1. Introduction
The Nokia Wireless Stereo Headset (HS-12W) allows you to make and receive
phone calls, and listen to FM radio and music tracks.
Read this user guide carefully before using the headset. Read also the user guide
for your phone, which provides important safety and maintenance information.
Keep the headset out of reach of small children.
■ Radio data system (RDS)
The FM radio of the headset supports the RDS technology. RDS allows you to view
the name of the selected radio channel on the headset display. RDS also keeps the
headset automatically tuned into the selected radio channel as long as the
channel is available in your location. RDS may not work with all radio channels or
in all countries.
■ Bluetooth wireless technology
Bluetooth wireless technology makes it possible to connect compatible
communication devices without using cables. A Bluetooth connection does not
require that the phone and the headset be in line of sight, but both devices should
be within 10 meters (30 feet) of each other. Connections can be subject to
interference from obstructions, such as walls, or other electronic devices.
The wireless headset is compliant with Bluetooth Specification 2.0 supporting the
following profiles: Headset Profile 1.1, Hands-free Profile 1.0, Advanced Audio
Copyright © 2005 Nokia. All rights reserved.
6
Distribution Profile (A2DP) 1.0, Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) 1.0,
and General Audio/Video Distribution Profile (GAVDP) 1.0. Check with the
manufacturers of other devices to determine their compatibility with this device.
There may be restrictions on using Bluetooth technology in some locations. Check
with your local authorities or service provider.

4. Battery information
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The full performance of a new battery is
achieved only after two or three complete charge and discharge cycles. The battery can be
charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out. Recharge your
battery only with Nokia approved chargers designated for this device.
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use. Do not leave a
fully charged battery connected to a charger, since overcharging may shorten its lifetime. If
left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over time.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery that is
damaged.
Leaving the device in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter
conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the
battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). A device with a hot or cold battery may not
work temporarily, even when the battery is fully charged. Battery performance is particularly
limited in temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Batteries may also explode if
damaged. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Please recycle when possible.
Do not dispose as household waste.
