How to Reset a Jabra for Another Phone
A Jabra Bluetooth headset turns your mobile phone into a hands-free device. This is convenient and, while driving, required by law in some states. Once you've used the Jabra headset with one phone or device, it has to be reset before it can be paired with a different phone. This is a fast and easy solution to switching the headset between devices without having to buy an additional headset.

Tips & Warnings
Always turn off the Jabra Bluetooth headset when not in use. The headset has its own power cord, but leaving it on all the time drains the power quickly.
You can answer your mobile phone right from the headset by pressing the button on the side when your phone rings.
To change the volume of the headset, use the control buttons on the side of the headset to increase or decrease the sound.
Using your mobile phone without a hands-free device while driving is dangerous and can lead to accidents. It is also illegal to do so in eight states and texting while driving is banned in 30 states, as of September 2010.
