Battery replacement How do I replace the battery in an H500 bluetooth headset? Unit's not connecting properly anymore. It's over a year old. Not keeping a charge. Ready to pry chassis apart to get at battery. Don't want to break unit.

Why do you think you need to replace the battery? A common sign that your Motorola Bluetooth headset needs a new battery is when you repeatedly hear five quick high tones in successive, one-minute intervals. Another symptom of a low or dead battery is when you try to scroll to Power and your headset doesn't come on. The Motorola H500 headset has a long battery life, but the battery eventually will go bad. Unfortunately, the battery is integrated as part of the headset's circuitry and should not be replaced by its user. Motorola strongly advises against trying to change the battery. Attempting to replace the battery voids the headset's warranty. By sending the headset to Motorola for repair, you can have a new battery installed without the risk of damage to your equipment.
But you can try the following at your own risk:
Locate the battery door at the rear of the headset and open it.
Remove the old battery. Install a new battery to match the plus and minus illustrations on the battery compartment. Shut the battery door back in place.
Select "Menu" on your phone. Select "Settings."
Select "Connection," "Bluetooth Link," and "Setup."
Select "Power." Select "Change."
Select "On," and then press "Select."
Press the "Call" button and hold it down. Release it when the LED light blinks.

If your headset is showing a green light when it is plugged into the charger it means the battery is receiving power. If you remove the unit from the charger and it will not turn on or function properly there is likely an issue with one of the control circuits. Without seeing the unit we would not be able to tell you which circuit is experiencing some sort of issue but the unit does need service. The VXi, Blueparrott B250-XT has a one year repair warranty from date of purchase. Please call our After Market Services Department at 800-742-8588 x2011 to obtain a return authorization number (or RA#). After you have received your RA# you may send us your headset to us via any means you choose (prepaid) with your RA# marked on the package, please include a copy of your invoice or receipt. If you do not have a copy of your proof of purchase we use the production date in the serial number as the warranty default start date. The After Market Services group will either replace your unit with like new product or repair your headset as necessary. In either case, our goal is to turn the unit around for outbound shipping in two business days (please note this goal can be affected by volume at the time your unit arrives).

We hope this information is helpful to you. Feel free to visit us on line at www.vxicorp.com for more details on our warranty process as well as FQA information for all of VXi's products.

i have htc smart phone i got motorola h500 bluetooth headset but its not shown signal in my mobile what can i do?

This is a common issue with headsets is they stop working properly when they go bad. Not all of them of course, and the symptoms are different. Take it back and get a replacement.

They do not make earhooks alone. You must send it back and they will replace the whole unit.

Hey guys. found it. Go to
www.simoncells.com
then go to manuals
than click on the H500 Bluetooth.
It will walk you through step by step its pretty easy..


Or, you can do it easier.
- Press and hold the Power/Call buttom for 6-10 seconds, until there is a steady blue light
- when there is a steady blue light, go to your phone's Menu, then click on Bluetooth, than Handsfree, It will then start locating your bluetooth. In about 3-5 seconds it will pop up as H500.
-Connect to H500, or push Yes to Connect. (which ever way your phone tells you)
-It will then ask for a password. ALL PASSWORDS ARE THE SAME;AND CANNOT BE CHANGED.
- YOUR PASSWORD IS 0000. typle that in.

Congratulations! Your Now Connected.!

Good luck guys.
