Jabra EXTREME2

FAQ

• Audio

  • I can use my Jabra headset for phone calls, but I cannot hear my music through the headset.

    Please verify that your phone supports the A2DP and AVRCP Bluetooth Stereo profiles. Without those profiles in your phone the music will not transmit via the Bluetooth link. Please check with your phone provider to verify your phone's supported profiles.

  • Why is the music that I have on my phone not playing in my headset?

    In order to listen to music using Bluetooth, your phone will need to have the Bluetooth music profile A2DP. To check if your phone is equipped with this profile, please check Jabra's Compatibility Guide or contact your service provider for more information.

  • My Jabra device does not announce the caller's name during incoming calls

    Ensure that your phone supports the Bluetooth phonebook access profile (PBAP) and that the name of the caller is in your phonebook.

    Please note that on some Android phones a warning message about the phonebook access appears in the top left corner. You must select this message and agree to the connection in order to get the caller ID to function properly.

  • I hear crackling noises in my headset.

    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 metres (33 feet) of distance between the headset and the connected device when there are no major objects in the way (walls, etc.).

  • I have problems streaming in stereo from my music device (mobile phone, PC, MP3-player etc.).

  • Why am I receiving static on my Bluetooth headset?

    All wireless devices may be susceptible to interference, which could affect performance. Please try the following steps:

    1. Keep the headset on the same side of your body as the phone.
    2. Make sure there is a direct line of contact between the headset and your phone. The Bluetooth signal may have difficulty transmitting through walls, buildings or people. Static or interference is sometimes environmental. Interference can be caused by e.g. computers, cordless phones, microwaves etc.  

• Compatibility

    Jabra headsets and speakerphones follow the Bluetooth standard. Bluetooth devices that follow the standard are compatible. Refer to your mobile phone’s specifications to see, if it meets the Bluetooth standard. Products using different revisions of the Bluetooth standard also work together.
