Level 3*More than 8 hours on phone/day
Level 4 (TT4)Recommended Australian protection level (Telstra)
*Compliant with Directive 2003/10/EC of the European Parliament and Council of 6 February 2003.
8.2 WIRELESS RANGE
The Jabra PRO 9450 supports a maximum wireless range of up to 150 meters. Physical obstructions and
electromagnetic interference may shorten this range.
Headset sound quality may slowly deteriorate the further the headset is away from the base, and may improve
the closer the headset is to the base. When the headset is completely out of range, a unique tone (three quick
descending notes) will be played in the headset every few seconds.
If the headset is on a call when moved out of range, the audio will be lost; however the call will remain active at
the base for 120 seconds. To restore audio to the call, move the headset back in range of the base.
If the headset remains out of range of the base for more than an hour, the headset will power down to conserve
battery.

8.3 HEADSET DENSITY LIMITS
Using multiple Jabra PRO headsets in one area may have an eect on headset performance and sound quality.
The recommended limit for the number of headsets in one area before call connections may be lost will depend
on EU or US DECT. The Jabra PRO 9450 uses US DECT, if purchased in the US, and EU DECT for the rest of the world.

9.1 FAQS AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Q The desk phone/softphone state icon is grayed out on the base keypad. What does this mean?
A The phone is not the current target, or the phone is unplugged.
Q How do I pair my headset with the Jabra PRO 9450 base?
A Dock the headset with the base to initiate pairing. Pairing will occur automatically, unless the base can
establish a link with a primary headset.
Q Is it possible to dock my headset on another base from the Jabra PRO 9400 series?
A Yes. The headset can be docked with any Jabra PRO 9400 series base.
Q Can I pair my headset directly with a third-party DECT phone?
A No. The headset can only be paired with a Jabra PRO 9400 series base.
Q Why doesn’t my computer detect the Jabra PRO 9450 base?
A Try connecting the base to another USB port on the PC. It is recommended to have a direct connection
between the base and USB port (without a USB hub).

A Check the following:
• Ensure the headset battery is charged. The keypad battery icon will be green when charging,
or yellow when charged.
• Ensure the headset is in range of the base. Up to 150 meters, depending on environment.
• Ensure the headset and base are paired. Dock the headset to initiate pairing.

A Check the following:
• Ensure the base is powered on.
• Ensure desk phone is the current target. The keypad desk phone icon will be white.
• Ensure there is an audio connection between desk phone and base.
Tap the keypad desk phone button to establish an audio connection.
• Ensure there is a dial tone. Lift the desk phone handset, or press the headset button on the desk phone,
to get a dial tone.
• Re-run the desk phone section of the Interactive Setup Wizard.
Q Why do I hear a low noise in the headset when there is silence at the other end?
A The headset speaker volume might be too high. To decrease the volume, slide your nger down the headset
touch panel.

Ensure the battery´s label faces outwards.
8. Screw the speaker plate back onto the headset.
Q Why am I getting a buzzing sound in my headset?

11. GLOSSARY
DECT
(Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications). DECT is an ETSI standard for digital portable phones (cordless
home telephones), commonly used for domestic or corporate purposes.
Firmware
The software that is embedded in a hardware device, for example any Jabra headset or base.
Hookswitch
The control mechanism that answers and hangs up a call on a telephone. When you place the handset in the
telephone cradle, it depresses the switch hook’s button and hangs up (puts the phone “on hook”).
Jabra PC Suite
A collection of PC software that enables the conguration of the Jabra PRO 9450. The Jabra PC Suite also includes
drivers for various softphones on the market.
Multi-function Button
This button is located on the top of the headset. It is used for call handling on the target phone. Using taps,
double-taps and presses, you can answer calls, end calls, switch between held calls, and more.
Narrowband Audio
Narrowband can also be used with the audio spectrum to describe sounds which occupy a narrow range of
frequencies. In telephony, narrowband is usually considered to cover frequencies 300–3400 Hz. A narrowband
channel occupies less space in the radio spectrum than a wideband channel.
Pairing
Creates a unique and encrypted link between a DECT base and a DECT headset and enables them to communicate with each other. DECT devices will not communicate if they have not been paired.
Softphone
A piece of software for making telephone calls over the Internet using a PC, rather than using dedicated hardware. Often a softphone is designed to behave like a traditional telephone, sometimes appearing as an image of
a phone, with a display panel and buttons with which the user can interact.
A softphone is usually used with a headset connected to the sound card of the PC, or with a USB headset.
Softphone Driver
Establishes a control link between a softphone and your Jabra headset, so you can answer and end, mute and
un-mute, and hold and resume calls using the buttons on your headset. The actual call control functions available
for the headset depend on the capabilities of the softphone and the Jabra headset model.
Wideband Audio
Sometimes also called HD Audio, this is an audio technology used in telephony. It extends the frequency range
of sound travelling over telephone lines, resulting in higher quality voice transmission. The human ear can detect
ranges from 80 hertz to 14,000 hertz. Traditional, or narrowband telephone calls, limit audio frequencies to the
range of 300 to 3400 hertz. Wideband audio eliminates the majority of bandwidth limitations and transmits in
the range of 30 hertz to 7000 hertz or higher.

to local standards and regulations.
