Preparing Your JABRA FreeSpeak
Charging the battery and talk time
Before using FreeSpeak you will need to put the headset in its charging cradle and charge it fully. (The headset may be either on or off.) Insert FreeSpeak carefully by holding it on both sides and pushing it in while rotating counterclockwise, as shown below. To remove the headset, carefully hold the headset on both sides and pull while rotating clockwise, following the same sequence shown below, but in reverse.
Full charging provides up to 3 hours of talk time or up to 96 hours of standby time. FreeSpeaks battery does not need to be completely used before charging. If the charger is left connected, it will not overcharge the battery. Low Battery Warning Indicators: The headset needs to be recharged (steps 1-5) when you hear 3 rapid high-pitched tones through the headsets speaker at 30 second intervals, or when you see the indicator flash quickly 3 times every 3 seconds. Once the low battery indicators start, you have approximately 3 to 5 minutes of talk time remaining.

Turning your headset ON and OFF
To turn your FreeSpeak ON: 1 Remove the headset from the charging cradle. 1 To begin charging: 1 Plug the AC power adapter into the charging cradle. 2. Plug the AC power adapters plug into an electrical wall outlet. 3. While charging, the indicator light on the headset is on and remains lit until charging is complete. The FreeSpeak headset indicator light will only turn on if the headset is fully inserted into its charging cradle. If the light on the FreeSpeak still does not turn on, see Troubleshooting. 4. Charge the unit for approximately 2 hours or until the indicator light goes out. 5. You can now remove the headset from the charging cradle. If you remove your headset from the charging cradle (with the AC power adapter plugged in), then your headset will automatically turn on (standby mode). If there is an incoming call and your headset is in the charging cradle (with the AC power adapter plugged in), then you can answer the call on your headset simply by removing your headset from the charging cradle. 2 2. Press and hold the button firmly for at least 3 seconds until the indicator light emits a very short burst of flashes and the speaker emits a quick series of beeps in ascending order. 3. Without delay, release the button. An indicator light on the outside of your FreeSpeak will flash every 3 seconds while the headset is turned on. The headset is now in standby mode and ready for use. If you remove your headset from the charging cradle (with the AC power adapter plugged in), then your headset will automatically turn on (standby mode). To turn your FreeSpeak OFF: 1 Press and hold the. button firmly for at least 3 seconds until the indicator light emits a very short burst of flashes and the speaker emits a quick series of beeps in descending order. 2. Without delay, release the button. The headset is now turned off. There will be no indicator light activity in this mode. You will need to wait 5 seconds before turning it on again. As long as you are recharging your headset regularly, you do not need to turn your headset off after using it you only need to end the call (see Ending a call ).

Page 12

Introduction to Bluetooth pairing
With a Bluetooth phone or other device, you must pair the headset with the device before you use your headset for the first time. Pairing creates a unique wireless link between two Bluetooth devices, eliminating the need to repeat the pairing process during future use. The pairing process may vary depending on the device with which you pair FreeSpeak (see the devices operating guide). The following section describes how to pair your FreeSpeak headset to a typical Bluetooth phone.

8. Your phones display may also ask whether you want to change the headsets name. If so prompted, we recommend that you approve the JABRA BT200 name rather than modify it. 9. If the FreeSpeak indicator light is still steadily lit, pairing was unsuccessful and you will need to turn FreeSpeak off, return to step 1, and try again.
Attaching the charging cradle clip
The charging cradle can be fastened to a belt or purse using the supplied clip. To attach the clip: 1 Locate the two slots on the charging cradle as shown below. 2. Position the clip with one flange in one slot. (Ensure that the hinge of the belt clip is in the same orientation relative to the charging cradle as shown.) 3. Press clip gently onto the charging cradle until the other flange fits into the other slot securely. You should hear a clicking sound when the clip is correctly attached.
Pairing to a Bluetooth phone
To pair your FreeSpeak with a Bluetooth phone: 1 Ensure that the FreeSpeak headset is off (see Turning your headset. ON and OFF ). 2. Press and hold down the button for approximately 7 seconds until the headset indicator light turns on steadily. (There will be some short flashes before it goes on steadily.) 3. While the light is still steadily lit, release the button. The indicator light will remain on, indicating that the FreeSpeak is in pairing mode and waiting to communicate with another Bluetooth pairing device. 4. Follow the operating instructions for your Bluetooth phone to start the pairing process. Typically, this is done by going to a setup or connect menu and then selecting the options to discover Bluetooth devices. It may take several seconds to establish a connection. 5. Your phones display should indicate to you that it found the JABRA BT200 headset and ask if you want to pair it. You should confirm this. 6. The phones display should then prompt you for a passkey or PIN. Enter a sequence of four zeros: 0000. 7. To indicate that pairing has been successful, the headset indicator light will briefly flash rapidly before it goes back to flashing every 3 seconds (standby mode).

Hint: We recommend that you record all such voice tags using FreeSpeak in order to train your phone to recognize voice tags that come through FreeSpeaks microphone instead of the phones microphone. Please consult your phone manufacturers web site for the latest recording methods and known issues.

