Setup Guide

1. Charging the Headset

Before first use, fully charge the headset. Use the included USB charging cable. Connect the micro-USB end to the headset's charging port and the standard USB end to a USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter 5V/1A). The charging time is approximately 3 hours. The indicator light will change to show charging status (e.g., red for charging, off or blue for fully charged).

2. Powering On/Off

  • To Power On: Press and hold the Power button (often indicated by a circle with a vertical line) for a few seconds until an indicator light illuminates and you hear an audible prompt.
  • To Power Off: Press and hold the Power button again for a few seconds until the indicator light turns off and you hear an audible prompt.

3. Bluetooth Pairing

The headset automatically connects to the last paired device upon powering on. For first-time pairing or pairing with a new device:

  1. Ensure the headset is powered on and in pairing mode (often indicated by a rapidly flashing blue/red light). If not, you may need to press and hold the Bluetooth button or power button until it enters pairing mode.
  2. On your Bluetooth-enabled device (smartphone, tablet, laptop), go to the Bluetooth settings.
  3. Search for available devices. The headset should appear as "BT-S15" or similar.
  4. Select "BT-S15" to connect. Once paired, the indicator light will typically turn solid blue or flash slowly, and you will hear a confirmation sound.
