Thank you

Thank you for purchasing the Jabra BT500 Bluetooth® Headset. We hope you enjoy it! This instruction manual will get you started and ready to make the most of your headset.

Remember, driving comes first, not the call!

Using a mobile phone while driving can distract you and increase the likelihood of an accident. If driving conditions demand it (such as bad weather, high traffic density, presence of children in the car, difficult road conditions), pull off the road and park before making or answering calls. Also, try to keep conversations short and do not make notes or read documents.

Always drive safely and follow local laws.

Using a Jabra Bluetooth adaptor

The pairing process is a little different:

• Put your Jabra BT500 in pairing mode.

• Put the Jabra A210 adaptor in pairing mode.
