Warnings: Driving: use of stereo headset covering both ears while driving is not permitted in many countries and many states in the USA. Please ensure you comply with local law and drive safely. If you are driving in difficult road conditions then please park the car in a suitable place before using your mobile phone. Excessive noise exposure: Using Bluetooth® headsets at high volume levels can damage your hearing. The risk to hearing damage increases substantially when listening to high volume levels for extended periods of time. The VQ660 headset has digital sound level monitoring and alert technology to maximise your hearing protection. The User Exposure Alert (UEA) feature constantly calculates the overall sound output through the headset speakers and gives a warning (an alert) when the average daily exposure through the headset reaches a pre-defined level. The warning is in the form of a notification with a short message. The message is repeated every 5 minutes until the UEA feature is either acknowledged or deactivated by the user. Notes: Other Qstik products, such as the AS360 USB dongle, referred to in this user guide are available for sale at the time of launching the VQ660 headset. Such products may subsequently be out of stock or obsolete. Looking after your headset: Your headset is manufactured to the highest standards for comfort and durability. You can extend the life of your headset by taking the following steps:  If you are not using your VQ660 headset for a period of time, then ensure your headset is powered off and stored in a safe and dry place.  Avoid exposing your headset to extreme conditions including very high temperatures such as direct sunlight in a car; very low temperatures (-10°C/14°F); or continuous exposure to moisture or high humidity. Such conditions can shorten battery life, degrade performance and adversely affect the operation of your headset.  Do not submerge your headset in water or expose your headset to heavy rain.

Headset operating features: Your VQ660 headset is Bluetooth® Ver 2.1+EDR compliant. The VQ660 headset supports the following music and telephony functions. Music streaming features Telephony features play, pause, stop, next / previous track fast forward, rewind pause music to answer call answer / end / reject call reject call, last number redial voice dialing, call waiting Please note some mobile phones (services) or some music devices (including some applications on the PC may not support all the features available on your VQ660 headset. The operation of buttons on the Qstik VQ660 is designed to be intuitive and easy to remember. The buttons perform different functions depending on how long and how many times you press the buttons as shown in the following table: Action Method Once Press momentarily and release Twice Press twice repeatedly 2 seconds Press and hold for 2 seconds 5 seconds Press and hold for 5 seconds 10 seconds Press and hold for 10 seconds (Only used to delete all pairing data) 2. Charging your headset Please ensure your Qstik VQ660 headset is on charge for at least 4 hours before first use. Subsequent charges should take approximately 3 hours. Use only the USB cable (or mains charger) provided with your headset. Connect the charger cable to the mini-USB charging socket on your headset first (see Figure above) before connecting the USB cable to your PC/Laptop (or connecting the mains charger to the wall socket). The indicator light on your headset turns to solid Red when the headset is charging, and turns off when the battery is fully charged. You can use your headset for listening to music or telephony while your headset is on charge. In this case the headset will charge at a slower rate than normal. 2.1. Low battery warning A slow flashing Red light indicates when your battery is low and needs re-charging. When the Red light starts flashing, the headset has approximately 15 minutes talk time (or music streaming time) remaining.

