Thank you.2

Thank you
Thank you for purchasing a Jabra SP500 the most versatile Bluetooth speakerphone on the market. Jabra has become the market leader in hands-free communication products through the innovation and performance of our products. The Jabra SP500 is designed to perform superbly in any location in the car, the home or the office.
BEFORE USING YOUR SPEAKERPHONE
The Jabra SP500 is compatible with most Bluetooth (see Glossary) mobile phones. You can Glossary check whether your phone has Bluetooth capability by visiting your phone manufacturers web site or Jabras web site (http://www.Jabra.com/JabraCMS/NA/EN/MainMenu/Products/ ProductFinder.htm) which has complete information on compatibility.

Drive safely

Several studies have shown that cell phone usage while driving creates a distraction to the driver which may increase the likelihood of an accident. This distraction potential is not eliminated by the use of a hands-free phone. Hands-free phones have not been shown to be safer than hand-held phones with respect to driver distraction. When using the phone while driving, keep conversations short and resist any temptation to 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 manoeuvres.)

Charge the batteries

Remember, driving comes first, not the call!
Abide by local laws. Please check if the local laws where you live restrict the use of mobile phones while driving. It is the owners responsibility to use this product in compliance with the laws of the place where you live.

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 10 metres (approx 30 feet). More information is available at www.bluetooth.com 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. Passkey or PIN is a secret code that needs to be entered on the phone in order to pair the mobile phone with the Jabra SP500. When you have already paired your mobile phone with the speakerphone, the phone and the Jabra SP500 will recognize each other and the phone will bypass the discovery and authentication process and automatically accept the transmission. 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. Active mode is when the speakerphone has an active call in progress. Jabra SP500 will go from standby mode into active mode when you receive a call or when you make a call. When the speakerphone is in active mode, the blue light will flash every second. Standby mode is when the Jabra SP500 is passively waiting for a call. When you end the call on your mobile phone, the speakerphone will go into standby mode. When Jabra SP500 is in standby mode, the blue light will flash every three seconds for one minute.
