1. Introduction

The Nokia Wireless Headset (HS-55W) can be used with compatible phones that support Bluetooth wireless technology. This allows you the freedom to make and receive calls while on the move or in the office. 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 out of reach of small children.

Bluetooth wireless technology
Bluetooth wireless technology allows you to connect compatible communication devices without cables. A Bluetooth connection does not require that the phone and the headset be in line of sight, but both devices should be within 10 meters (30 feet) of each other. Connections may be subject to interference from obstructions, such as walls, or other electronic devices. The headset is compliant with the Bluetooth Specification 1.2 supporting the following profiles: Headset Profile 1.1 and Hands-free Profile 1.0. 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.

2. Get started

Overview
The headset contains the following parts:
Power/call key (1) Indicator light (2) Microphone (3) Volume down key (4) Volume up key (5) Earloop (6) Earphone (7) Charger connector (8)
Before you can start to use the headset, you must charge the battery, and pair the headset with a compatible phone.
Note: Parts of the headset are magnetic. Metallic materials may be attracted to the headset. Do not place credit cards or other magnetic storage media near the headset, because information stored on them may be erased.

Chargers and batteries

Check the model number of any charger before using it with this device. The Nokia Wireless Headset (HS-55W) is intended for use with the ACP-12 and LCH-12 chargers. Warning: Use only batteries and chargers approved by Nokia for use with this particular enhancement. The use of any other types may invalidate any approval or warranty, and may be dangerous. For availability of approved enhancements, please check with your dealer. When you disconnect the power cord of any enhancement, grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.

Charge the battery

The headset has an internal, nonremovable, rechargeable battery. Do not attempt to remove the battery from the device, as you may damage the device.
1. Connect the charger cable to the headset. 2. Connect the ACP-12 charger to a wall outlet or the LCH-12 charger to the accessory power outlet of your car. The red indicator light is displayed during charging. Charging the battery fully takes about 2 hours. 3. When the battery is fully charged, the red indicator light is dimmed. Disconnect the charger from the wall outlet or the accessory power outlet and the headset. When you disconnect the power cord of the charger, grasp and pull the plug, not the cord. The fully charged battery has power for up to 10 hours of talktime or up to 250 hours of standby time. However, the talk and standby times may vary when used with different mobile phones, products that use a Bluetooth connection, usage settings, usage styles, and environments. When the battery is running out of power, the headset beeps, and the red indicator light flashes every 5 seconds. Charge the battery.

Switch the headset on or off

In some phones you may need to make the connection separately after pairing. See the user guide of your phone for details. You only need to pair the headset with your phone once. 7. When the headset is connected to the phone and ready for use, the headset beeps, and the blue indicator light flashes every 3 seconds. The headset appears in the phone menu where you can view the currently paired Bluetooth devices.

Troubleshooting

If you cannot connect the headset to your phone, do the following: Ensure that the headset is charged, switched on, and paired with and connected to your phone. Ensure that the Bluetooth feature is activated on your phone. Check that the headset is within 10 meters (30 feet) of your phone and that there are no obstructions between the headset and the phone, such as walls or other electronic devices.

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. Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery 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 15C and 25C (59F and 77F). 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.

Care and maintenance

Your device is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you protect your warranty coverage. Keep all accessories and enhancements out of the reach of small children. Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and all types of liquids or moisture can contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits. If your device does get wet, allow the device to dry completely. Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts and electronic components can be damaged. Do not store the device in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics. Do not store the device in cold areas. When the device returns to its normal temperature, moisture can form inside the device and damage electronic circuit boards. Do not drop, knock, or shake the device. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards and fine mechanics. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the device. Do not paint the device. Paint can clog the moving parts and prevent proper operation. All of the above suggestions apply equally to your device, battery, charger, or any enhancement. If any device is not working properly, take it to the nearest authorized service facility for service.
