START `
1. Make sure headphones are off, and
close to the detector.
Ensure the headphones are turned off and are no more than
1 metre (3.3 feet) away from the detector.
2. Turn on the headphones and
enter pairing mode.
Long press for at
least 7 s
Press and hold the Multi-Function button on the headphones
until two ascending tones are heard and the Status LED

and enter pairing mode.
Long press for at
least 2.5 s
Press and hold the Bluetooth® button on the side of the
GPX 6000™ control panel until the Bluetooth® indicator begins
to flash rapidly.
For first-time use of the detector or following a factory reset, a
short press of the Bluetooth® button will immediately initiate the
pairing sequence.
4. Headphones will
automatically connect.
If pairing is successful, the headphones will beep, and the
Bluetooth® and wireless headphones indicators will remain on.
The Status LED on the headphones will flash blue once every
3 seconds during use.
