Recently got the Sony Ericsson HBH-200 Bluetooth Headset.

Nice bit of kit ........ if the damn thing would work!!!

I swith it on, and as the manual says, the screen displays a scrolling message saying "Ready to add - prepare phone"

When I put my phone (T39m and P910i) in discovery mode they do not see the HBH-200.

If I put either one of the phones in Pairing Mode, again they do not see the phone.

Afer a while the phone reads "Failed" and automatically switches off.

As an experiment I tried to see if my laptop would see the device but that didn't work either.

I have read the manual and other Forum posts which say that you can press the On button and the Dial/Call button on the side simultaneously and this should allow you to enter a Menu whereby you would be able to reset the HBH-200 headset.

I tried that too, but it doesn't work. What I did notice is that it is not possible to press the two buttons at EXACTLY the same time - well, at least I couldn't, I always found that one button got pressed fractionally sooner than the other. Maybe that's the problem?

So does anyone have any suggestions?


Thanks in advance.

I was having the same problem, when trying to change the phone it was attached to.

what i did was ...

switch on
press on and dial buttons together to access menu

the 1st option displayed is ring tone
press +
2nd option is add new phone, press dial
switch on your phone's bluetooth
press dial on handsfree thingy
back to phone - search new devices

bingo - will see your handsfree - add it, and your sorted.

Hope it works ok for you.

Thanks guys for your responses.

The issue has now been resolved: it was simply faulty.

Got it changed under warranty.

But now I have a new problem. A common problem I know.

Basically, it is no longer working because the thin wire that leads to the air piece has worked itself loose and is shorting so if I move slightly whilst talking it cuts off and I get no sound.

I might send it back again to get the earpiece replaced.
