The Motorola H500 should be fully charged prior to using the device. The headset comes with an charger that plugs into an electrical outlet. Once plugged into an outlet, connect the other end to the headset. A blue indicator light will come on while the headset is charging. The light turns off once the headset is fully charged. This usually takes about 2 hours. Unplug the headset once it is charged. The H500 is not operational when charging.

Pairing

The H500 needs to be connected, or paired, to your phone before it is operational. The pairing function requires both the headset and the phone. To set the headset in pairing mode, press and hold the "Call" button until the blue indicator light comes on and stays steady. It may blink while you hold the button. Do not let go until it remains lit, which takes approximately 6 to 10 seconds.

Next, set your phone to search for local Bluetooth devices. You may need to refer to your cell phone's instruction manual for information on how to do this. On most phones, locate the Bluetooth option and select "Search for Devices," or other language similar to that command. A list of available Bluetooth devices will show up on the phone when the search is complete. Select "Motorola H500" to pair the phone to the headset. If prompted for a password, enter "0000."

Once the headset is paired to the phone, the blue indicator light will start blinking again.
