Contrary to general perception, a Bluetooth (BT) headset does not draw power from your cell phone and instead needs to be charged using a power cable every time it shows the low battery sign. While you do get a charging unit with the BT device, buy a spare charger nonetheless as you never know when you might need it.

An average BT headset will give you up to four hours of talk-time and up to 60 hours on standby mode based on the model you buy. Secondary aspects such as usage patterns as well as the mobile phone model being used will also affect the battery discharge time. Most Bluetooth headsets come with a single power button that substitutes as a call connect/disconnect button also. The device can be turned ON by keeping this button pressed for a few seconds upon which, an indicator LED will start blinking to signal the same.

Before you can make/receive calls through the BT headset, it will need to be configured to your mobile phone. For this, you must ensure that the headset is switched ON before proceeding further. Then, you will need to find the Bluetooth options in your cell phone and enable them.

When your phone identifies a Bluetooth enabled device, it will intimate the same to you by flashing the product details. Make sure that the details match that of your device (headset). Before the phone can accept a device, it asks for a 4-digit pass code. This is generally 0000 or 1234. On successful pairing, the headset will blink 12 times rapidly to intimate the same, and then slow down to a blink, once every 3 seconds.

The procedure for pairing it to your laptop for making and receiving VOIP calls also goes through the same process more or less. If your laptop or PC does not support Bluetooth communication, then, you will need to buy a separate BT adapter that you can connect to your PC's USB port. The adapter comes built in with software. Just install the software, and your PC is ready for using a Bluetooth head set.
