    Goal: Pair in under 60 seconds using the universal Jabra method.
    1. Turn Bluetooth ON on your phone/tablet/computer.
    2. Remove both earbuds from the case (they power on).
    3. Press and hold Left + Right for 3 seconds until LEDs flash blue.
    4. Select your Jabra earbuds in the Bluetooth list. If asked for a PIN, enter 0000.

    iPhone quick path: Settings → Bluetooth → On, then trigger pairing mode (3 seconds to blue flashing).
    If you see multiple “Jabra” entries, remove/forget duplicates and reconnect to the one that behaves like a headphone device.

    Android tip: Manual pairing always works even if Fast Pair doesn’t pop up.
    1. Bluetooth ON.
    2. Earbuds out of case.
    3. Hold both buttons 3 seconds to blue flashing LEDs.
    4. Select the Jabra device name.

    From Jabra: Android can use Google Fast Pair, but pairing mode steps are still the baseline method. Source

    Windows pairing checklist:
    1. Windows Settings → Bluetooth & devices → Bluetooth ON.
    2. Add device → Bluetooth.
    3. Put earbuds in pairing mode (3 seconds until LEDs flash blue).
    4. Select the Jabra earbuds entry.

    If it connects but you can’t hear audio, confirm the Windows audio output device is set to the earbuds.

    Evidence Metric: Pairing Mode Trigger

    Hold both earbud buttons for a measurable duration to force discoverable mode.

    Hold time: ~3 seconds → LEDs flash blue

    Evidence Metric: PIN Code

    If a device requests a pairing PIN, use the common default shown in Jabra’s guidance.

    PIN (when prompted): 0000

    Evidence Metric: One-Earbud Use

    Common misconception: you still pair both earbuds first, then you can dock one.

    Rule: Pair both first → then use one earbud

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Remove both earbuds from the case, then press and hold the Left + Right buttons for about 3 seconds until the LEDs flash blue. That blue flashing state means the earbuds are discoverable. Then open Bluetooth on your device and select the Jabra entry. For the manufacturer’s exact language, follow Jabra’s official instructions.
    First, verify the earbuds are truly in pairing mode (LEDs must flash blue). If they are not flashing blue, repeat the pairing hold for about 3 seconds. Next, toggle Bluetooth off/on and rescan. If your phone shows multiple Jabra entries, remove them and retry. For general Bluetooth fixes, see TechOzea’s Bluetooth not working guides, and cross-check the baseline method on Jabra Support.
    Use 0000 (four zeros) if your device prompts for a Bluetooth PIN during pairing. This default code is explicitly referenced in Jabra’s pairing guidance for some earbuds. After a successful first pairing, you typically do not need the PIN again unless you reset the earbuds or pair to a new device. See the pairing details on Jabra’s official FAQ.
    Usually, no for the first setup: you should pair with both earbuds present. Jabra notes that if you want to use just one earbud, you still pair both earbuds with your phone first, and only after pairing can you put one earbud back into the case. This avoids incomplete pairing and missing audio profiles. Confirm the one-earbud note in Jabra’s instructions.
    Turn Bluetooth on in Windows (Settings → Bluetooth & devices), then click Add device → Bluetooth. Put your earbuds in pairing mode by holding both buttons for about 3 seconds until LEDs flash blue, then select the Jabra device. If the earbuds connect but you have no sound, set the earbuds as the output device in Windows sound settings. For Windows-side help, TechOzea’s Windows Bluetooth articles are a good next step.
    Yes. Jabra states that in daily use, when you turn on the earbuds, they automatically reconnect with the last previously paired device if it is turned on and within range. If your earbuds keep reconnecting to the “wrong” device, disable Bluetooth on that device or remove the pairing record there. Reference: Jabra pairing FAQ.
    First, verify your device is actually sending audio to the earbuds (on computers, you may need to choose the earbuds as the output device). Next, remove duplicate Bluetooth entries and reconnect to the one that behaves like a headphone. Then place the earbuds back in the case for 10 seconds and retry to refresh the connection state.
