EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY RADIATION

The radiated output power of this internal wireless radio is
far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Never-
theless, the wireless radio shall be used as described in
the manual.

The internal wireless radio operates within guidelines
found in radio frequency safety standards and recom-
mendations, which reflect the consensus of the scientific 
community.

Plantronics therefore believes the internal wireless radio 
is safe for use by consumers. The level of energy emitted is
far less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wire-
less devices such as mobile phones. However, the use of
wireless radios may be restricted in some situations or envi-
ronments, such as aboard airplanes. If you are unsure 
of restrictions, you are encouraged to ask for authorization
before turning on the wireless radio.

– Loosen and remove the two screws on the

bottom of the adapter using a small Philips screwdriver.

– Lift the cover and remove the battery.

 Insert

a new battery so the (+) and (-) symbols correspond

correctly to the labels inside the battery compar

tment.

Replace the bottom cover and insert and tighten the

two screws. Be careful not to over tighten the screws.

Use these instructions only if you replace either the

headset or adapter in your system. Your M1500 

headset and adapter are already paired when you

receive them. 

See Section 7 for instructions on pairing just the head-

set to a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone.

Make sure both devices are turned on. See Section 5

for more details.

Press and HOLD the POWER button on the adapter

unit for about 10 seconds, or until the INDICATOR light

begins to flash red.

Now, PUSH IN and HOLD the headset MUTE/VOL-

UME dial until the INDICATOR light begins to flash.

The pairing process should take about 15–30

seconds.

If pairing is successful, the headset will sound a tone

and both the headset and adapter INDICATOR lights

will turn of

f. 

If pairing fails, the headset INDICATOR will stop blink-

ing after 60 seconds and return to standby mode. It

will not sound a tone. Also, the adapter INDICATOR

will light red for 2 seconds and then turn of

f. Repeat

the pairing process.

You may also use the headset alone with a

compatible Bluetooth mobile device. 

The following instructions show how to pair

your headset to a Bluetooth mobile phone.

Before PAIRING, you will need: (1) your fully

charged headset, (2) your mobile phone user

guide; and (3) your four-digit headset passkey

(located on the passkey card included in your

M1500 package).

To tur

n on your headset, press and HOLD the

TALK/ON-OFF button until the button lights.

See Section 5 for more details. 

Once both devices are turned on, place the

headset and phone within an arm’

s length of

each other.

Following instructions in your mobile phone

user guide, select discover, or pairing, mode

from the Bluetooth options of your phone. 

On your headset, PUSH IN and HOLD the

MUTE/VOLUME key until the INDICATOR 

light begins to blink. Your headset is now 

discoverable. 

Check your mobile phone display and follow

any instructions.

If prompted by your phone, enter your four-

digit passkey.

Some mobile phones and portable devices

will not require a passkey.

If pairing is successful, the headset will sound

a tone and the INDICATOR light will tur

n off. 

Check your mobile phone display to see if

pairing succeeded and follow any instructions.

– If pairing fails, the INDICATOR light

will stop flashing after 60 seconds and your

headset will return to standby without sounding

a tone.

Refer to your mobile phone user guide and

repeat the pairing process.

Test the headset to phone pairing by making a

call. Refer to Section 5, FIG. 5.2 and your

mobile phone user guide for more details.

Customize your headset so it fits comfortably

.

MAINTENANCE/TROUBLESHOOTING

Replace both the headset and adapter batteries every 12 months.

Clean the outside of the headset with a moist cloth once a month. Dirt can decrease the

efficiency of the headset.

What do I do if...

Different models of phones require dif

ferent

plug styles. Check the compatibility sticker

on your M1500 box and make sure the unit

you purchased is compatible with your

model phone.

Check your mobile phone user guide to see

if your phone supports answer/end control

from a headset, then review Section 5.

Make sure both your headset and adapter

are turned on and the batteries are charged.

Make sure the adapter unit is connected

securely and is compatible with your model

phone.

Make sure that the headset’s microphone is

facing your mouth and positioned properly.

Verify that the unit is not in mute mode.

Tur

n up the volume using the volume control

on your headset and on your mobile phone.

Make sure the headset’s speaker is posi-

tioned snugly over your ear.

Check to make sure that the adjustable earloop

is properly positioned and resting gently on 

your ear .

Adjust the height and direction of the ear-

loop, both up and down, front and back, so

pressure is not being exerted on any par

t of

your ear, causing you discomfor

t.   

Gently bend the angle of the flexible ear-

loop to conform to the shape of your ear

. 

The headset, as packaged, is ready to 

be used on your right ear. However

, with

one very simple adjustment, the headset is

easily aligned for your left ear . Please 

see the footnote in Section 4 for detailed

instructions.

are dangerous if swallowed. Always store 
and dispose of batteries where children can’t
reach them.
Observe all signs that require an electrical device
or RF radio product to be switched off in desig-
nated areas. These could include hospitals, blast-
ing areas, and potentially explosive atmospheres.
