TROUBLESHOOTING & FAQ

I hear crackling noises

• Bluetooth is a radio technology which means it is sensitive to objects between the headset and the device it is connected to. you should be able to have up to 10 meters (33 feet) of distance between the headset and the connected device when there are no major objects in the way (walls, etc.).

I cannot hear the phone call in the headset

• Increase the volume on the Jabra HALO2.
• Make sure your phone is connected to the headset by i.e. tapping the answer/end button, or viewing the bluetooth icon in the display.

I have pairing problems

• You may have deleted the pairing connection in your mobile phone – follow the pairing instructions in 'Pair your Headset to a Phone or other device '.

I cannot use Reject call or Redial

• These features are dependent on your phone supporting them; please consult your phone's manual for details.

I cannot hear music in the headset

• Ensure that the headset is connected to your bluetooth enabled device.
• You may have been out-of-range (10 meters) to your bluetooth enabled device or the headset might have experienced an esd (electrostatic discharge) incidence. Press the multi function button to re-establish the bluetooth audio link.
• Increase the volume on your device.
• Make sure that the Jabra HALO2 is charged.

The music I hear sounds very poor

Make sure the other device supports bluetooth 1.1 or higher including the advanced audio distribution Profile (a2dP) for music streaming.

If the above procedure did not help then it is possible that your phone is using the stereo audio connection in a different way. you can enable this mode on Jabra HALO2 by performing pairing in the following way:

• Remove the bluetooth connection to Jabra HALO2 on your phone
• Make sure the headset is on (un-folded)
• Press and hold the answer / end button for more than 5 seconds until the both display icons are solid blue and solid Orange
• Go through the regular steps in pairing the headset to a bluetooth device.

Be aware that standby time of the Jabra HALO2 can be lower when using this pairing.

TAKING CARE OF YOUR HEADSET

• Always store the Jabra HALO2 with the power off and safely protected
• Avoid storage at extreme temperatures (above 45°C/113°f – including direct sunlight – or below -10°C/14°f). This can shorten battery life and may affect operation. High temperatures may also degrade performance.
• Do not expose the Jabra HALO2 to rain or other liquids.

GLOSSARY

1. Bluetooth is a radio technology that connects devices, such as mobile phones and headsets, without wires or cords over a short distance approx. 33 feet (10 meters). 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 HALO2. This makes your phone and the Jabra HALO2 recognize each other and automatically work together.
5. Standby mode is when the Jabra HALO2 is passively waiting for a call. When you 'end' a call on your mobile phone, the headset goes into standby mode.

Dispose of the product according to local standards and regulations.
