You have to pair it with your PS3 or another device through BlueTooth.
Pairing is a process of associating
Bluetooth devices with each other. It will establish a permanent
security link between the devices and enable quick access to the
services provided without the need to re-enter Pass Keys. You will only
need to pair your PS3 and the Headset once.
Paired devices remain paired
even when:
-One of the devices is powered off.
-A service connection is interrupted or stopped.
-One or both devices are restarted.
Pairing the Headset with the PS3
Before the Headset can be used with the PS3, the two devices must be
'paired' so they can communicate with each other. Use a gaming
controller for this procedure and ensure that the Headset is powered on
(flashing blue LED light) and that it is not being charged via USB
cable.
1. Power on your PS3 console.
2. Within the "Settings" menu, press X
on "Accessory Settings."
3. Press X on the icon labeled: "Manage
Bluetooth® Devices."
4. Scroll down and press X on the icon
labeled: "Register New Device."
IMPORTANT: Depending on
your model of the 8860 Bluetooth® Headset, your power button is either
an oval shape with an icon of a circle with a line going through it (5a)
or it is a button with a phone icon (5b). Please follow the appropriate
next step depending on your model of the 8860.
5a. Once at the next screen, prepare the
Headset to be paired with the PS3 by holding down the K1 button until
the LED flashes Blue and Red (hold K1 approx 12 seconds).
5b. Once at the next screen, prepare the
Headset to be paired with the PS3 by tapping the pairing button located
next to the volume controls on the side until the LED flashes BOTH Blue
and Red.
6. Once the Headset's LED indicator is
alternately flashing Blue and Red (indicating the Headset is ready to be
paired), press X on "Start Scanning."
7. Once Scan is complete, the PS3 will
recognize all Bluetooth devices within range.
8. Locate "8860" from the list of
available devices and press X on its icon to be prompted for a Pass Key
9. Enter 0000 (four zeros) as the Pass
Key and press X on OK
10. You should then be taken to a new
screen stating: "Register completed"
