Remember, the exact steps may vary slightly depending on the model of your Jabra Bluetooth device and the device you’re attempting to pair it with, but the general principles remain the same.

Step 1: Turn on your Jabra Bluetooth

The first step in pairing your Jabra Bluetooth device is to ensure that it is turned on and ready to connect. Locate the power button on your Jabra Bluetooth headset or speaker. It is usually located on the side or the top of the device.

Press and hold the power button until you see the LED indicator light up, indicating that the device is powered on. The LED light may be solid or blinking, depending on the model of your Jabra Bluetooth device.

If your Jabra Bluetooth device has a separate power switch and a pairing button, make sure to turn on the device first before proceeding to the next steps.

It’s important to note that some Jabra Bluetooth devices, especially older models, may have a separate switch for turning on the Bluetooth feature. In such cases, ensure that both the Jabra device and the Bluetooth feature are turned on.

Once your Jabra Bluetooth device is powered on, it is ready to be paired with your device. Now, let’s move on to the next step to enable Bluetooth on your device.

Step 2: Enable Bluetooth on your device

In order to pair your Jabra Bluetooth device with your device, you need to ensure that the Bluetooth feature is enabled on your device. Bluetooth settings can typically be accessed through the device’s settings menu. Here’s how to enable Bluetooth on some commonly used devices:

• Smartphones and tablets: Open the settings app and look for the “Bluetooth” option. Tap on it to access the Bluetooth settings. Toggle the switch to turn Bluetooth on.
• Computers (Windows): Click on the Start menu and open the Settings app. Look for the “Devices” option and click on it. In the Devices settings, you should see a toggle switch to enable Bluetooth.
• Computers (Mac): Click on the Apple menu and open the System Preferences. Look for the “Bluetooth” icon and click on it. In the Bluetooth settings, you can toggle the switch to turn Bluetooth on.

By enabling Bluetooth on your device, you are allowing it to search for and connect to nearby Bluetooth devices, including your Jabra Bluetooth device.

Once Bluetooth is enabled on your device, it’s time to put your Jabra Bluetooth device into pairing mode. This will allow it to be discovered by your device and establish a connection. Let’s move on to the next step to learn how to put your Jabra Bluetooth device into pairing mode.

Step 3: Put your Jabra Bluetooth into pairing mode

In order for your Jabra Bluetooth device to be discovered and connected to your device, it needs to be in pairing mode.

Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for the exact method. Once in pairing mode, the LED indicator on your Jabra Bluetooth headset will typically start flashing to indicate that it is ready to be paired.
• Jabra Bluetooth speaker: Similar to the headset, you might need to press a dedicated pairing button or a combination of buttons to enable pairing mode. Consult the user manual or manufacturer’s instructions for your specific model. When the speaker is in pairing mode, it typically emits a sound or the LED indicator flashes in a certain pattern.

It’s essential to note that the duration for which you need to hold the buttons to activate pairing mode can vary between devices. In most cases, you will need to hold the button(s) for a few seconds until the device enters pairing mode.
