accident. If driving conditions demand it (such as bad weather, high traffic density,

presence of children in the car, difficult road conditions), pull off the road and park

before making or answering calls. Also, try to keep conversations short and do not make

notes or read documents.

Always drive safely and follow local laws.

1 Bluetooth is a radio technology that connects devices, such as mobile phones and

headsets, without wires or cords over a short distance (approx. 30 feet). Get more

information at www.bluetooth.com.

2 Bluetooth profiles are the different ways that Bluetooth devices communicate with

other devices. Bluetooth phones support either 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 mobile phone to pair it with your

Jabra BT500v. This makes your phone and the Jabra BT500v recognize each other

and automatically work together.

5 Standby mode is when the Jabra BT500v is passively waiting for a call. When you

‘end’ a call on your mobile phone, the headset goes into standby mode.10
