SAFETY INFORMATION
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: Prolonged exposure to high volume levels can
damage your hearing. To avoid injury, set the volume to the lowest comfortable
level. If you experience ringing in your ears, or voices sound muffled, stop using the
headset. Avoid turning up the volume to block noisy surroundings. It’s possible for
your ears to adapt to volume that is too high, and this could result in permanent
hearing damage without any noticeable discomfort.
• Check with local and state laws regarding cell phone/headset usage while
operating a motor vehicle.
• Do not immerse any part of this product in water.
• Plastic bags and small parts may cause choking if ingested. Keep them away
from small children and pets.
• Use only the power cords included with this product.
• Avoid temperatures exceeding 140° F or 60° C (will cause equipment failure).

CHARGING THE HEADSET
Connect the USB charging cable
into the headset’s USB charging
port. If the headset is not fully
charged, the indicator will turn
red. When the indicator turns blue
and stays blue, the unit is fully
charged. A fully discharged battery
will need approximately 3.5 hours
to achieve a complete charge.
Battery Power Indicators
While charging, the MFB’s
indicator light shows the level of
battery power on your B550-XT
as follows:
Blue light: Fully charged. Over 24
hours’ talk time.
Red light: Less than a full charge.
For best performance, keep
charging headset when not in
use.

CHARGING THE HEADSET (continued)
Operation While Using the Charger/Adapter
The B550-XT headset will operate from battery power or from power supplied
via the USB cable.
NOTE: Do not attach the USB cable to a powered USB port mid-call. This will
cause the headset to reset, and the call will be sent back to the phone.
When the headset is operating from the battery, all indicator lights and sounds
will function as described in this guide.
When the headset is operating from power supplied via the USB cable, the
headset—including the audio indicators—will function as described in this user
guide. However, the MFB lights will indicate the battery charge status.
While the headset is on the charger, press the MFB long enough to power the
unit on. The headset should reconnect automatically unless your phone is set to
“always ask” for connection requests.
After the battery is fully charged, the MFB charge light will turn blue and stay
blue as long as a powered USB cable is connected to the headset. While the
headset is fully charged and the charge light is blue, the blue indicator light will
also be on if the headset is powered on.

GETTING STARTED
On/Off/Standby
Turn Headset On: Hold down the MFB for approximately 2-3 seconds until
you hear a voice prompt,“power on.” The red light will flash once every
second.
Turn Headset Off (conserves battery power): Hold down the MFB for
approximately 4–5 seconds until you hear a voice prompt “power off.” A red
light will flash 4 times and the headset will turn off.
Standby Mode: Once the headset is turned on (after the initial pairing), it will
attempt to connect to the last device that it was paired with, putting itself
into Standby Mode.
Pairing with a Phone
When you turn your B550-XT on for the
first time, or if its Paired Device List has
been cleared, it will go into pairing mode
automatically. You can pair the headset using
NFC or manually.
NFC (One-Touch) Pairing
1. Make sure that NFC is enabled on your cell
phone.
2. Place the NFC zone of your cell phone
against the NFC zone of the headset and
hold them together until your cell phone
registers the headset.
3. Follow the prompts on your cell phone to
complete pairing.
Note: NFC and One-Touch Pairing are
dependent on your cell phone. The size and
sensitivity of your phone’s NFC zone and the
specific way to connect the headset may vary
between devices.

Manual Pairing
If the B550-XT has already been paired with another device and you are not going to
use NFC Pairing, you will need to put it into Pairing Mode manually:
Placing Headset into Pairing Mode

holding the Volume Up button. Then, after the prompt, say “pair mode.” The headset
will enter pairing mode and be visible for pairing to devices for 120 seconds.
Using Buttons:
With the headset powered off, press the MFB until the light rapidly flashes blue and
you hear the audio prompt “power on.” Keep holding the MFB for approximately 10
seconds until you hear “Pair Mode.”
The headset will be visible for pairing to devices for 120 seconds.
Pairing to a Cell Phone
1. Make sure that other Bluetooth devices are turned off or out of range.
2. Place the headset into pairing mode.
3. Put your cell phone in Bluetooth Search/Scan Mode
per the manufacturer’s instructions.
4. Select “BlueParrott B550-XT” to pair. (Passcode is “0000” if needed.)
5. Accept the phone book access request to enable caller ID in the headset.
6. When connected, the headset will give you the voice prompt,
“Your headset is connected.”
GETTING STARTED (continued)
Wearing and Adjusting the B550-XT
To get the best performance from our noise-
canceling technology, position the microphone near
the corner of your mouth. Positioning is important;
small adjustments in microphone placement can
improve performance.
1. Place the headset on your head.
2. Position the speaker directly on your ear. You can
slide the headband in or out of the side support to
find the best fit for stability and comfort.
3. Position the microphone about one finger’s width
away from your face at the corner of your mouth.
The boom will rotate so you can position the
microphone correctly with the speaker on either ear.
