The BlueParrott M300-XT SE is a Bluetooth headset designed for clear communication and extended use, particularly in environments where background noise is a concern. Its primary function is to facilitate hands-free calls and audio playback, offering a robust solution for professionals who need reliable communication on the go.

Function Description

The core function of the BlueParrott M300-XT SE is to provide high-quality audio for calls and media, while simultaneously reducing ambient noise for both the user and the listener. It achieves this through a combination of advanced microphone technology and ergonomic design. The headset is equipped with two microphones specifically engineered to block out up to 80% of background noise, ensuring crystal-clear conversations even in noisy environments. This feature is particularly beneficial for truck drivers, field workers, or anyone operating in loud settings.

The headset supports Bluetooth connectivity, allowing it to pair with smartphones and other compatible devices. It offers a significant wireless range, enabling users to roam up to 300ft/100m from their paired Bluetooth devices without losing connection. This "walk and talk" capability enhances mobility and convenience, freeing users from being tethered to their phones.

A key feature is the customizable BlueParrott Button™. By default, this button mutes the microphone, providing quick control over call privacy. However, its functionality can be reconfigured using the BlueParrott app to perform various other tasks. These include speed dial, push-to-talk (PTT) functionality, accessing a second paired mobile device, or checking the battery level. This customization allows users to tailor the headset to their specific workflow and preferences, making it a versatile tool for different professional needs.

The M300-XT SE is designed for all-day conversations, boasting up to 14 hours of talk time on a single charge. This extended battery life ensures that users can rely on the headset throughout their workday without frequent recharging. When it does need to be charged, it utilizes a USB-C port, offering modern convenience and faster charging capabilities.

Usage Features

The headset is designed for ease of use, with intuitive controls for managing calls, adjusting volume, and interacting with voice assistants.

• Power On/Off: To power on, simply press and hold the Multi-function button for 1 second until the LED flashes blue and "Power on" is heard. To power off, press and hold the Multi-function button for 3 seconds until the LED flashes red and "Power off" is heard.
• Pairing: The headset supports standard Bluetooth pairing. With the headset powered off, press and hold the Multi-function button for approximately 6 seconds until "Pair mode" is heard and the LED flashes red and blue. Then, select the M300-XT from the Bluetooth menu on your smartphone.
• NFC Pairing: For compatible smartphones, NFC pairing offers a quick connection method. Ensure the headset is powered on and NFC is enabled on your smartphone. Place the NFC zone of your smartphone against the NFC zone of the headset until the connection is confirmed.
• Call Management:
  • Answer Call: Press the Multi-function button.
  • End Call: Press the Multi-function button.
  • Reject Call: Press and hold the Multi-function button for 2 seconds.
  • Activate Voice Assistant: Press the Multi-function button when not on a call to activate Siri, Google Assistant, or other voice assistants.
• Volume Control: The headset features dedicated Volume up and Volume down buttons. These can be used to adjust audio levels during calls or when listening to music.
• LED Control: Both the Volume up and Volume down buttons can be pressed simultaneously to turn the headset's LEDs on or off, which can be useful in certain environments or to conserve battery.
• Audio Transfer: During a call, users can transfer audio between the headset and their smartphone. Press and hold the Volume down button for 2 seconds to transfer the call audio to the paired smartphone. Repeating this action transfers the audio back to the headset.
• Redial: To redial the last number, press and hold the Volume down button for 1 second until a beep is heard.
• Microphone Mute: The BlueParrott Button™ mutes/un-mutes the microphone during a call. Alternatively, pressing and holding the Volume up button for 2 seconds also mutes/un-mutes the microphone.
• Multipoint Mode: The headset can pair with up to 8 smartphones and connect to two simultaneously. This allows users to answer calls from either connected smartphone using the headset. If a call comes in on the second phone while the user is on a call, a notification will be heard in the headset.
• Multiple Call Handling: The headset supports managing multiple calls.
  • End current call and answer incoming call: Press the Multi-function button to end the current call, then press it again to answer the incoming call.
  • Put current call on hold and answer incoming call: Quickly press the Multi-function button twice.
  • Reject incoming call when on a call: Press and hold the Multi-function button for 2 seconds.
• Wearing Options: The headset can be worn on either the left or right ear. To switch ears, rotate the microphone horizontally to the other side, then swivel it up and over, pointing it towards the mouth for optimal microphone positioning.
• EarGel Selection: The package includes Small, Medium, and Large EarGels. Users are encouraged to try all three sizes to find the best fit for comfort and sound quality. The EarGel should rest gently against the ear canal, fitting firmly without being squeezed in.

Maintenance Features

Proper care and maintenance are essential to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the BlueParrott M300-XT SE.

• Charging: The headset charges via a USB-C cable. A full charge takes up to 150 minutes. The LED indicator shows charging status: red for charging, blue for fully charged.
• Firmware Updates: The headset's firmware can be updated using the BlueParrott app. This ensures that the device always has the latest features and performance enhancements.
• Resetting the Headset: If issues arise or to clear the list of paired devices, the headset can be reset. With the headset powered on, press and hold both the Volume up and Volume down buttons for 10 seconds until two beeps are heard. After resetting, power off the headset, and it will need to be re-paired with your smartphone.
• Storage: To prevent battery depletion and maintain capacity, avoid storing the headset in extreme hot or cold environments, such as a closed truck in summer or winter. For extended storage periods (up to three months), ensure the headset is recharged periodically.
• Water Exposure: If the headset is exposed to water, allow sufficient time for it to dry thoroughly before powering it on. This may take up to an hour.
• Cleaning: To clean the headset, apply normal dish soap and water to a cloth, wringing out any excess liquid to ensure it's not dripping wet. Gently wipe the headset, ensuring no suds remain. Let it rest for at least one minute, then wipe it clean with a cloth dampened with water only. Finally, allow the product to dry completely. Avoid using strong cleaning agents.

The BlueParrott M300-XT SE is a comprehensive communication tool designed for durability, clarity, and user-friendliness, making it an ideal choice for demanding professional environments.
