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: Pairing the Headset with the PS3 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

Try to charge it on a USB on the PC, If the red light doesn't stay on, meaning it's charging, then you have a faulty headset and you'll have to contact your retailer to ask for a replacement.
Unfortunately this is a know issue with this headsets...
Hope it helps
