This document is a user manual for the Philips SHB7150 Bluetooth stereo headset, providing instructions on its use, safety, and maintenance.

The Philips SHB7150 is a wireless on-ear headset designed for convenient hands-free calls and wireless music enjoyment. It offers the flexibility to switch between calls and music seamlessly. Additionally, it can be used with non-Bluetooth devices via an audio cable, making it versatile for various listening scenarios, such as on an airplane or with devices that do not support Bluetooth.

Function Description:

The headset primarily functions as a Bluetooth stereo headset, enabling wireless audio streaming and call management when paired with a compatible mobile phone or other Bluetooth-enabled device (e.g., notebook, PDA, MP3 players with Bluetooth adapters). It supports both mono (HSP/HFP) and stereo (A2DP) Bluetooth profiles, allowing for both communication and high-quality music playback. The headset also incorporates digital echo and noise reduction for clearer audio during calls. An auto-power-off feature helps conserve battery life.

Usage Features:

Wireless Connectivity: The core feature is its Bluetooth capability, allowing users to connect to mobile phones and other devices without physical cables for audio and calls.
Hands-Free Calling: Users can make and receive calls wirelessly. The headset includes a microphone for communication.
Music Control: The headset provides controls for managing music playback, including play/pause, skipping tracks forward/backward, and adjusting volume.
Call Management: Beyond answering and ending calls, the headset supports rejecting incoming calls, redialing the last number, and switching between callers during a call.
Volume/Track Control: A dedicated control allows users to slide up/down to adjust volume and press to skip tracks.
Wired Mode: An included audio cable allows the headset to function as a corded headset with non-Bluetooth devices, or when the battery is depleted. In wired mode, battery power is not required, but the microphone function is deactivated.
NFC Pairing: For compatible Android mobile phones (operating system 4.2 or above) with NFC functionality, the headset supports quick pairing by simply touching the phone to the headset's NFC detection area. This simplifies the pairing process compared to manual Bluetooth pairing.
Manual Bluetooth Pairing: For devices without NFC or for users who prefer it, the headset can be manually paired by activating its pairing mode and selecting it from the device's Bluetooth settings. The headset stores up to 8 paired devices, replacing the earliest one if a new device is paired beyond this limit.
Automatic Reconnection: Once paired, the headset attempts to automatically reconnect to the last connected mobile phone/Bluetooth device when powered on. If the last device is unavailable, it tries to reconnect to the second last device.
Battery Status Indicators: The headset uses LED indicators to show various statuses, including charging, low battery, full charge, connection status (connected, ready for pairing, not connected), and incoming calls.
Adjustable Headband: The headband can be adjusted to ensure a comfortable fit for the user.
Factory Reset: Users can restore all original headset settings by pressing and holding the Call/Music button for 10 seconds when the headset is powered off.

Maintenance Features:

Charging: The headset is charged via a supplied USB charging cable connected to a USB power source. It is recommended to use the original USB cable to prevent damage. A full charge typically takes 3 hours, but the first charge is recommended for 4 hours for optimal battery capacity and lifetime. The LED indicator turns white during charging and off when fully charged.
Battery Life Preservation: The headset is designed with an auto-power-off feature. If it fails to connect to any Bluetooth device within range for 5 minutes, it will automatically switch off to save battery life.
Cleaning: For cleaning, a soft cloth, possibly dampened with a minimum amount of water or diluted mild soap, is recommended. Harsh cleaning agents containing alcohol, ammonia, benzene, or abrasives should be avoided.
Storage and Operating Conditions: The headset should be operated and stored within a temperature range of -15°C (5°F) to 55°C (131°F) and up to 90% relative humidity. Extreme temperatures can affect battery life.
Safety Guidelines: The manual emphasizes important safety instructions, including not exposing the headset to excessive heat, dropping it, or submerging it in water. It also advises against continuous high-volume listening to prevent hearing damage and recommends caution in hazardous situations.
Battery Disposal: The product contains a non-removable Lithium-Polymer battery. Users are advised not to incinerate the battery and to contact local authorities or visit www.recycle.philips.com for disposal and recycling information. If no collection/recycling system is available, users can remove and recycle the battery before disposing of the headset.
Environmental Information: The packaging is designed to be easily separated into recyclable materials (cardboard, polystyrene foam, polyethylene). The product itself consists of materials that can be recycled and reused by specialized companies, encouraging users to observe local regulations for disposing of packaging, exhausted batteries, and old equipment.
