The Jabra BT530 is easy to operate. The answer/end button on the headset performs different functions depending on how long you press it.

Instruction Duration of press
Tap Press briefly
Double Tap 2 quickly repeated taps
Press Approx: 1 second
Press and hold Approx: 5 seconds

CHARGE YOUR HEADSET

Make sure that your headset is fully charged before you start using it (duration app. 2 hours). Use the AC power supply to charge from a power socket. When the light indicator (LED) has a solid LED light, your headset is charging. When the LED light is solid green your headset is fully charged.

Use only the charger provided in the box - do not use chargers from any other devices as this may damage your headset.

What you see Charge Level
Solid Red Less than 70% charged
Solid Yellow Between 70% and fully charged
Solid Green Fully charged

Please note: The lifetime of the battery will be significantly reduced if your device is left uncharged for a long period. We therefore recommend that you recharge your device at least once a month.

TURNING YOUR HEADSET ON AND OFF

• Slide the on/off button forward on the side of the headset to turn on the headset. The LED will flash green for a second when the headset is on.
• Slide the on/off button backward to turn off the headset.

PAIRING IT WITH YOUR PHONE

Headsets are connected to phones using a procedure called 'pairing'. By following a few simple steps, a phone can be paired with a headset in a matter of minutes.

1. Put the headset in pairing mode

- When you turn on your Jabra BT530 for the first time, the headset will automatically start up in pairing mode – i.e. it is discoverable for your phone. When the headset is in pairing mode the LED is constantly lit.

2. Set your Bluetooth phone to 'discover' the Jabra BT530

- Follow your phone's instruction guide. First make sure that Bluetooth is activated on your mobile phone. Then set your phone to discover the headset. This usually involves going to a 'setup,' 'connect' or 'Bluetooth' menu on your phone and selecting the option to 'discover' or 'add' a Bluetooth device.*

3. Your phone will find the Jabra BT530

- Your phone will find the headset under name "Jabra BT530". Your phone then asks if you want to pair with the headset. Accept by pressing 'Yes' or 'OK' on the phone and confirm with the passkey or PIN = 0000 (4 zeros). Your phone will confirm when pairing is complete.

In case of unsuccessful pairing, put the Jabra BT530 into pairing mode manually. Make sure the headset is on. Press and hold the answer/end button for approximately 5 seconds until the LED has a constant light. Keep holding down the button until light is constant.

WEARING STYLE

The Jabra BT530 is ready to be worn, but can be used with or without the ear hook. The ear hook can be removed and the headset can be used with the Ultimate Comfort Ear gels.

The Ultimate Comfort Ear gels can be used for both left and right wearing. The BT530 comes fitted with a medium sized ear gel, but it can be replaced by a small or large one. You can also twist the ear gel slightly to optimize the fit and comfort. For optimal performance, wear the Jabra BT530 and your mobile phone on the same side of your body or within line of sight. In general, you will get better performance when there are no obstructions between your headset and your mobile phone.

LISTENING TO MUSIC USING THE JABRA BT530

Jabra BT530 is capable of streaming music over Bluetooth - either from a mobile phone or any other Bluetooth device supporting A2DP. Once you have paired your BT530 with your mobile phone or to the Bluetooth music player, use your phone or music player to play, pause, stop, skip forward and backward. When you receive a call, the music will automatically be suspended and you will be able to answer or reject a call through the headset. Once you end a call, the music should recommence. On some phones and music devices you may have to press 'play' to start the music again.

USING BT530 WITH TWO MOBILE PHONES

Jabra BT530 is capable of having two mobile phones (or Bluetooth devices) connected to the headset at the same time. This will give you the freedom of having only one headset to operate both your mobile phones. Please note that Last Number Redial will dial the number from the last outgoing call, independent of the mobile phone, and the Voice Dialing function will only work on the last paired mobile phone.

USING A JABRA BLUETOOTH HUB

The Jabra BT530 can be used along with the Jabra Bluetooth Hub (sold separately). This will enable you to use the headset with both your mobile phone and your office phone.

To pair the Jabra BT530 with the Jabra Bluetooth Hub

The pairing process is a little different:

1. Put your Jabra BT530 in pairing mode
2. Put the Jabra Bluetooth Hub in pairing mode.
3. Place them close together. You do not need a dedicated pin code to pair the two Jabra products.

Consult the Jabra Bluetooth Hub user manual for more information on how to connect the Bluetooth hub to your office phone.

The use of the Jabra BT530 with the Jabra Bluetooth Hub is very similar to using the headset with a mobile phone only. The only difference lies in the transfer of a call to the headset from the office phone.

Transfer the call to the headset

- Tap the answer/end button to transfer the call from the office phone to the headset via the Jabra Bluetooth Hub.

The answering of a call from the office phone requires a hook lifter in order to have the Jabra BT530 answer the call automatically.

TROUBLESHOOTING & FAQ

I hear crackling noises

GLOSSARY

1. Bluetooth is a radio technology that connects devices, such as mobile phones and headsets, without wires or cords over a short distance (approx. 10 meters/33 feet). Bluetooth is safe to use. It is secure too, so once a connection has been made no-one can listen in and there is no interference from other Bluetooth devices either. Get more information at www.bluetooth.com.

2. Bluetooth profiles are the different ways that Bluetooth devices communicate with other devices. Bluetooth phones support the headset profile, the hands-free profile or both. In order to support a certain profile, a phone manufacturer must implement certain mandatory features within the phone's software.

3. Pairing creates a unique and encrypted link between two Bluetooth devices and lets them communicate with each other. Bluetooth devices will not work if the devices have not been paired.

4. Passkey or PIN is a code that you enter on your Bluetooth enabled device (e.g. a mobile phone) to pair it with your Jabra BT530. This makes your device and the Jabra BT530 recognize each other and automatically work together.

5. Standby mode is when the Jabra BT530 is passively waiting for a call. When you 'end' a call on your mobile phone, the headset goes into standby mode.

Dispose of the product according to local standards and regulations.
