STOP: BEFORE USING YOUR HEADSET
Check phone compatibility

Drive safely

The Jabra BT250v is compatible with most Bluetooth (see Glossary) phones that are compliant with Bluetooth version 1.1 or higher specification and support the headset and/or hands-free profile(s). Ensure that your phone has Bluetooth capability by either visiting your phone manufacturers web site or Jabras web site at www.jabra.com Jabra also provides Bluetooth headsets for most non Bluetooth phones.
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.)

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

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 phones 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.
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
