Frequently asked questions

How far from my phone will my JABRA wireless headset work?

Your JABRA headset range is typically up to 30 feet (approximately 
10 meters) from the Bluetooth phone. In general, you will get the best
performance when there are no obstructions (including parts of your
body) between your FreeSpeak headset and Bluetooth phone. As the
limits of the range are reached, you will hear a crackling noise along
with your conversation.

Will anything interfere with my conversation when I use a JABRA
wireless headset?

Appliances such as cordless phones and wireless networking equipment
may cause interference with your conversation, usually adding a 
crackling noise. In rare cases, interference may prevent the headset
from communicating altogether. To reduce any interference, keep
FreeSpeak away from other devices that use or produce radio waves.

Will my JABRA wireless headset interfere with my car’s electronics,
radio, or computer? 

Your JABRA wireless headset produces significantly less power than a
typical mobile phone. It also emits signals only in compliance with the
international Bluetooth standard (www.bluetooth.com). Subsequently,
you should not expect any interference with standard consumer-grade
electronics equipment. 

Can my conversation be heard by other Bluetooth phone users?

When you pair your headset to your Bluetooth phone, you are creating
a private link between only these two Bluetooth devices. The wireless
Bluetooth technology used in your headset is not easily monitored by
third parties. In addition, Bluetooth wireless signals are significantly
lower in power than those produced by a typical mobile phone. Thus,
these signals are much harder to detect by third parties.

What about radio frequency power?

The FreeSpeak headset produces 1%, or less, of a typical mobile
phone’s radio frequency power.

Is it OK to wear my FreeSpeak in the rain or shower?

FreeSpeak is NOT a waterproof device. Do not wear your headset in 
the rain or shower. Exposure to water may damage the product.
