Pairing

To use the Q1, you need to pair it with your phone. Pairing creates a stored link between the phone and the headset. Once paired, they will reconnect automatically in future.

The Q1 goes into pairing mode automatically the first time you turn it on.

If you want to go back into pairing mode later on, use the "Pair Me" voice command and follow the voice prompts.

The instructions below provide some additional information about the pairing procedure, in case you encounter problems pairing your phone with the Q1.

Pairing Summary

The Q1 can store pairing information for up to 8 different Bluetooth devices.
If you pair a 9th device, this pairing will replace the oldest existing pairing stored in the Q1.
Up to 2 devices can be connected at the same time (multipoint). When you have two phones connected you can answer whichever one rings.
If a mobile device is connected to the Q1 and you go into pair mode to pair another device, then the first device will be disconnected from the Q1.
- If you want to have both phones connected, then you will need to reconnect to the first phone when you finish pairing the second phone.
- In most cases the phone will reconnect to the Q1 automatically when you finish pairing, but if this does not happen you should be able to manually reconnect the phone from your phone's Bluetooth menu.
- You can find out whether you have one or two phones connected by using the "Am I Connected" voice command.

Pairing Procedure

With the Q1 switched on, press (the BlueAnt button), wait for the Q1 to ask you to "Say A Command", and then say "Pair Me".
The voice prompts will explain that the Q1 is now in pair mode. Bring the mobile phone to within about 30cm of the Q1.
Find the Bluetooth menu in your mobile phone, and turn Bluetooth on. If you don't know how to do this, refer to the section on pairing or Bluetooth in your phone's manual, or check with your phone manufacturer for more information on how to enable Bluetooth on your mobile phone.
Use your phone's Bluetooth menu to search for Bluetooth devices. This may take a few minutes, depending on your phone model.
When your phone finishes searching, it will display a list of devices it has found. Select the BlueAnt Q1 from the list.
If your phone prompts you for a password or security code, enter "0000" (four zeros).
Depending on your phone model, it may now connect to the BlueAnt Q1 automatically. If this does not happen, use your phone's Bluetooth menu options to connect to the Q1.

You are now ready to start using the Q1.

On some phones you may need to change an additional security setting to allow the phone and headset to reconnect to each other automatically every time they come back into range.

If your phone keeps prompting you to accept the connection from the Q1 every time you bring it back into range with the Q1, then this applies to you. See My Phone Does Not Automatically Reconnect to the Q1 for more details on how to change this setting on your phone.
