  • I have trouble with the stereo (A2DP) functionality on my speakerphone.

    These functions are dependent on your phone supporting them. You may also simply need to reset the communication between your cell phone and the speakerphone. 

    Please try the following steps:

    1. Turn your cell phone off and remove its battery for 10 to 15 seconds.  Once you replace the battery and turn the cell phone back on, it should work again.
    2. To reset the Jabra speakerphone, simply insert a small object into the hole found on the back of the unit and hold it there for a few seconds.  When you turn the speakerphone back on, you will need to follow the pairing procedure again as pairing data is deleted during a reset.
