I got a new phone the other day and found that I'd forgotten how to pair up my Motorola HS-850 headset.
(Naturally, the little how-to booklet had been hanging around for nearly two years and finally got chucked just a few weeks ago. "... you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone.")
So; for the next time this happens to you or to me, here are the instructions for pairing your Motorola bluetooth and phone.
- Make sure that your headset and phone are both charged Bluetooth headset into pairing mode.
- Check that the Bluetooth feature on your phone is turned on. Look in the "Settings" menu on the phone to find it. The Bluetooth power must be set to ON position to pair the device.
- Start with your headset powered off and the boom mic closed.
- Press & hold the multifunction button on the headset until you see a solid blue light. Then...
- Release the button and immediately open the headset boom.
(The headset indicator should remain on. If it doesn't start this part over at step 3.)
- Your headset is now in pairing mode and waiting to for a pass from your handset.
- Now; on your phone go back to the Bluetooth settings and select the options to "pair with" or "find" or "add a new device." Press the buttons to make it do that and in a few seconds you should see the name of your headset -- like "Motorola HS850" -- show on your phone.
- Scroll to the name of your headset in the bluetooth device list and click "OK" to accept this device.
Your phone will now ask for the passkey to the headset. Usually this is "0000" (four zeros). Enter the passkey
and click "OK".
Your phone should now display a message about being "Connected..." to your headset.
All done! Life is good.
