1. Introduction  
With the Nokia Bluetooth Headset BH-601, you can make and receive phone calls  
with your compatible mobile phone, and listen to music with your compatible  
MP3 music player. The music player can be the music player feature of your phone  
or a separate music playing device.  
Read this user guide carefully before using the headset. Read also the user guide  
for your phone, which provides important safety and maintenance information,  
and the user guide for your music playing device. Keep the headset out of reach of  
small children.  
Bluetooth wireless technology  
The headset can be connected to a compatible mobile phone or other device that  
supports Bluetooth wireless technology. This technology makes it possible to  
connect compatible communication devices without cables. A Bluetooth  
connection does not require that the phone and the headset be in line of sight, but  
both devices should be within 10 meters (30 feet) of each other. Connections can  
be subject to interference from obstructions, such as walls, or other electronic  
devices.  
This headset is compliant with Bluetooth Specification 1.2 supporting the  
following profiles: Headset Profile 1.1, Handsfree Profile 1.0, Advanced Audio  
Distribution Profile 1.0, and Audio Video Remote Control Profile 1.0. 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.

vary with different mobile phones, products that use a Bluetooth connection,  
usage settings, usage style, and environments.

4. Battery information  
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The full performance of a new battery is  
achieved only after two or three complete charge and discharge cycles. 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 the  
device connected to a charger, since overcharging may shorten the battery lifetime. If left  
unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over time.  
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery 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.

Care and maintenance  
Your device is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated with  
care. The suggestions below will help you protect your warranty coverage.  
Keep all accessories and enhancements out of the reach of small children.  
Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity and all types of liquids or moisture can  
contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits. If your device does get wet, allow  
the device to dry completely.  
Do not attempt to remove the battery from the device. Nokia recommends to take it to  
the nearest authorized service facility for replacement of the battery.  
Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts and electronic  
components can be damaged.  
Do not store the device in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic  
devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.  
Do not store the device in cold areas. When the device returns to its normal temperature,  
moisture can form inside the device and damage electronic circuit boards.  
Do not attempt to open the device other than as instructed in this guide.  
Do not drop, knock, or shake the device. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards  
and fine mechanics.  
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the device.  
Do not paint the device. Paint can clog the moving parts and prevent proper operation.  
Use chargers indoors.

All of the above suggestions apply equally to your device, battery, charger, or any  
enhancement. If any device is not working properly, take it to the nearest authorized service  
facility for service.
