Introduction
Function overview
Your SBH54 Stereo Bluetooth® Headset is designed to make life more convenient
when you're on the go. You can use it together with an Android™ device such as a
smartphone or tablet, or with a non-Android device that supports Bluetooth®, for
example, a smartphone or a music player. When paired with a compatible device,
you can use your SBH54 to perform some or all of the following actions:
•
Handle incoming calls, for example, answer or reject an incoming call.
•
Stream music from a music-playing device.
•
Make a call directly from the SBH54 call log*.
•
Display event notifications such as text messages, emails, calendar event reminders,
and updates from social networking services*.
•
Get event notifications read out loud*.
•
Perform other basic tasks, for example, indicate the time.
You can also use the SBH54 as a standalone FM radio when it's connected to a set
of wired headphones (which function as an antenna).
* For these functions to work, you must use an Android™ device that supports the
relevant functions, for example, call handling and messaging. Also, you must have
the SBH54 application installed on the Android™ device.

Using your SBH54 with two devices simultaneously
Your SBH54 has two different connection modes: Multipoint mode and Singlepoint
mode. Multipoint mode helps you manage two connections at the same time, for
example, it lets you handle calls from one device and play music from another. You
must switch to Multipoint mode manually after you pair your headset with a second
device successfully. If you stop using one of the two devices, you should switch
manually to Singlepoint mode.
Your SBH54 remembers both paired devices. You can reconnect previously paired
devices easily by switching back to Multipoint mode from Singlepoint mode. A
previously paired device can then be detected automatically.
If your SBH54 is paired with two Android™ devices, you must select one of them as
the primary device for viewing event notifications and handling calls on the headset.
You can only connect to a maximum of two devices in Multipoint mode. If you pair the SBH54
with a third device, the first paired device gets removed from the memory of the headset.
