Button Functions

You can use the Q1's buttons to access some of the device's advanced features. You can also turn off voice control and use the buttons instead.

Only some of the functions are available at any given time (for example, the functions for answering a call are only available when the phone is ringing). The "When" column in the table below explains when you can use each function, based on the following different states that Q1 can be in:

Off: The Q1 is switched off.
Idle: The Q1 is switched on but is not connected to any mobile devices.
Standby: The Q1 is switched on and connected to a mobile device, but not currently on a call.
Ringing: The Q1 is switched on and connected to a mobile device and the phone is ringing.
Active Call: The Q1 is switched on, connected to a mobile device, and there is an active call on the connected device.
3 Way Call: The Q1 is switched on, connected to a mobile device, and there are two calls on the connected device (either call waiting, where one call is active and the other is on hold, or a call conference where all three callers are connected at the same time).

Function	Button	How Long	When	Notes
Switch the Q1 On		Hold for 3 seconds	Off	You will hear a sound indicating that the Q1 is switching on.
Switch the Q1 Off		Hold for 3 seconds	Idle, Standby	You will hear a sound indicating that the Q1 is switching off. You cannot turn the Q1 off during a call, so you must end the call first. If you just want to revert to using your phone for the call, you can disconnect the Q1 during the call instead.
Enter Pairing Mode		Hold for 6 seconds	Off	If the Q1 is switched on, then you can enter pair mode by using the voice command "Pair Me" instead.
Volume Up	"Vol +"	Click	Idle, Standby, Ringing, Active Call, 3 Way Call	The Q1 will beep when it reaches the maximum volume.
Volume Down	"Vol -"	Click	Idle, Standby, Ringing, Active Call, 3 Way Call	The Q1 will beep when it reaches the minimum volume.
Activate "Say A Command" (Voice Recognition)		Click	Idle, Standby	You need to activate voice recognition in order to use one of the voice commands (the Q1 will ask you to "Say A Command"). Click the BlueAnt button again to cancel, or wait a few seconds and the voice recognition will automatically cancel if you do not say a command.
Answer a Call		Click	Ringing	You can also answer or reject a call using the voice commands.
End a Call		Click	Active Call, 3 Way Call	The call will also end if the other party terminates it (you do not need to click anything if the other party ends the call). Please note that this button press changed in firmware version 8.19. If you have an older firmware release on your Q1, then you end a call by double clicking the BlueAnt button.
Reject a Call		Double Click	Ringing	You can also answer or reject a call using the voice commands.
Redial Last Number	"Vol +"	Hold for 1 second	Standby, Active Call	This command tells the connected phone to redial its last outgoing call (it doesn't matter whether the phone was connected to the Q1 at the time that call was made). If you use this button function while you are on an active call, the current call will be put on hold while the Q1 dials the call.
Use Phone Voice Dialing		Click	Standby (Voice Control Off)	This function is only available through this button press if you have turned off voice control (either through the "Settings Menu" or by using the button combination described below). If voice control is turned on, then you can access your phone's voice dialing feature by using the voice command "Phone Commands" instead.
Switch Voice Isolation between Standard and Max		Double Click	Active Call, 3 Way Call	You will hear an audio confirmation of the current voice isolation setting when you switch between them. Please note that this button press changed in firmware version 8.19. If you have an older firmware release on your Q1, then you switch modes by single clicking the BlueAnt button.
Mute	"Vol +" and "Vol -"	Hold together for 1 second (until you hear a beep)	Active Call, 3 Way Call	This function mutes the audio on the current call. You will hear a beep every 20 seconds to remind you that the audio is muted. Repeat the button combination to undo the mute.
Disconnect the headset (transfer audio to the phone)	"Vol +" and "Vol -"	Click	Standby, Ringing, Active Call, 3 Way Call	You can use this function to disconnect the Q1 headset from the phone during a call. The audio will transfer to the phone where you can continue the conversation. Click the buttons again to transfer audio back to the Q1 again, although please note that not all phones support transferring audio back to the headset. You can also use this function to disconnect the Q1 if you are not on a call, although in this case you will not be able to reconnect to the Q1 by clicking the buttons again (to reconnect in this case, you can use the "Am I Connected" voice command instead).
Reconnect to the Phone		Click	Idle (Voice Control Off)	This function is only available through this button press if you have turned off voice control (either through the "Settings Menu" or by using the button combination described below). If voice control is turned on, then you can reconnect to your phone by using the "Am I Connected?" voice command instead.
Turn Voice Control On or Off	"Vol +" and "Vol -"	Hold for 3 seconds	Idle, Standby	You can also turn off voice control by using the "Turn Off Voice Control" option on the "Settings Menu".
Turn LEDs On or Off	"Vol +" and "Vol -"	Hold for 1 second	Idle	This function is only available when the headset is in Idle mode. It is not available when the headset is in Standby mode, so you will need to disconnect from all paired mobile devices before using this button combination. You can turn off the LED without disconnecting by using the "LED Light" command on the "Settings Menu". Please note that this button combination also turns the voice control on or off (but with a longer button press). You must therefore make sure you release the volume buttons after 1 second.
Save the last incoming call in one of the Q1's speed dials	"Vol -"	Hold for 1 second	Standby	This function is not available if you have turned off voice control. For more information about storing numbers in the Q1's speed dials, see Setting Up Speed Dials.
Hold current call and answer a second incoming call	"Vol +"	Hold for 1 second	3 Way Call	This function is only available if your phone and phone network supports 3 way calling.
End current call and answer a second incoming call	"Vol -"	Hold for 1 second	3 Way Call	This function is only available if your phone and phone network supports 3 way calling.
Hold current call and switch to the call on the other line	"Vol +"	Hold for 1 second	3 Way Call	This function is only available if your phone and phone network supports 3 way calling.
Call Conference		Hold for 3 seconds	3 Way Call	This function is only available if your phone and phone network supports 3 way calling.
Reset the Q1	"Vol +" and "Vol -"	Click all three buttons together	Idle	This function is only available when the headset is in Idle mode. It is not available when the headset is in Standby mode, so you will need to disconnect from all paired mobile devices before using this button combination.
