4. The Jabra Device Service
Running and Using the Device Service
Purpose of the Device Service
The Jabra Device Service is a simple program that runs in the background,
monitors your USB ports for Jabra devices and provides a link between your
Jabra device and various types of PC applications. It enables the Jabra Control
Center and Jabra softphone interfaces to interact with Jabra headsets.
Running the Device Service
When you install the Jabra PC Suite, you are presented with the option of running
the Device Service and/or Skype Interface automatically each time you start
Windows. If you selected one or both of these options, then the installer created
shortcuts to these programs in your Windows Startup folder. In this case, you will
never need to think about starting the Device Service—it will always be
available. However, if you only occasionally use your headset with your
computer, then you might choose to keep the Device Service turned off by default
and start it manually only when you need it.
• To run the Device Service Manually, click on the Windows
select
All Programs > Jabra > Jabra PC Suite > Jabra Device Service
• To run the Device Service automatically on startup, or to stop doing so, add or
remove a shortcut for it in your Windows
folder is to right-click on the
context menu. This opens a standard Windows Explorer window. Navigate
from there down to
something like:
Menu\Programs\Startup
also a Windows reference for more information about how to work with
shortcuts and the Startup folder.
• To quit the Device Service, use the context menu of the Jabra icon in the
Windows Notification Area or the menu command of the Device Service
settings window (see below).
The Jabra Icon in the Notification Area
While the Device Service is running, you will be able to see a Jabra icon in the
Windows Notification Area (close to the clock in the bottom-right corner of your
screen); right click here to set preferences and access links to other Jabra
programs.
