Setting up the VMX 100

Charging the battery in the headset
If you charge the battery for the first time, allow charging for at least 4 hours without interruption. Later, 2.5 hours suffice to fully charge the battery. To charge the battery in the headset: Take off the headset and close the microphone boom. The headset is switched off. Connect the USB charging cable to the headsets socket for power supply.
Connect the USB plug of the USB charging cable to: either the USB socket of the VMX 100 power supply or the USB socket of the VMX 100 car charger unit (only VMX 100 3in1) or a USB socket of a computer. Connect either the power supply or the car charger unit to the appropriate power outlet. If the battery was completely drained, the LED flashes red in the beginning of the charging process. During charging, the LED lights up red. When charging is complete, the LED lights up blue. The charging process cannot be started during an ongoing call. A fully charged battery provides a talk time of up to five hours or a standby time of up to 100 hours. When the battery is about to run flat:

The LED flashes red. Three beeps are heard in the headset every 30 seconds (3x). Less than five minutes of talk time are left.
Switching the headset on/off
Open the microphone boom. The headset is switched on. The LED indicates the current operating mode: If the LED flashes slowly in blue, the headset is already paired to a mobile phone. The headset is therefore ready to use. If the LED flashes alternatingly in red and blue, the headset is not yet paired to a mobile phone. Pair it as described under Pairing the headset to mobile phones or other Bluetooth devices on page 11. If the headset is already paired to a mobile phone and if there is an incoming call on your mobile phone, the call is answered immediately by opening the microphone boom without any further action. To switch off the headset: Close the microphone boom. The headset is switched off. The LED stops flashing. All settings are saved. The battery lasts longer, if you switch off the headset when not telephoning with it.
Pairing the headset to mobile phones or other Bluetooth devices
Pairing to a mobile phone To be able to use the headset, you must first pair it to your mobile phone or a similar device with a Bluetooth hands-free or headset profile. Once you have paired the headset to a mobile phone, the headset is connected automatically each time this mobile phone and the headset detect each other. Make sure the headset is switched on and placed close to your mobile phone. If you have not yet paired the headset to a mobile phone, the headset enters the pairing mode automatically. If you have already paired the headset to another mobile phone before, you have to enter the pairing mode manually by opening the microphone boom while pressing the volume button at the same time. The LED flashes alternatingly in red and blue to indicate that the headset is in the pairing mode. On your mobile phone, start a search for Bluetooth devices (see the manual of your mobile phone) and follow any instruction displayed on your mobile phone display.

VMX 100 OK Keyword 0000

Once the headset is detected by your mobile phone, select VMX 100. When the Bluetooth connection is successfully established, the headset is identified as VMX 100 in the mobile phones display. When your mobile phone prompts a keyword, enter four zeros (0000).
If pairing was successful, the LED flashes slowly in blue. Once paired, your mobile phone will be able to transfer the call audio to the headset either automatically or manually (please see your mobile phones manual whether the call audio is transferred automatically or manually). Most mobile phones show a headset symbol in their display, if successfully paired. Pairing to other Bluetooth devices If you wish to pair the headset to other Bluetooth devices, please see the Bluetooth devices manual. Pairing to several mobile phones If you wish to pair the headset to a second mobile phone, you first have to disconnect from the first mobile phone (see the manual of the first mobile phone). The headset saves up to four pairing profiles. As soon as the headset is switched on it tries to connect to the mobile phone that it was last connected to. If this mobile phone is not detected by the headset, you can manually connect it with one of the other three mobile phones (see the manual of the respective mobile phone).

Wearing the headset

Open the microphone boom. The headset is turned on. The LED starts flashing slowly in blue. Put the headset on. You can wear the headset on either the left or right ear without changing it. Turn the microphone boom towards your mouth. The speaker operates in two directions so that you can wear the headset on either your left or right ear without changing it. However, the speaker is designed in a way that other people in the vicinity cannot listen in the other party and are not disturbed by the speaker.

Operating the VMX 100

Telephoning with the VMX 100
Accepting an incoming call Make sure the headset is paired to your mobile phone (see Pairing the headset to mobile phones or other Bluetooth devices on page 11).

Depending on our choice, guarantee service comprises, free of charge, the removal of material and manufacturing defects through repair or replacement of either individual parts or the entire device. Inappropriate usage (e.g. operating faults, mechanical damages, incorrect operating voltage), wear and tear, force majeure and defects which were known at the time of purchase are excluded from guarantee claims. The guarantee is void if the product is manipulated by non-authorised persons or repair stations.
