1. Introduction
With the Nokia Bluetooth Stereo Headset BH-604 you can listen to
music from your compatible music player and make and receive
hands-free calls using your mobile phone. The music player can be the
music player feature of your mobile phone or a separate music device.
You can use the headset with compatible devices that support
Bluetooth wireless technology.
Read this user guide carefully before using the headset. Also read the
user guide for your mobile phone, which provides important safety and
maintenance information, and the user guide for your music device.
Keep the headset and its accessories out of reach of small children.
■ Bluetooth wireless technology
Bluetooth wireless technology allows
you to connect compatible devices
without cables. A Bluetooth
connection does not require that the
headset and the other device be in line
of sight, but the maximum distance
between the devices is 10 meters
(30 feet). The closer the devices are to
each other, the better is the
performance. The optimal operating
range is shown in dark grey in the
picture. The connection is subject to interference from distance and
obstructions (shown in light grey) or other electronic devices.
The headset is compliant with Bluetooth Specification 2.0 + EDR
supporting the following profiles: Headset Profile 1.1, Hands-Free
Profile 1.5, Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) 1.0, and Audio
Video Remote Control Profile 1.0. Check with the manufacturers of
other devices to determine their compatibility with this device.

I n t r o d u c t i o n
There may be restrictions on using Bluetooth technology in some
locations. Check with your local authorities or service provider.

headset is intended for use with the AC-4, AC-5, and DC-4 chargers.
Warning: Use chargers approved by Nokia for use with this particular
enhancement. The use of any other types may invalidate any approval
or warranty, and may be dangerous.
When you disconnect the power cord of any enhancement, grasp and pull the
plug, not the cord.
■ Charge the battery
The headset has an internal, nonremovable, rechargeable battery. Do
not attempt to remove the battery from the headset, as you may
damage the headset.

■ Pair and connect the headset
Pair and connect the headset with a mobile phone that
has a music player feature
If your phone supports the A2DP Bluetooth profile and has a music
player feature, you can use the phone to make and receive calls and to
play music with the headset.
1. Ensure that your phone is switched on.

5. Enter the passcode 0000 to pair and connect the headset to your
phone. In some phones, you may need to make the connection
separately after pairing. You only need to pair the headset with your
phone once.
If pairing is successful, the headset appears in the menu of the mobile
phone where you can view the currently paired Bluetooth devices.
When the headset is connected with your mobile phone and ready for
use, the indicator light of the headset slowly flashes blue.
Pair and connect the headset with a music player
If your phone does not support the A2DP Bluetooth profile, you can
separately pair the headset with the phone and a music player that
supports this Bluetooth profile.
If you have paired and connected the headset with your phone,
disconnect the headset from it before pairing the headset with a music
player.

G e t s t a r t e d
To pair the headset with a music player, follow the instructions in “Pair
and connect the headset with a mobile phone that has a music player
feature,” p. 8. If your music player does not have a keypad, it may use the
Bluetooth passcode 0000 by default. If this is not the case, see the user
guide of your music player to change the default Bluetooth passcode to
0000.
If pairing is successful and the headset is connected with your music
player, the indicator light of the headset slowly flashes blue.
Disconnect the headset
To disconnect the headset from your device, switch off the headset, or
disconnect it in the Bluetooth menu of your device.
You do not need to delete pairing with the headset to disconnect it.
Reconnect the headset
To connect the headset to the phone or music player that you have last
used with it, switch on the headset, or make the connection in the
Bluetooth menu of your device.
In your device, you may be able to allow the headset to connect to it
automatically when the headset is switched on. To do this in Nokia
devices, change your paired device settings in the Bluetooth menu.

press and hold the multifunction key and slide the volume key forward
until the indicator light alternates red, green, and blue three times.
To reset the headset if it stops functioning, although it is charged, plug
the charger into the headset, and press and hold the multifunction key
and slide the volume key forward. The reset does not clear the headset
settings.

4. Battery information
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The battery can be charged and
discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out. Recharge your
battery only with Nokia approved chargers designated for this device.
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use. Do
not leave a fully charged battery connected to a charger, since overcharging may
shorten its lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over
time.
Never use any charger that is damaged.
Leaving the device in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or
winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try
to keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). A device with a hot
or cold battery may not work temporarily, even when the battery is fully charged.
Battery performance is particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Batteries may also
explode if damaged.

Care and maintenance
Your device is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be
treated with care. The following suggestions will help you protect your warranty
coverage.
•
Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and all types of liquids or
moisture can contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits. If your
device does get wet, allow it to dry completely.
•
•
•
Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts and
electronic components can be damaged.
Do not store the device in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of
electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.
Do not store the device in cold areas. When the device returns to its normal
temperature, moisture can form inside the device and damage electronic
circuit boards.
•
•
Do not attempt to open the device.
Do not drop, knock, or shake the device. Rough handling can break internal
circuit boards and fine mechanics.
•
•
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean
