When you use the dongle for the first time, it automatically goes into pairing mode, indicated by the solid blue LED indicator.

Putting the headset in pairing mode

If you use a Jabra headset, you usually put it in pairing mode by:

• pressing and holding the on/off/pairing button until the LED indicator is solid blue.

If you use another headset, follow the instructions in the user manual of that particular headset.

Pairing the dongle and headset

Place the headset close to the dongle and wait a few seconds. When the pairing is completed, the LED indicator on the dongle turns solid green. The dongle and the headset are now connected and ready for use.

If the dongle goes out of pairing mode – indicated by a flashing green LED indicator – press and hold the Multifunction button until a blue solid light

indicates that the device is in pairing mode again.
