How do I pair my Motorola H500 headset to my Iphone 4s, it keeps searching> Is is compatible

Starting with your headset turned off, press and hold the call button for more than 6 seconds, until the indicator light is steadily lit (you'll notice that the light will flash as if the headset was being turned on, but don't release the button at this step). You headset is now in pairing mode. Now, make your phone's bluetooth application search for new devices. After a while, the H500 will appear on the phone screen. If a pairing code (or PIN, or passkey) is requested, enter '0000' (four zeros).

Hope it works for you.

Cheers! Carlos

Be sure the the headset in in 'Pairing' mode.
When in pairing mode, the light should be flashing red and blue or have a steady blue.
The put most headsets in pairing mode, turn headset OFF, then hold the power button until it goes into pairing mode as discribed above.
Then you can discover it with your phone or PC. Pin (pass key) should be 0000 (4 Zeros) or try 1111, 1234, 9999

Real easy go to the iphone and settings go to bluetooth and it will said in discovery mode.
then go through the pairing of your headset sontrols and the iPhone will say enter password then enter 0000 or whatever your H500 manual says.
If you have already paired the H500 with another phone you need to reset that. this is also covered in the manual which can be found online at motorola.com

Try this link. It solved my issue www.scribd.com/doc/280088/motorola-h500-bluetooth-earpiece-manual. Basically what you need to do is power the earpiece off. Make sure that your IPhone is not currently attempting to discover bluetooth devices (i.e. Bluetooth is OFF). Hold the On button on your earpiece (it has the symbol of a phone on it) for 6-10 seconds. The light on the earpiece remains lit. Now your earpiece is in discovery mode. On your IPhone, go to Settings, General, Bluetooth. Turn Bluetooth ON. Now your phone and your earpiece are both in discovery mode. When you see "Headset" listed, select it and enter the password "0000". Your IPhone is now paired with your H500 headset.

Hi,
If you have lost the pairing on your phone with the headset follow these simple steps below:
• Setting the headset into pairing mode
1) Ensure the headset is fully charged
2) The headset must be switch off
3) Press and hold the on button for +- 8 seconds until the light flashes red-blue
4) The headset is now in pairing mode
• Searching for the headset on the phone
1) Go to “settings” or “connections”
2) Select Bluetooth, then options
3) Select Devices and click add
4) The phone should search for any available Bluetooth devices and display what was found
5) Select the Motorola device and click add
6) You will be required to enter in a pass code which is standard ‘0000’.
7) If successful then the headset will start flashing BLUE every few seconds.
8) If it’s a Samsung or Nokia phone you will need to “AUTHORIZE” headset on the device.
• The headset is now paired with the phone

Hope this helps

I just did this successfully. Trick was: (1) be sure your headset is fully charged and in the "ON" mode... to do this, you must hold down the power key (the one with the little phone receiver on it) on the H500 for 8 seconds or more or until the blue light is on steadily; (3) THEN go to the Settings & Tools menu on the enV, select #7 'Bluetooth Menu' and then select Add New Device. It will search for your headset automatically - note: the headset has to be powered on for this to work. Then 'pair' will appear as a menu option, select it, and it will pair automatically.

I figuered it out.........you have to push and hold the BT button down as the phone searches for it. Good to go.

It may be a compatibility issue with the H700. You may want to make sure the volume is turned up fully on the headset as well.
Good Luck

I have a Motorola H500 headset & was having the same problem. I think it's all in the timing. With the headset off, hold down the Call button for 6 to 10 seconds until the light stays lit--solid light, not blinking. This is when the headset is in "discoverable" mode. Immediately access the settings & tools menu on the phone, then to the bluetooth communication settings to locate & pair the phone with the headset. Hope this helps with your devices.

Turn off your earpiece.Then turn it back on but hold the button until the blue light comes on and stays on.(that puts it in discovery mode) Now go to bluetooth devices in you r phone and search for the device.
