1. Introduction
The Nokia Bluetooth Headset BH-800 allows you freedom to make and
receive calls while on the move or in the office. You can connect the
headset to a compatible phone that supports Bluetooth wireless
technology.
Read this user guide carefully before using the headset. Read also the user
guide for your phone, which provides important safety and maintenance
information. Keep the headset and its accessories out of reach of small
children.
■ Bluetooth wireless technology
Bluetooth wireless technology allows
you to connect compatible devices
without cables. A Bluetooth connection
does not require that the phone and the
<10m
headset be in line of sight, but the
maximum distance between the devices
is 10 meters (30 feet). The closer the
phone and the headset are to each
other, the better is the performance. The
optimal operating range is shown in
dark grey in the picture. The connection
is subject to interference from distance and obstructions (shown in light
grey) or other electronic devices.
5
I n t r o d u c t i o n
The headset is compliant with the Bluetooth Specification 2.0 + EDR
supporting the following profiles: Headset Profile 1.1 and Hands-Free
Profile 1.5. Check with the manufacturers of other devices to determine
their compatibility with this device.
There may be restrictions on using Bluetooth technology in some
locations. Check with your local authorities or service provider.

To use the headset without the earloop, plug the headset into your ear (1),
and point the headset toward your mouth.
To use the headset with the earloop, insert the earloop into the small
opening at the back of the headset (2). To wear the headset on the right
ear, rotate the earloop so that the loop is to the right of the "Nokia" text.
Slide the earloop over your ear (3), and push or pull the earloop to set its
length (4). Set the headset so that it points toward your mouth.
To use the headset on the left ear, rotate the earloop so that the loop is to
the left of the text (5).

■ Call handling
To make a call, use your phone in the normal way when the headset is
connected to your phone. The blue indicator light flashes slowly during
the call.
If your phone supports redialing with this device, briefly press the answer/
end key twice when no call is in progress.
If your phone supports voice dialing with this device, press and hold the
answer/end key when no call is in progress, and proceed as described in
the user guide of your phone.
When you receive a call, the blue indicator light flashes quickly, and you
hear a ringing tone through the headset. To answer the call, press the
answer/end key, or use the phone keys. If the automatic answer function
is on, the phone automatically answers the incoming call after one ring.

■ Adjust the earphone volume
Press the volume key up to increase or down to decrease the volume
during a call. To adjust the volume quickly, press and hold the key in the
desired direction.
■ Mute or unmute the microphone
To mute or unmute the microphone during a call, briefly press the middle
of the volume key. A long tone is played, and the headset beeps at regular
intervals until you unmute the microphone.
■ Switch the call between phone and headset
To switch the call between the headset and a compatible phone, press and
hold the answer/end key, or use the respective function in your phone.
■ Use the headset with several phones
You can pair the headset with up to eight phones but connect it to only
one phone at a time.
The phone that was first paired with the headset is the default phone. If
the headset is switched on within 10 meters (30 feet) of several paired
phones, the headset tries to connect to the default phone.
If the headset cannot connect to the default phone, the headset tries to
connect to the last used phone. If the headset cannot connect to this
phone either, one of the other six paired phones can be connected to the
headset. To make the connection, see the user guide of your phone.
15
B a s i c u s e
■ Clear the settings
If you want to clear all the settings from the headset (for example, the list
of paired devices), press and hold the power key and the volume key up for
10 seconds. After the settings are cleared, the headset beeps twice, and
the indicator lights alternate for several seconds.

4. Battery information
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The full performance of a new
battery is achieved only after two or three complete charge and discharge cycles.
The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually
wear out. Recharge your battery only with Nokia approved chargers designated for
this device.
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use. Do not
leave a fully charged battery connected to a charger, since overcharging may
shorten its lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over
time.
Never use any charger that is damaged.
Leaving the device in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter
conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep
the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). A device with a hot or cold
battery may not work temporarily, even when the battery is fully charged. Battery
performance is particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Batteries may also
explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Please
recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
