4.1 Charging the Headset
Before first use, fully charge the headset. You can charge it using the provided charging base or directly via the USB cable.
- Using the Charging Base: Connect the USB charging cable to the charging base and a power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter). Place the headset onto the charging base. The headset will magnetically align and begin charging.
- Direct Charging: Connect the USB charging cable directly to the Micro USB Charge Port on the headset and a power source.
A red indicator light typically signifies charging, and it will turn blue or off when fully charged. Charging time is approximately 2 hours.
4.2 Bluetooth Pairing
To connect your headset to a Bluetooth-enabled device:
- Ensure the headset is powered off.
- Press and hold the MFB (Multi-Function Button) for approximately 5-7 seconds until the indicator light flashes red and blue alternately, indicating pairing mode.
- On your device (smartphone, PC, etc.), enable Bluetooth and search for new devices.
- Select "BH-M9A" from the list of available devices.
- Once connected, the indicator light will typically turn solid blue or flash blue slowly.
For multi-device connection (up to two devices simultaneously), pair the first device, then disable Bluetooth on the first device. Put the headset back into pairing mode and pair with the second device. Re-enable Bluetooth on the first device, and the headset should automatically connect to both. Note that music playback will only be active from one device at a time.
