1. Enter pairing mode on this headset.

   Turn on the headset when you pair the headset with a device for the first time after you bought it or after you initialized the headset (the headset has no pairing information). The headset enters pairing mode automatically.

   When you pair a 2nd or subsequent device (the headset has pairing information for other devices), press and hold the

   
   button for about 7 seconds.
   

   Check that the blue indicator repeatedly flashes two times in a row. You will hear a voice guidance “Bluetooth pairing”.

   

2. Wake the computer up from sleep mode.

3. Register the headset using the computer.

   1. Select [
      
      (System Preferences)] - [Bluetooth] from the task bar in the lower right part of the screen.
      

   2. Select [WH-1000XM3] from the Bluetooth screen and click [Connect].
      

   If passkey (*) input is required on the display of the computer, input “0000.”

   The headset and computer are paired and connected with each other. You will hear a voice guidance “Bluetooth connected”.

   If they are not connected, see “Connecting to a paired computer (Mac)”.

   If [WH-1000XM3] does not appear on the display, try again from step 3.

4. Click the speaker icon in the upper right part of the screen and select [WH-1000XM3].

  • Pairing information has been deleted after repair, etc.
  • When a 9th device is paired
    The headset can be paired with up to 8 devices. If a new device is paired after 8 devices are already paired, the registration information of the paired device with the oldest connection date is overwritten with the information for the new device.
  • When the pairing information for the headset has been deleted from the Bluetooth device.
  • When the headset is initialized
    All of the pairing information is deleted. In this case, delete the pairing information for the headset from the device and then pair them again.
