Getting Started: Pairing The S1

To get started, you need to pair the S1 with your phone.

Pairing creates a stored link between the phone and the car kit. Once you have paired your phone with the S1 they will reconnect to each other in future without you having to repeat the pairing process.

Make sure the S1 is turned off. You can tell if the S1 is on or off by looking at the Bluetooth Light on the front. If the light is on or flashing, then the S1 is on: turn it off by holding down (the Multi-Function button) for about 5 seconds. The S1 will beep and the light will turn red and then go out.
With the S1 off, hold down (the Multi-Function button) for about 5 seconds, until the Bluetooth light starts flashing red and blue. This indicates that the S1 is in pairing mode.
Go to the Bluetooth menu on your 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 S1 from the list.
If your phone prompts you for a password or security code, enter "0000" (four zeros).
Some phones will now connect to the BlueAnt S1 automatically. If your phone prompts you to confirm whether you want to connect to the S1, accept the connection request. If your phone does not connect to the S1, then use your phone's Bluetooth menu to initiate a connection to the S1. If you don't know how to do this, refer to the section on pairing in your phone's manual.

You are now ready to start using the S1.

On some phones you may need to change an additional security setting to allow the phone and car kit 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 S1 every time you bring it back into range with the S1, then this applies to you. See My Phone Does Not Automatically Reconnect to the S1 for more details on how to change this setting on your phone.
