Motorola wireless headsets are powered by Bluetooth technology. Bluetooth installation requires you to "pair" the headset to a compatible phone. Pairing means the two devices recognize one another any time they're within 32 feet of each other. To pair any phone with a Motorola headset, find and turn on the Bluetooth function on the phone then wait for the pairing prompt on your phone to appear. The phone and the headset must both be both fully charged and powered on before you begin.

1. Access the Bluetooth controls on your phone. For many phones, you press the "Menu" key on your phone, then go to "Settings" and "Connection," for example. If you're using a smartphone, go to the general settings menu and look for "Bluetooth." For example, iPhone users tap "Settings," then "General," and then "Bluetooth."

2. Power on your phone's Bluetooth function. For most Motorola phones you'll press "Change" then "On" or simply "Turn Bluetooth On." On an iPhone, slide the Bluetooth slider to "On."

3. Check the headset to see if the indicator light is flashing. If it's not flashing, check that it's powered on. The light should flicker, and then turn steady blue.

4. Go back to your phone and look for the Bluetooth prompt. You should see a list of Bluetooth devices. If a list doesn't appear, scroll back through your menus to the Bluetooth setting, and then select "Look for Devices" or similar.

5. Wait for the headset name and model number to appear on your screen, and then select it with the appropriate key or by tapping if you have a smartphone.

6. Enter "0000" (four zeros) if you're prompted for a passkey, and then press "OK." The light on your headset flashes to show it is successfully paired with your phone.