About the MiniGel

If this is your first JABRA product, you may be new to the MiniGel, which is an evolution of JABRAs EarGel. The soft ergonomic gel tip on the end of the FreeSpeak is partially inserted into your ear canal. It channels sound directly into your ear without occluding it. This improves your ability to hear conversations clearly even when your local environment is noisy. The MiniGel works for either the left or right ear depending on your preference. To care for your MiniGel, remove it from the headset by gently lifting and pulling it off the speaker housing. Then, wash it in warm, soapy water. Never use your FreeSpeak headset without a MiniGel.
Choosing left or right ear wearing style
FreeSpeak can be worn on either ear. The MiniGel is attached in the factory for wearing in the right ear. To reposition it for wearing in the left ear: 1 Carefully remove the MiniGel by gently lifting and pulling it off. the speaker housing. 2. Rotate the MiniGel 180 degrees from its original orientation. 3. Replace the MiniGel onto the speaker housing.
Placing the headset on your ear
Initially, you may find it convenient to use a mirror as you follow the instructions below. After some practice, you should be able to place the headset on your ear with just one hand. 1 Place headset behind your ear. 2. Loop top of headset over front of ear 3. Insert MiniGel into ear canal

Ending a call

Page 16

Answering a Call
Once FreeSpeak is in standby mode, it enables you to receive incoming calls without handling your phone. During an incoming call, a ring tone will sound on your phone, as usual. You will also hear ring tones through the headsets speaker. When you hear the tones, answer your incoming call by pressing the button on your FreeSpeak and speak normally. If there is an incoming call and your headset is in the charging cradle (with the AC power adapter plugged in), then you can answer the call on your headset simply by removing your headset from the charging cradle. You may also answer the call by using your phones keypad. In this case you can transfer the call to the headset by following the instructions in the next section.
Other Useful Things to Know

Controlling headset volume

Frequently asked questions
How far from my phone will my JABRA wireless headset work? Your JABRA headset range is typically up to 30 feet (approximately 10 meters) from the Bluetooth phone. In general, you will get the best performance when there are no obstructions (including parts of your body) between your FreeSpeak headset and Bluetooth phone. As the limits of the range are reached, you will hear a crackling noise along with your conversation. Will anything interfere with my conversation when I use a JABRA wireless headset? Appliances such as cordless phones and wireless networking equipment may cause interference with your conversation, usually adding a crackling noise. In rare cases, interference may prevent the headset from communicating altogether. To reduce any interference, keep FreeSpeak away from other devices that use or produce radio waves. Will my JABRA wireless headset interfere with my cars electronics, radio, or computer? Your JABRA wireless headset produces significantly less power than a typical mobile phone. It also emits signals only in compliance with the international Bluetooth standard (www.bluetooth.com). Subsequently, you should not expect any interference with standard consumer-grade electronics equipment. Can my conversation be heard by other Bluetooth phone users? 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. In addition, Bluetooth wireless signals are significantly lower in power than those produced by a typical mobile phone. Thus, these signals are much harder to detect by third parties. What about radio frequency power? The FreeSpeak headset produces 1%, or less, of a typical mobile phones radio frequency power. Is it OK to wear my FreeSpeak in the rain or shower? FreeSpeak is NOT a waterproof device. Do not wear your headset in the rain or shower. Exposure to water may damage the product.
Single beep when either lower or upper volume limit reached

16 What is that beeping sound in my ear? Beeping sounds may come from a number of sources. They may be part of the mobile service/phone indicating that you have a call-waiting or that your mobile phones battery is low. You will also hear a beeping sound when the JABRA headsets battery is low. This beeping will sound like a short sequence of tones as described in Understanding the FreeSpeak indicators. Nothing is working what should I do? The best place to start is at the Troubleshooting section of this manual. If none of the suggestions work, then please visit our web site at www.jabra.com/fscs for the latest customer support information or contact us through the methods listed. Will FreeSpeak work with laptops, PCs, and PDAs? The FreeSpeak headset will work with all devices that are compliant with Bluetooth version 1.1 and include the headset profile. The first such suppliers included many cellular phone manufacturers and some personal digital assistant (PDA) manufacturers. As Bluetooth becomes widespread, more and more manufacturers will support headset profile implementations of Bluetooth. Can the battery be recycled? Yes, lithium polymer batteries can be recycled. Recycling regulations vary depending on where you live so please dispose of the headset accordingly. Why dont I get as much talk time as I used to? Your battery may have exceeded the manufacturers total number of recharging cycles. Contact JABRA customer support or go to www.jabra.com/fscs for further information. How do I take care of FreeSpeak? The headset is virtually maintenance-free. 1 To clean the headset, use a clean, soft cloth that is slightly damp. 2. Do not expose FreeSpeak to extreme temperatures, such as storing it on a vehicle dashboard.

Troubleshooting

Learning how to use a Bluetooth headset takes more time than a regular headset, but it offers considerable benefits once youve mastered it. Here are some common symptoms and solutions that will help get you going quickly. Symptom Indicator light on headset does not turn on when charging Solution Ensure that the headset is fully inserted into the charging cradle. Ensure that the AC power adapter is plugged firmly into an electrical wall outlet. Ensure that the cable coming from the AC power adapter is firmly plugged all the way into the charging cradle. Headset indicator light does not blink Headset does not pair with Bluetooth phone Phone does not respond quickly when is pressed Ensure that the headset is charged, on, and not in pairing mode. If your phone indicates that pairing was unsuccessful, then ensure that all other nearby Bluetooth devices (except the FreeSpeak headset) are off and reattempt pairing. You may have to wait a little longer than usual when activating calls on your regular mobile phone. If the delay is too long and you miss a call, you can either change the number of rings before your phone goes to voicemail or you can answer calls using your phones keypad first. If you connect to numerous Bluetooth devices and have previously paired them with your phone, you may find that your phone responds faster if you eliminate any unneeded devices from the list of Bluetooth devices registered in your phone.
