lisTening To music using Jabra bT8040
Jabra BT8040 is capable of streaming music over Bluetooth -
either from a mobile phone or any other Bluetooth device
supporting A2DP. Once you have paired your BT8040 with your
mobile phone or to the Bluetooth music player, use your phone
or music player to play, pause, stop, skip forward and backward.
When you recieve a call, the music will be automatically sus-
pended and you will be able to answer or reject a call through the
headset. Once you end a call, the music should recommence. On
some phones and music devices you may have to press ‘play’to
start the music again.
using Jabra bT8040 WiTh 2 mobile phones
Jabra BT8040 is capable of having two mobile phones (or Blue-
tooth devices) connected to the headset at the same time. This
will give you the freedom of having only one headset to operate
both your mobile phones. Please note that Last Number Redial
will dial the number from the last outgoing call, independent of
the mobile phones, and the Voice Dialing function only will work
on the last paired mobile phone.
using a Jabra blueTooTh hub
The Jabra BT8040 can used along with the Jabra Bluetooth Hub
(sold separately). This will enable you to use the headset with both
your mobile phone and your oce phone.
To pair the Jabra BT8040 with the Jabra Bluetooth Hub
The pairing process is a little dierent:
1. Put your Jabra BT8040 in pairing mode
2. Put the Jabra Bluetooth Hub in pairing mode.
3. Place them close together. You do not need a dedicated
pin code to pair the two Jabra products. Consult the Jabra
Bluetooth Hub user manual for more information on how to
connect the Bluetooth hub to your oce phone.
The use of the Jabra BT8040 with the Jabra Bluetooth Hub is very
similar to using the headset with a mobile phone only. The only
dierence lies in the transfer of a call to the headset from the
oce phone.

english
JABRA BT8040 BLUETOOTH STEREO HEADSET
Transfer the call to the headset
• Tap the answer/end button to transfer the call from the oce
phone to the headset via the Jabra Bluetooth Hub
The answering of a call from the oce phone requires a hook lifter
in order to have the Jabra BT8040 answer the call automatically.
TroubleshooTing & FaQ
I hear crackling noises
• Bluetooth is a radio technology, which means it is sensitive to
objects between the headset and the connected device. It is
designed for the headset and the connected device to be used
within 33 feet (10 meters) of each other, with no major objects
in the way (walls, etc.).
I cannot hear anything in my headset
• Increase the volume in the headset
• Ensure that the headset is paired to a device that is playing
• Make sure your phone is connected to the headset by tapping
the Answer/End button.
I am having pairing problems
• You may have deleted your headset pairing connection in your
mobile phone.
Follow the pairing instructions.
I want to reset the headset
It is possible to reset and test the headset by ’Press and hold’ all
three buttoms at the same time. The red, blue and green light will
light up in a white light. In this mode, the pairing list is reset, and
you can test if the headset works as you will be able to hear audio
in the speaker from the microphone.
The headset will automatically turn o after approx. 10 seconds.
The next time you power on, the headset will go into pairing
mode as the rst time you powered your new BT8040 on.
Will the Jabra BT8040 work with other Bluetooth equipment?
• The Jabra BT8040 is designed to work with Bluetooth mobile
phones. It can also work with other Bluetooth devices that are
compliant with Bluetooth version 1.1 or higher and support a
headset, hands-free and/or advance audio distribution prole.

11
english
JABRA BT8040 BLUETOOTH STEREO HEADSET
I cannot use Reject call, call on hold, Redial or voice dialling
These features are dependent on the ability of your phone to
support a hands-free prole. Even if the handsfree prole is imple-
mented reject call, call hold and voice dialing are optional features
which are not supported by all devices. Please consult your device
manual for details.
Please note that some features can only be operated from the
primary device e.g. voice dial using Jabra BT8040 with 2 mobile
phones.
The device is not connected to my headset in time to answer
an incoming call
If the headset is o and is turned on when a call is incoming, the
device and headset might not connect in time for the call to be
answered. In order to avoid such inconveniences please keep the
headset on, in range and connected.
The music player starts playing when connecting to the
headset
Some phones may stat the music player once it connects to the
headset. Re-pair your headset to the device in order to avoid this
behaviour.
1. Make sure the headset is o
2. Press and hold the answer / end button for approx 5 sec until
the light turns solid blue
3. Continue press and hold the answer / end button until the solid
blue light turns o
4. Continue press and hold until a solid purple light turns on
Go through the regular steps in paring the headset to a Bluetooth
device.
The music stream from my connected device is choppy or the
music pitch is changing
If you have connected two devices and go out of range of one de-
vice while playing music from the connected device, the headset
will try to reconnect to the lost device. This can cause the audio
stream to be disrupted. For example the music audio is choppy
or the audio pitch varies. In order to prevent this do not go out of
range of your paired/connected devices.

watercraft or bicycle may be dangerous, and is illegal in some
jurisdictions. Check your local laws. Use caution while using your
headset when you are engaging in any activity that requires your

they contain may cause choking if ingested. Never try to disman-
tle the product yourself. None of the internal components can be

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. 10 meters/33 feet). Bluetooth is safe
to use. It is secure too, so once a connection has been made
no-one can listen in and there is no interference from other
Bluetooth devices either. Get more information at www.blue-
tooth.com.
2. Bluetooth proles are the dierent ways that Bluetooth
devices communicate with other devices. Bluetooth phones
support the headset prole, the hands-free prole or both. In
order to support a certain prole, 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 Bluetooth
enabled device (e.g. a mobile phone) to pair it with your Jabra
BT8040. This makes your device and the Jabra BT8040 recog-
nize each other and automatically work together.
5. Standby mode is when the Jabra BT8040 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.
