We bought a bluetooth 88606 we used it for a month everything was good, but now when i goto use it all it does is flash blue and red...what do i need to do to fix this problem? Of course my 10 year ol

The headphones flash blue when u switch it on.If it flashes blue and red, it means that it is in bluetooth connection mode.So u can connect it with bluetooth devices by switching on bluetooth on your phone or pc.After connecting the red light stops flashing automatically and blue light starts blinking.Hope you understood. :)

In order to use this headset, your built-in Bluetooth in your PC needs to support the hands free profile, audio and A2DP profile. If it does, all you need to do is hold in the power button on the headset until you see the light on the headset flashing red/blue, red/blue. If it doesn't you'll need to load it onto your computer. Once the headset is flashing red/blue your computer should find it.

Good luck from Headsets Direct!

You will need to turn off your headset and then press and hold the power button until the LED starts to flash red/blue, red/blue, it will stay in this state for a few minutes.

To Quick Pair this headset with a phone:
1. Turn on the phone, and enable bluetooth on the phone.(See specifics your your particular handset)
2. With the Plantronics turned off, press the call button for 4sec until the light flashes blue.
3. Let go of the button, the Plantronics will be in pairing mode, flashing red and blue.
4. On your phone, goto the bluetooth menu and select to ADD A DEVICE, or SEARCH/DETECT.
5. On the Phone select the "220Plantronics" device that is listed.
*Assuming your headset was already in pairing mode when you told the phone to detect it.
*If it took you over 30-60sec to do the process and you dont see the device, turn off the headset,
and restart from step 2.
6.The Passkey is 0000 when the phone asks for it, the headset will flahs blue when it is fully paired.
7. Once paired, you will only need to turn on the headset to reconnect, assuming your phone has bluetooth turned on and you have not cleared of disabled the headsets it is paired to.

It is NOT the battery. When you turned the bluetooth on, only hold the power button until the blue light flashes about 3 times. If blue tooth is enabled on your phone, this should allow the bluetooth to connect without having to search for any devices, that is, if you already have it in your settings.

The red and blue alternating lights are to setup the bluetooth and allow it to connect to your phone, THE FIRST TIME. Once the device is listed in the bluetooth settings on the phone, you can just connect, instead of searching for the device every time you need to turn it on.

Only hold the button until the bluetooth flashes BLUE, about 3 flashes........see if this works better for you.....

Another frustration, (sometimes) depends on what brand of phone you have. I know my EM227 connects differently between my DG Razr and my Samsung Eternity.

Let me know if this helps, and if not, let me know what phone you have, and I will tell you for sure, exactly how to turn on and connect, with no problems.

Good luck~~!

The solution for paring the explorer 240 is found in the bottom of the product page for the embedded link on the User Guide Link. I have also provided the instructions below. I hope this helps

How to Pair Your Phone With Your Headset for the First Time

1 Turn on the Bluetooth feature on your phone.
For most phones, select Settings/Tools > Connections >
Bluetooth > On. See your phone’s user guide for more information.
2 Turn the headset on.
Turn on your headset by sliding the Power Switch toward the microphone. Wait until the indicator light flashes red then blue.
If you don’t see the red then blue flashes, turn the headset off, then turn it on again. Press and hold the Call Control button until you see the red then blue flashes that indicate pairing mode status.
3 Set your Bluetooth phone to ‘discover’ to locate the headset.
This usually involves going to ‘setup’, ‘connect’ or ‘Bluetooth’ menu on your phone and selecting the option to ‘discover’ or ‘add a device’.
4 Once available headsets are listed, select your headset (for example 2XXPlantronics or 3XXPlantronics). If prompted for a passkey, enter 0000.
When pairing is successful, the indicator on your headset flashes blue. Your phone will also confirm when pairing is complete.

To get it into pairing mode (flashing red and blue) turn the headset off.  Hold the main button down until the light goes red and then off.  Then push and hold that same button and keep holding it even after the blue light comes on.  It will now go into pairing mode, flashing red and blue.  Set your cell phone to find it and it should work.

start in the off position press and hold the talk button and you will hear a tone continue to hold for another 7 seconds (10 seconds total) then the light should be flashing blue then red it is now in discovery mode now take the divice you are trying to pair it with and do a search for blue tooth devices. once it is found you may need a password it is 0000 as is the default password for all blue tooth devices hope this helps.

before attempting to pair your headset with another device, be sure that the bluetooth headset is in the off position

• press and hold MFB until indicator light flashes blue and red. The headset will also beep twice
• to pair your device to the bluetooth headset use the bluetooth pairing instructions from you device's instrucition manual.
• input ID code 0000 when requested by the device
• the headset and device are paired correctly when the blue and red indicator light flashes blue only.
