Preparing your JABRA FreeSpeak
Charging the battery and talk time
Before using FreeSpeak you will need to put the headset in its
charging cradle and charge it fully. (The headset may be either on
or off.) Insert FreeSpeak carefully by holding it on both sides and
pushing it in while rotating counterclockwise, as shown below. To
remove the headset, carefully hold the headset on both sides and
pull while rotating clockwise, following the same sequence shown
below, but in reverse.

To begin charging:
1. Plug the AC power adapter into the charging cradle.
2. Plug the AC power adapter’s plug into an electrical wall outlet.
3. While charging, the indicator light on the headset is on and
remains lit until charging is complete. The FreeSpeak headset
indicator light will only turn on if the headset is fully inserted into
its charging cradle. If the light on the FreeSpeak still does not turn
on, see Troubleshooting.
4. Charge the unit for approximately 2 hours or until the indicator
light goes out.
5. You can now remove the headset from the charging cradle.
If you remove your headset from the charging cradle (with the AC
power adapter plugged in), then your headset will automatically turn
on (standby mode). If there is an incoming call and your headset is in
the charging cradle (with the AC power adapter plugged in), then you
can answer the call on your headset simply by removing your headset
from the charging cradle.

Full charging provides up to 3 hours of talk time or up to 100 hours
of standby time. FreeSpeak’s battery does not need to be completely
used before charging. If the charger is left connected, it will not
overcharge the battery.
Low battery warning indicators: The headset needs to be recharged
(steps 1-5) when you hear 3 rapid high-pitched tones through the
headset’s speaker at 30 second intervals, or when you see the
indicator flash quickly 3 times every 3 seconds. Once the low battery
indicators start, you have approximately 3 to 5 minutes of talk time
remaining.
Turning your headset ON and O FF
To turn your FreeSpeak ON:
1. Remove the headset from the charging cradle.
2. Press and hold the button firmly for at least 3 seconds until
the indicator light emits a very short burst of flashes and the
speaker emits a quick series of beeps in ascending order.
3. Without delay, release the button.
An indicator light on the outside of your FreeSpeak will flash every
3 seconds while the headset is turned on. The headset is now in
‘standby’ mode and ready for use. If you remove your headset from
the charging cradle (with the AC power adapter plugged in), then
your headset will automatically turn on (standby mode).
To turn your FreeSpeak OFF:
1. Press and hold the button firmly for at least 3 seconds until
the indicator light emits a very short burst of flashes and the
speaker emits a quick series of beeps in descending order.
2. Without delay, release the button. The headset is now turned off.
There will be no indicator light activity in this mode. You will need
to wait 5 seconds before turning it on again.
As long as you are recharging your headset regularly, you do not
need to turn your headset off after using it – you only need to end
the call (see Ending a call).
