I can't get my Polaroid Bluetooth headphones to pair or show up on my phone

I wrote this tip a few years ago. You have to press the Bluetooth connect button on the headphones for it to reach out to the phone whilst the phone is in Searching mode.
Pairing Bluetooth Devices
Posters often ask "How do I pair my Bluetooth ???" Insert whatever device you have at the question marks.

Generally, you need to read the instructions for the camera, headset, speakers or whatever the Bluetooth device is.

Roughly speaking though.

Settings - Bluetooth - Search, on the Android, iPhone, Windows phone whatever.

With camera, speaker, headphones or whatever the Bluetooth device is, you have to press a button on that device to send out the signal. On my Bowers and Wilkins T6 Speakers, there is a button on the top with the Bluetooth symbol on it. This is the part people usually don't do and ask for advice, thinking it will do this automatically.

When the Android device recognizes it, click Pair, and if it asks for a code, the Default is '0000', (four zeros, no quotes).

The first thing you'll need to do in order to pair your Bluetooth headphones is to make them discoverable. Turn on your headphones and press the Bluetooth discovery button. On AirPods, it's the small button on the back side of the case.
While your Bluetooth headphones are discoverable, say, "Alexa, pair my [Name] headphones. If everything is ready, Alexa will automatically pair with your headphones and you're ready to go.
If you're not in a situation where you can or want to talk to Alexa, you can manually pair your headphones. You're going to need to actually touch your Amazon Echo Show screen for these steps, which is nice because ... you know, it's a touchscreen.

1. Swipe down from the top of your Echo Show screen and then tap Settings.
2. Tap Bluetooth.
3. Select your headphones.

Your headphones will pair with the Amazon Echo Show and audio will begin streaming to them instead of the built-in speaker.

Make sure the headphones are in the searchable mode or try searching from the headphones instead of the PC.

I think there issnt any support for these headphone on a win7 or lower OS. I mailed Polaroid asking for help, but there aren't support for older windows.. mine is working fine on my windows10 laptop, but on my windows 7 workstation, I cant get it working either..

It shows up as a "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" but there aren't drivers available for it.

Try turning the volume down on your phone,or are you sure that the two have paired correctly

Because you use the word 'pair' I have to assume that your headphones are Bluetooth-enabled. If this is the case, you can pair and connect the headphones to your phone and/or your iPad, which are, like most, if not all, phones and tablets, Bluetooth-enabled. On the other hand, very few desktop computers and/or laptops are Bluetooth-enabled. Your computer does not recognize your Bluetooth-enabled headphones because it is not Bluetooth-enabled.

hi June,
I assume you are using a Plantronics wireless headphone? ensure your phone is on and Bluetooth is switched on in your phone settings.
hold the button on the headphone until the light starts flashing, if this does not happen ensure the headphone is charged. in Bluetooth options on your phone ensure your phone is set to "can be seen by other devices" and then use "scan devices" to find your headphone, if you see Plantronics in the list select it and press "pairing" this will then connect the headset to the phone. once paired, everytime your headset is on and Bluetooth is on, you need to just press the button on the headset and it will automatically connect to your phone.(as long as the headset name is not deleted from the Bluetooth list)

If your phone does not show in the headset in the Bluetooth list, keep the phone scanning and press the button on the headset to start the light flashing this is now causing the headset to search for the phone. once the headset shows in the phone list do as above.

I hope this was useful.

After charging, turn on headset by pushing the power button until the charging led turns red and flashes. continue to hold the button until the light flashes red and green. Go to your phone or device bluetooth settings page and search for devices, it should show up as TPRO HP500BT. Select device and select to Pair with this device. The light should start flashing red really fast, then it should be paired!

Hi, In some states, hands free driving is the law. In order to avoid a ticket you need to talk on your cell phone with a bluetooth headset or speaker or with a headset that attaches directly into the phone. Bluetooth headsets are popular for this and other reasons but connecting it to your phone can be confusing. Here are some steps to help you connect your bluetooth device to your cell phone.

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

* Bluetooth headset
* Bluetooth capable cell phone



Read the owners manual for your bluetooth device. You will need to find the code to pair your headset to your phone. This code is usually 0000 (those are zeroes) but verify before you proceed.


Enter your bluetooth option on your cell phone. These can be found in your menu under "bluetooth," "connections," "settings," or something similar.


Turn on your bluetooth headset and put it in pairing mode. Pairing mode means the bluetooth is ready to be found by your cell phone. To pair your headset, follow the owners manual for your specific bluetooth model.



Select "add device" or "search for new device" from your cell phone. Your cell phone will then search for your bluetooth. Once it is found, or discovered, you will need to enter the pairing code (most likely 0000, check your manual to verify).


Select "connect" to finalize the connection if the bluetooth headset didn't connect automatically after the pairing code was entered. Make a test call with your bluetooth in your ear to ensure it is connected properly.


Hope it helped.