Powering your headset Press and hold the MFB (multi-function button) for 2 seconds to turn the headset ON. The headset is ready for use when the status indicator light flashes Blue 3 times repeatedly. If you are wearing the headset, you will hear a beep when the power turns on. The status indicator then continues to flash Blue every 3 seconds to confirm your headset is “ready-to-use”. Press and hold the MFB for 5 seconds to turn the headset OFF. The headset will be switched off when the status indicator flashes Amber. If you are wearing your headset, you will hear a beep when it turns off. The status indicator light then remains off. 4. Pairing your headset Your headset can be paired with several Bluetooth®-enabled devices such as mobile phones, MP3 players or other music devices, but cannot simultaneously interact with more than one device at a time when using telephony profile or music streaming profile. Your headset prioritizes the telephony function over the music, automatically switching to the phone when you make or receive a call. Once the call has ended, the headset reverts back to music automatically. 4.1. Pairing your VQ660 with a mobile phone • Start with your headset turned off. Press and hold the MFB for 5 seconds until the indicator light flashes Amber repeatedly confirming your headset is in pairing mode. You have about 2 minutes to complete the pairing process. You can end pairing mode at any time by pressing the MFB momentarily. • Set your Bluetooth®-enabled mobile phone to discover the Qstik VQ660 headset and complete the pairing process by following the instructions in your phone user guide. These are normally found under “Bluetooth® > Setup > Add device > Connect” menus. • Your phone should find your headset and display the name “QstikVQ660”. Select and accept your headset. If asked for a PIN or passkey, enter “8888”. • On successful pairing, the indicator light reverts to flashing Blue every 3 seconds to confirm your headset is “ready-to-use”. If paired and successfully connected with your mobile phone, all voice communications will be diverted through the Bluetooth® interface to your headset. If pairing was unsuccessful then repeat the steps above. 4.2. Pairing your VQ660 with a music device or PC/Laptop Once paired with your mobile phone, you need to pair the headset with your music device such as Bluetooth®-enabled MP3 player or Bluetooth® stereo adaptor for your PC/Laptop. Pairing with a music device uses the A2DP and the AVRCP profiles, which enables high quality music streaming to your headset as well as remote control features. This is only possible if the music streaming device and application support these profiles. You can use your VQ660 headset with your PC/Laptop for Voice over IP (VoIP) communication or listening to high quality stereo music by using an A2DP-compliant Bluetooth® USB adapter (dongle) and software, such as Qstik’s AS360 USB dongle.

VQ660 special feature – User Exposure Alert Using Bluetooth® headsets at high volume levels can damage your hearing. The risk to hearing damage increases substantially when listening to high volume levels for extended periods of time. The VQ660 headset has digital sound level monitoring and alert technology to maximise your hearing protection. The User Exposure Alert (UEA) feature constantly calculates the overall sound output through the headset speakers and gives a warning (an alert) when the average daily exposure through the headset reaches a pre-defined level. The warning is in the form of a notification with the following short message: “daily hearing exposure reached”. This message is then repeated every 5 minutes until either the UEA feature is deactivated, or the headset is powered off, or the reset button is pressed. You can deactivate/reactivate the UEA during music play (or pause) by pressing the FF and RW buttons simultaneously for 2 seconds. Please note: the UEA calculation is based on daily sound exposure through the headset and therefore it auto-resets itself after every 24 hours lapsed following headset power on. Power cycling or resetting the headset deletes the existing User Exposure data. 5.5. VQ660 special feature – Base-Boost You can activate/deactivate the Base-Boost feature during music play (or pause) by pressing the MFB twice repeatedly. 5.6. Answering a call while playing music You can receive a call while listening to music if your VQ660 headset is paired and connected to your mobile phone as well as your music device. Simply press the MFB once momentarily to answer the call. On call termination the music resumes automatically. The time taken to resume music streaming may differ depending on your device. Please note that your headset can only be connected with two devices simultaneously using different profiles, i.e., HSP/HFP (telephony profiles) for mobile phone and A2DP/AVRCP (music profiles) for music device. A given Bluetooth® profile can not be used by more than one device at a time. 5.7. Headset status indicator light When your headset is… The status indicator light… Turned on Flashes Blue 3 times repeatedly Turned off Turns Amber before switching off In pairing mode Flashes Amber repeatedly for a maximum of 2 minutes to complete pairing Ready to use but not connected to a device Flashes Blue every 5 seconds Connected to device (telephony or music) Turns off Receiving a call (except during call waiting) Toggles between Red & Blue during ring tone and turns off when answered Low battery Flashes Red for 2 minutes On charge Turns Red while charging and turns off once fully charged
