Frequently asked questions

1. How far away from my phone will my JABRA FreeSpeak 250 work?

The operating range is typically up to 30 feet.

2. Will JABRA FreeSpeak 250 work with my cordless phone at home?

FreeSpeak 250 is not designed for use with cordless phones.

3. Will JABRA FreeSpeak 250 work with laptops, PCs,and PDAs?

FreeSpeak 250 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 FreeSpeak 250?

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 FreeSpeak 250 interfere with my car’s electronics,radio, or computer?

FreeSpeak 250 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 FreeSpeak 250?

• 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.

Warranty and parts replacement

Glossary

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. More information is available at www.bluetooth.com

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.

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.

particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

•

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

•

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

•

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

•

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

The user must place the base 8”(20cm) or more from any personnel in order to comply with FCC RF exposure requirements.

Industry Canada

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:(1) This device may not cause interference and (2) This device must accept any interference,including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
