devICes
The Jabra HALO2 is capable of having two mobile phones (or
Bluetooth devices) connected to the headset at the same time.
This will give you the freedom of having only one headset to
operate both of your mobile phones. Please note that Last
Number Redial will dial the number from the last outgoing call,
independent of the mobile phone.
If the headset is connected to two phones please note that
Play/Pause and Next/Previous track will be sent to the phone that
was the last connected phone (Last connected AVRC prole).

I hear crackling noises
- 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 meters (33 feet) of
distance between the headset and the connected device when
there are no major objects in the way (walls, etc.).
I cannot hear the phone call in the headset
- Increase the volume on the Jabra HALO2.
- Make sure your phone is connected to the headset by i.e.
tapping the Answer/End button, or viewing the Bluetooth icon
in the Display.
I have pairing problems

I cannot hear music in the headset
- Ensure that the headset is connected to your Bluetooth
enabled device.
- You may have been out-of-range (10 meters) to your Bluetooth
enabled device or the headset might have experienced an ESD
(Electrostatic discharge) incidence. Press the Multi Function
Button to re-establish the Bluetooth audio link.
- Increase the volume on your device.
- Make sure that the Jabra HALO2 is charged.
The music I hear sounds very poor
Make sure the other device supports Bluetooth 1.1 or higher
including the Advanced Audio Distribution Prole (A2DP) for
music streaming.
If the above procedure did not help then it is possible that your
phone is using the stereo audio connection in a dierent way. You
can enable this mode on Jabra HALO2 by performing pairing in
the following way:
- Remove the Bluetooth connection to Jabra HALO2 on your
phone
- Make sure the headset is on (un-folded)
- Press and hold the answer / end button for more than 5 seconds
until the both Display icons are solid Blue and solid Orange
- Go through the regular steps in pairing the headset to a
Bluetooth device.
Be aware that standby time of the Jabra HALO2 can be lower
when using this pairing.
takInG Care of your headset
- Always store the Jabra HALO2 with the power o and safely
protected
- Avoid storage at extreme temperatures (above 45°C/113°F –
including direct sunlight – or below -10°C/14°F). This can shorten
battery life and may aect operation. High temperatures may
also degrade performance.
- Do not expose the Jabra HALO2 to rain or other liquids.

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. 33 feet (10 meters). Get more
information at www.bluetooth.com
2. Bluetooth proles are the dierent ways that Bluetooth
devices communicate with other devices. Bluetooth phones
support either 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 mobile phone
to pair it with your Jabra HALO2. This makes your phone and
the Jabra HALO2 recognize each other and automatically work
together.
5. Standby mode is when the Jabra HALO2 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.
