My hs850 My bluetooth i assume will take a charge because the light turns on when i plug it in to the charger but when i go to turn the thing on i get nothing. Any suggestions?

It is charged when the red light goes out. Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button for one second and an audible will give you the battery charge level - high - medium - low.

Hi,to complete the look of a tech-savvy, iPhone-using individual, you must have a Bluetooth headset to accompany it. You can pair any Bluetooth headset with an iPhone. The Motorola HS850 is no exception to this. Both Motorola and Apple's Bluetooth set-up process is fast, so you'll be talking with people through your new Bluetooth on your iPhone in a matter of minutes.

Instructions

Charge the Motorola HS850 headset fully before attempting to pair. Usually, it takes two to three hours to charge the headset.

Press and hold the "Call" button (has a phone icon on it) on the headset for six to 10 seconds. The outside LED light will turn on indicating that the phone is in pairing mode.

Choose "Settings" on the iPhone homescreen.

Select "General," then "Bluetooth."

Select to turn Bluetooth on.

Wait for the phone to search for in-range devices.

Select theMotorola HS850 from the list of devices.

Enter the headset passkey to complete the pairing. By default this is "0000."

Have a nice day..

power off the bluetooth device and start the search on your ipod then turn the bluetooth device on. This will reset it sometimes.

First fully charge bluetooth.close bluetooth flip/turn on power by press button in the midle and open flip look blue light not flashing ok for pairing.if not do again and again,pairing only light stay on no flashing.

You can't just buy a bluetooth charger unless you call motorola yourself and special order it with the manual. Here is the number

1-800-331-6456 Mon-Fri 7AM-10PM; Sat-Sun 9AM-6PM CST The manual for the bluetooth you can ask for when you call too. Sorry about the mishap, best of luck to you!

There actually is a trick to the HS850 - flip the boom closed, then hold down the button just until the light holds solid - IMMEDIATELY after it does flip the boom open and this should keep the light solid. Then on your cell/device search for bluetooth devices - you should be able to find it now. Passkey for most devices is 0000.

UGH I had such a hard time with this, because it isn't clearly explained.
So here is a solution that should work (it worked for me!):

1. Go to Settings, Bluetooth, and Go to the "Paired Device" menu and leave it open.When it asks to turn BT on, you can do so.
2. This is the part here that screws everyone up. Take the headset and press and hold the multifunction button. KEEP IT HELD DOWN! The light should turn on and stay on. While you are holding it, open the microphone. The light should have been on while you were doing this and still be on. If it didn't stay on the whole way try again from when the mic is closed.
3. Remember the "paired device" menu? Select "New" and it will auto search for the headset.
4. It should be found quickly. The headset (that you should still be holding down but with mic open) will blink, then your phone will ask if you want to pair with Motorola HS850. Say ok, then it will ask for passcode 0000.
5. The headset will blink and the phone will say it was successful, and ask if you want it to be turned on. Say yes and make a test call. It should be fine from there.
Hope it helps!

I think your guess is right a new battery may be required but try leaving it on charge for 12hrs or so sometimes if they havn't been used for a long time they go dormant and it takes a realy good charge to get them going

go to bluetooth on ur phone and select Hs850 delete device. then hold multifunction button until blue then open boom search for new devices from thee cell.
