1. Introduction
The Nokia Bluetooth Headset BH-801 allows you the freedom to make
and receive calls while on the move or in the office. You can connect the
headset to a compatible phone that supports Bluetooth wireless
technology.
Read this user guide carefully before using the headset. Also read the user
guide for your phone, which provides important safety and maintenance
information. Keep the headset and its accessories out of reach of small
children.
■ Bluetooth wireless technology
Bluetooth wireless technology allows
you to connect compatible devices
without cables. A Bluetooth
<10m
connection does not require that the
phone and the headset be in line of
sight, but the maximum distance
between the devices is 10 meters (30
feet). The closer the phone and the
headset are to each other, the better is
the performance. The optimal
operating range is shown in dark grey
in the picture. The connection is subject to interference from distance and
obstructions (shown in light grey) or other electronic devices.
5
I n t r o d u c t i o n
The headset is compliant with the Bluetooth Specification 2.0 + EDR that
supports the following profiles: Headset Profile 1.1 and Hands-Free
Profile 1.5. Check with the manufacturers of other devices to determine
their compatibility with this device.
There may be restrictions on using Bluetooth technology in some
locations. Check with your local authorities or service provider.

phone.
• Ensure that the Bluetooth feature is activated on your phone.
10
G e t s t a r t e d
• Check that the headset is within 10 meters (30 feet) of your phone and
that there are no obstructions between the headset and the phone,
such as walls, or other electronic devices.
• To reset the headset if it stops functioning, although it is charged, plug
the headset into a charger, and briefly press the power key and the
middle of the volume key. This reset does not clear your settings (for

B a s i c u s e
The phone that was first paired with the headset is the default phone. If
the headset is switched on within 10 meters (30 feet) of several paired
phones, the headset tries to connect to the default phone.
If the headset cannot connect to the default phone, the headset tries to
connect to the last used phone. If the headset cannot connect to this
phone either, one of the other six paired phones can be connected to the
headset. To make the connection, see the user guide of your phone.
■ Clear the settings
If you want to clear all the settings from the headset (for example, the list
of paired devices), press and hold the power key and the volume key up for
10 seconds. After the settings are cleared, the headset beeps twice, and
the indicator lights alternate for several seconds.

4. Battery information
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The battery can be charged and
discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out. Recharge your
battery only with Nokia approved chargers designated for this device.
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use. Do not
leave a fully charged battery connected to a charger, since overcharging may
shorten its lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over
time.
Never use any charger that is damaged.
Leaving the device in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter
conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep
the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). A device with a hot or cold
battery may not work temporarily, even when the battery is fully charged. Battery
performance is particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Batteries may also
explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Please
recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
