Frequently asked questions
14

5. Will my JABRA FS258 interfere with my car’s electronics, radio, or
computer?
JABRA FS258 produces significantly less power than a typical mobile
phone. It also only emits signals that are in compliance with the
international Bluetooth standard. Therefore, you should not expect any
interference with standard consumer-grade electronics equipment.
6. Can other Bluetooth phone users hear my conversation?
When you pair your headset to your Bluetooth phone, you are creating a
private link between only these two Bluetooth devices. The wireless
Bluetooth technology used in your headset is not easily monitored by third
parties because Bluetooth wireless signals are significantly lower in radio
frequency power than those produced by a typical mobile phone.
7. What material is the headset made of?
The MiniGel is made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride), a form of plastic.The
headset itself is primarily made of thermoplastic polyurethane, which is a
soft plastic. The face of the headset, where the buttons are located, is made
of polycarbonate, a very strong, hard plastic. Neither the MiniGel nor the
headset contains latex.
8. How do I take care of JABRA FS258?
•To clean the headset, use a clean, soft cloth that is slightly damp.
•To clean the MiniGel, remove it from the headset by gently lifting and
pulling it off the speaker housing.Then, wash it in warm, soapy water.

1Bluetooth is a radio technology developed to connect devices, such as mobile
phones and headsets, without wires or cords over a short distance of
approximately 10 metres. More information is available at www.bluetooth.com
2Bluetooth profiles are protocols through which Bluetooth devices
communicate with other devices. Bluetooth phones support different sets
of profiles – most support the headset profile but some support the hands-
free profile and others support both profiles. In order to support a certain
profile, a phone manufacturer has to implement certain mandatory features
within the phone’s software.
3Pairing creates a unique and encrypted communication link between two
Bluetooth-enabled devices and allows them to communicate with each
other. Bluetooth devices will not work if the devices have not been paired
with each other.
4Passkey or PIN is a secret code that needs to be entered on the phone in
order to pair the mobile phone with FS258. When you have already paired
your mobile phone with FS258, the phone and headset will recognize each
other and the phone will bypass the discovery and authentication process
and automatically accept the transmission.
5Active mode is when the headset has an active call in progress. FS258 will
go from standby mode into active mode when you receive a call or when
you make a call. When FS258 is in active mode, the blue light will flash every
second.
6Standby mode is when the headset is passively waiting for a call. When
you “end” the call on your mobile phone, FS258 will go into standby mode.
When FS258 is in standby mode, the blue light will flash every three
seconds.
