Troubleshooting
Learning how to use a Bluetooth headset takes more time than a
regular headset, but it offers considerable benefits once you’ve
mastered it. Here are some common symptoms and solutions that
will help get you going quickly.
Symptom
Solution
• Ensure that the headset is fully inserted into
the charging cradle.
• Ensure that the AC power adapter is plugged
firmly into an electrical wall outlet.
• Ensure that the cable coming from the AC
power adapter is firmly plugged all the way
into the charging cradle.
• Ensure that the headset is charged, on, and
not in pairing mode.
• If your phone indicates that pairing was
unsuccessful, then ensure that all other
nearby Bluetooth devices (except the
FreeSpeak headset) are off and reattempt
‘pairing.’
• You may have to wait a little longer than
usual when activating calls on your regular
mobile phone. If the delay is too long and
you miss a call, you can either change the
number of rings before your phone goes to
voicemail or you can answer calls using your
phone’s keypad first.
• If you connect to numerous Bluetooth
devices and have previously ‘paired’ them
with your phone, you may find that your
phone responds faster if you eliminate
any unneeded devices from the list of
Bluetooth devices registered in your phone.

You will also hear a beeping sound when the JABRA headset’s battery
is low. This beeping will sound like a short sequence of tones as
described in

Nothing is working – what should I do?
The best place to start is at the
Troubleshooting
section of this
manual. If none of the suggestions work, then please visit our web site
at www.jabra.com/fscs for the latest customer support information or
contact us through the methods listed.
Will FreeSpeak work with laptops, PCs, and PDAs?
The FreeSpeak headset will work with all devices that are compliant
with Bluetooth version 1.1 and include the ‘headset’ profile. The first
such suppliers included many cellular phone manufacturers and some
personal digital assistant (PDA) manufacturers. As Bluetooth becomes
widespread, more and more manufacturers will support ‘headset’
profile implementations of Bluetooth.
Can the battery be recycled?
Yes, lithium polymer batteries can be recycled. Recycling regulations
vary depending on where you live so please dispose of the headset
accordingly.
Why don’t I get as much talk time as I used to?
Your battery may have exceeded the manufacturer’s total number
of recharging cycles. Contact JABRA customer support or go to
www.jabra.com/fscs for further information.
What material is the headset made of?
The MiniGel is made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride), a form of plastic. The
headset itself is primarily made of thermoplastic polyurethane, which is
a soft plastic. The face of the headset, where the buttons are located, is
made of polycarbonate, a very strong, hard plastic. Neither the MiniGel
nor the headset contain latex.
How do I take care of FreeSpeak?
The headset is virtually maintenance-free.
1.
To clean the headset, use a clean, soft cloth that is slightly damp.
2.
Do not expose FreeSpeak to extreme temperatures, such as
storing it on a vehicle dashboard.
