My blue parrot b250-xt stopped connecting to my phone/any phone. Phone says its paired and hooked up but it blinks red and don't work what's da deal????

turn on bluretooth then delete all pairings then turn on headphones and use phone to search for new devices

Eileen,

There are 2 parts to bluetooth. Step 1 is pairing. You need to set the phone AND the headset to detect each other (pairing mode). The phone is the easy part - it will tell you on the screen that it is searching for the headset. The headset has a specific way to put it in detect/pair mode. Sometimes it is holding down the power button for 5 seconds or longer. When the phone detects the headset, it will ask for the password and allow you to name it.

Sometimes, the phones already try the default 0000 passcodes and connect automatically.

Step 2 is connecting to the bluetooth device.

If you are connected and can make and receive calls, you don't need to do anything anymore.

Best of luck.

Depending on the cell phone, you will need to connect to the headset AFTER pairing. Pairing just lets the phone know that the headset exists. Connecting to the headset will allow actual use. What phone are you trying to connect it to?

Make sure you device is in visible mode first. In power off condition of headset, press on button for 30 seconds. When blue lights starts blinking fast then search on device and add it.

1. You must start with the headset in the OFF position. Put the headset in pairing mode by Pressing and holding the Multi-Function Button until the lights are flashing alternating Red and Blue, you will then release the Multi-Function Button. Please note the headset will continue flashing Red and Blue until the paring cycle times out (approximately 2 minutes) or completes the paring with the cell phone. If you only press and release the Multi-Function Button the headset will not go into the paring mode.

2. Once the headset is in paring mode, go to the Bluetooth menu / connections of your cell phone. Select add new / search for / find new device (different phones have different but similar names for the options). The cell phone should find a device called VXi B250-XT. Move the cursor over the VXi B250-XT and press (OK, select, enter, or whatever your phone uses for a prompt). If the cell phone asks for a passkey code you will put in 0000 (four zero's). The headset will then pair and connect to the cell phone and be blinking Blue once every second. Your phone may ask you if you want to connect to the B250-XT and/or add it to your trusted device list, press (OK, select, enter, or whatever your phone uses for a prompt).

A trip over to VXI's website and you'll find instructions on setting up the headset.

try this: have both on but not in use,plug the charger in for 10 secs only then unplug, watch lites go from red to blue then flashing just blue at a rate of 1x per second. that resets it. worked for me.i called the company

1. Turn headset off (panel 5).
2. Hold down the headset’s MFB until the red and blue lights
flash and you hear 2 rising tones, followed by 4 more tones.
Important: Wait for all tones and for both lights to flash. This
may take up to 15 sec. Release the MFB.
3. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for putting your
cellular phone into Bluetooth discovery mode.
4. Wait 5-15 sec. while the devices discover each other.
When the phone discovers the headset, select “Pair” and
enter a passcode of 0000 when instructed. When pairing
is complete the headset’s blue light will stop flashing and
the phone will prompt you to ‘connect’ to the headset.
Enter “Yes” on the phone to connect to the headset. When
connected, the blue light will flash indicating that the
headset is in standby mode ready to receive a call.

USER GUIDE

The problem with the Blue Parrot headset not getting audio from the phone is a very frustrating one and it took several hours to diagnose the problem. (Especially the Samsung/ Windows side, in my case)
