Using a mobile phone while driving creates a distraction to the driver which may increase the likelihood of an accident.

When using the phone while driving, keep conversations short and do not make notes or read documents. Before answering calls consider your circumstances. Pull off the road and park before making or answering calls when driving conditions require (e.g. bad weather, high traffic density, presence of children in the car, difficult junctions or maneuvers.)

Remember, driving comes first, not the call!

Abide by local laws.

Check phone compatibility

STOP: BEFORE USING YOUR HEADSET

The Jabra BT250v is compatible with most Bluetooth¹ (see Glossary) phones that are compliant with Bluetooth version 1.1 or higher specification and support the headset and/or hands-free profile(s)

². Ensure that your phone has Bluetooth capability by either

visiting your phone manufacturer’s web site or Jabra’s web site at www.jabra.com

Jabra also provides Bluetooth headsets for most non Bluetooth phones.

Charge Jabra BT250v

Jabra BT250v uses a rechargeable battery that must be charged fully before you use the headset for the first time.

1. Fully insert the headset into the charging cradle.

2. Plug the Jabra BT250v AC adapter into the headset’s charging cradle.

3. Plug the AC adapter into the electrical outlet.

4. Charge your headset until the blue light on Jabra BT250v turns off. The unit will be fully charged in approximately 2 hours.

5. Unplug the AC adapter from the charging cradle.

6. Remove the headset from the charging cradle. You are now ready to “pair” Jabra BT250v to your mobile phone. If the headset has already been paired to your phone, then you can begin using it.

WARNING: Do not attempt to charge Jabra BT250v with anything other than the AC

adaptor provided. Using another AC adaptor may damage or destroy the headset.

IMPORTANT: The blue indicator light will be on while charging and will turn off

when charging is complete. Removing the headset from the charging cradle while it’s charging will put the headset into standby mode and stop the charging sequence.

IMPORTANT: Jabra BT250v cannot be used while charging.

Read the glossary

Once Jabra BT250v is fully charged, continue with these instructions.

Pairing³ will create a unique and encrypted wireless link between two Bluetooth enabled devices such as your Bluetooth phone and Jabra BT250v.

1. Ensure the headset is off

(see Turning headset on/off

section)

2. Press and hold until you see a

solid blue light

(approximately 8 seconds), then release* (see Fig. 2)

3. Set your Bluetooth phone to “discover” the headset by following your phone’s instruction guide. Typically, the steps involve going to a “setup,” “connect,” or “Bluetooth” menu on your phone and then selecting the option to “discover” a Bluetooth device.

4. Your phone will find the “Jabra BT250v” headset and ask if you want to pair with it. Confirm this by pressing “yes” or “ok."

5. Enter passkey or PIN

⁴ = 0000 (4 zeros), then press “yes” or “ok."

Tips for Nokia Bluetooth phones

(Such as Nokia 6310 and 8910 series)

Set the following menu options:

•

Menu > Bluetooth > View Paired Devices > select your headset, press “Options”

> Request conn. authorization? — No

Enhanced features (for Bluetooth phones with hands-free profiles)

Check your phone’s instruction guide or contact the phone manufacturer if you are not sure if your phone supports the hands-free Bluetooth profile.

You can enable these enhanced features by using the following alternative pairing sequence.

Frequently asked questions

1. How far away from my phone will my Jabra BT250v work?

The operating range is typically up to 30 feet (10 meters).

2. Will Jabra BT250v work with my cordless phone at home?

Jabra BT250v is not designed for use with cordless phones.

3. Will Jabra BT250v work with laptops, PCs, and PDAs?

Jabra BT250v will work with devices that are compliant with Bluetooth version 1.1 or

higher specifications and support the headset and/or hands-free profile(s).

4. Will anything cause interference with my conversation when I’m using my Jabra BT250v?

Appliances such as cordless phones and wireless networking equipment may

cause interference with your conversation, usually adding a crackling noise. To reduce any interference, keep the headset away from other devices that use or produce radio waves.

5. Will my Jabra BT250v interfere with my car’s electronics, radio, or computer?

Jabra BT250v produces significantly less power than a typical mobile phone. It also

only emits signals that are in compliance with the international Bluetooth standard. Therefore, you should not expect any interference with standard consumer-grade electronics equipment.

6. Can other Bluetooth phone users hear my conversation?

When you pair your headset to your Bluetooth phone, you are creating a private link

between only these two Bluetooth devices. The wireless Bluetooth technology used in your headset is not easily monitored by third parties because Bluetooth wireless signals are significantly lower in radio frequency power than those produced by a typical mobile phone.

7. What material is the headset made of?

The MiniGel is made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride), a form of plastic. The headset itself

is primarily made of thermoplastic polyurethane, which is a soft plastic. The face of the headset, where the buttons are located, is made of polycarbonate, a very strong, hard plastic. Neither the MiniGel nor the headset contains latex.

8. How do I take care of Jabra BT250v?

• To clean the headset, use a clean, soft cloth that is slightly damp

• To clean the MiniGel, remove it from the headset by gently lifting and pulling it off the speaker housing. Then, wash it in warm, soapy water

Glossary

1 Bluetooth is a radio technology developed to connect devices, such as mobile

phones and headsets, without wires or cords over a short distance of approximately 30 feet (10 meters). More information is available at www.bluetooth.com

2 Bluetooth profiles are protocols through which Bluetooth devices communicate

with other devices. Bluetooth phones support different sets of profiles – most support the headset profile but some support the hands-free profile and others support both profiles. In order to support a certain profile, a phone manufacturer has to implement certain mandatory features within the phone’s software.

3 Pairing creates a unique and encrypted communication link between two Bluetooth

enabled devices and allows them to communicate with each other. Bluetooth devices will not work if the devices have not been paired with each other.

4 Passkey or PIN is a secret code that needs to be entered on the phone in order to

pair the mobile phone with Jabra BT250v. When you have already paired your mobile phone with Jabra BT250v, the phone and headset will recognize each other and the phone will bypass the discovery and authentication process and automatically accept the transmission.

5 Active mode is when the headset has an active call in progress. Jabra BT250v will go

from standby mode into active mode when you receive a call or when you make a call. When Jabra BT250v is in active mode, the blue light will flash every second.

6 Standby mode is when the headset is passively waiting for a call. When you “end”

the call on your mobile phone, Jabra BT250v will go into standby mode. When Jabra BT250v is in standby mode, the blue light will flash every three seconds.
