Ŷ Repairs to the device during the warranty period may only be

carried out by a customer service department authorised by the

manufacturer. Otherwise, no warranty claims will be held for any

subsequent damages.

Ŷ Defective components must always be replaced with original

replacement parts. Compliance with the safety requirements can

only be guaranteed by using these replacement parts.

Ŷ Never operate the device in the vicinity of naked ﬂames (e.g.

candles), and do not place burning candles on or next to the

device. This will help to prevent ﬁres.

Ŷ Do not expose the device to water spray or dripping water, and

do not place liquid-ﬁlled objects such as vases or open drinks

containers on or near the device.

Ŷ Never subject the device to extreme heat or humidity. This par-

ticularly applies to storage in a car. If the car is at a standstill for

longer periods and the weather is warm with solar irradiation,

high temperatures occur in the car interior and the glove compart-

ment. Remove electrical and electronic devices from the vehicle.

Ŷ Always unplug the car charger adapter by pulling on the plug –

do not pull the cable itself.

Ŷ Do not place any items of furniture or other heavy objects on the

cable and ensure that it cannot become bent.

Ŷ The cable must be routed so it does not interere with the opera-

tion of the vehicle. The cable may not be routed in the deployment

area of the airbag, otherwise this could cause serious injuries if the

airbag is triggered.

Ŷ Do not use any adapter or extension cable to connect the car

charger adapter to the power supply.

Ŷ

ATTENTION! Comply with all local laws. Your hands must

always be free to operate the vehicle safely when you are driv-

ing. Traﬃc safety must always take priority whilst driving.

Ŷ Only operate the hands-free set on those occasions in which the

traﬃc situation permits it and in which you will not endanger,

injure, obstruct or cause annoyance to other road users. Therefore

you should only operate the hands-free set in a stationary vehicle.

Ŷ Do not allow yourself to be distracted from the traﬃc situation by

operating the hands-free set or reading its display. Before starting

your journey, familiarise yourself with how to use the device and

practice how to use it safely.

Ŷ Always position the hands-free set in your vehicle so that it does

not obstruct your view and is not mounted in a personal impact

zone or the deployment area of the airbag. Read the instruction

manual of the vehicle manufacturer.

Ŷ Always position the hands-free set in your vehicle so that it does

not interfere with your operation of the vehicle, ideally on the sun

visor.

Notes on the radio interface

Ŷ Keep the device at least 20 cm away from a pacemaker, as the

proper functioning of the pacemaker could be aﬀected by radio

waves.

Ŷ The transmitted radio waves can cause noise interference in hearing

aids.

Ŷ Do not use the device with the radio components switched on

in the presence of ﬂammable gases or in a potentially explosive

atmosphere (e.g. in a paint shop), as the transmitted radio waves

can cause an explosion or ignite a ﬁre.

Ŷ The range of the radio waves is dependent on the environment

and the ambient conditions.

Ŷ Data transmissions via a wireless connection can be intercepted

by unauthorised third parties.

Auto power function

The auto power function enables you to set the device so that it

switches back on automatically and connects to a known mobile

phone as soon as the built-in vibration sensor is activated.

If the device has lost its connection to a mobile phone, e.g. due to

excessive distance, and it has not been restored within 10 minutes,

it will switch to auto power function (if this has been previously acti-

vated). If there is a vibration, e.g. caused by opening the car door,

the device switches back on and auto matically attempts to connect

to known mobile phones for about 2 minutes. If there is no known

mobile phone in range, the device switches back to auto power func-

tion. The auto power function also works if you have switched the

device oﬀ manually.

NOTE

► It is however possible that the automatic connection cannot be

made depending on the mobile phone used. If this happens, press

the multifunction button

to restore the connection.

► With some mobile phones, the connection must also be

conﬁrmed on the mobile phone itself. Please also refer to the

operating instructions for the respective mobile phone.

► You can only switch on the auto power function if the hands-

free set is not in pairing mode.

► If you do not have your phone with you during your journey,

we recommend switching oﬀ the auto power function. In this

way you can prevent the device from switching itself on and oﬀ

due to vehicle movements.

♦ Press and hold the mute button

for about 2 seconds to

turn on the auto power function. The operating LED

brieﬂy

lights up green.

♦ Press and hold the mute button again for about 2 sec-

onds to turn oﬀ the auto power function. The operating LED

lights up brieﬂy green three times.

Multipoint function

The multipoint function allows you to use the hands-free set with two

mobile phones simultaneously. This is useful for users with a private

and a business mobile phone.

♦ The pairing of additional mobile phones is carried out in the

same manner as described in the section “Pairing the hands-

free set with a compatible mobile phone”. Start the pairing

process for each phone with the hands-free set switched oﬀ.

If you have paired several mobile phones, the hands-free set will now

have several “known” devices available. This status is a prerequisite

for an active connection between the hands-free set and other

mobile phones. A maximum of 8 mobile phones can be saved as

“known” devices. The number of devices that can be actively linked

to the hands-free set is limited to two.

As soon as one or two of the known devices come into range of the

hands-free set, the connection to the devices is made automatically.

In some cases, you must conﬁrm the connection manually on your

mobile phone. If a third “known” device comes into range of the

hands-free set, the connection to this device will remain blocked until

one of the two active connections is broken or one of the two devices

leaves the transmission range. If the connection of one of the paired

devices is broken, the link becomes free for the third (waiting) device.

If two mobile phones are linked to the hands-free set, diﬀerent ring

tones are used for incoming calls.
