 24 To accept an incoming call while talking on an active call, press the MFB button twice to put the active call on hold. To switch to the original call, quickly press the MFB button once. NOTE: Depending on your phone’s programming, you may be able to switch between calls from the phone’s call handling menu.
SPECIFICATIONS VoxStar UC Headset Range: Up to 66 feet. Best range is achieved with line-of-sight positioning of headset and cell phone. Certain conditions and obstructions, such as wireless devices, placing your phone on a metal surface (such as your vehicle’s hood), walls, etc., can inhibit radio wave transmission and reduce range. Talk Time: 7+ hours on a 2.5-hour charge. Standby Time: Up to 195 hours on a 2.5-hour charge.
