The USB controller includes two soft buttons, labeled × and O, respectively. You are able to program the headset
to use these two buttons for any of several functions. For example, you can congure one of the soft buttons to
control the Bluetooth connection to a mobile phone
See the section about using Jabra PC Suite, below, for details.
how To InSTall anD uSE ThE Jabra Pc SuITE
The Jabra PC Suite is a collection of programs that support and expand your headset’s features. It is available as a
free download from www.jabra.com.
Jabra PC Suite enables you to:
- Control several types of softphone programs from your headset via dedicated softphone drivers.
- Assign function to the programmable × and O buttons of the USB controller.
- Set the hearing-protection level for the headset.
- Update the rmware for headset,
InSTallIng ThE Jabra Pc SuITE
To install the Jabra PC Suite, do the following:
1. If you have not already installed your softphone, then we highly recommend that you do so before you install
Jabra PC Suite. This will ensure that Jabra support is correctly added to your softphone program. If you add
a new softphone program to your computer after installing Jabra PC Suite, then we recommend that you
reinstall Jabra, which is quite easy.
2. Download the Jabra PC Suite installer from www.jabra.com.
3. Run the setup.exe program included with the download. This will install Jabra PC Suite on your computer.
4. Follow the instructions on your computer screen. Installation is very simple and should take just a minute or
so. Please note the following as you work through the installation wizard:
- Jabra PC Suite requires Microsoft .NET Runtime 3.5. If this is not already installed on your PC, then the setup
program will automatically download and help you install it (requires an Internet connection).
- The wizard will ask which components of the Jabra PC Suite you would like to install. Usually, you should
install all of them.
- If you are using Microsoft Windows Vista, you may see a “user account control” message; just click on “Allow” to
continue with the installation.
- The wizard will ask if you would like to start the Jabra Device Service when Windows starts (see also the de-
scriptions of these programs below). If you will often use your headset with a softphone, then we recommend
that you enable the Device Service.
- At one point, you may see a warning from Windows that the software "has not passed Windows Logo testing.”
This is expected and does not indicate a problem. You can safely click on the “Continue Anyway” button.
Jabra Pc SuITE ProgramS
After installing the software, you will have an All Programs > Jabra > Jabra PC Suite folder in your Windows
Start menu. It provides links to the following programs:
- Jabra Control Center
Enables you to congure your headset from your PC.
- Jabra Device Firmware Updater
Enables you to update the headset rmware.
- Jabra Devices Service
Runs in the background and monitors your USB ports for Jabra devices. It makes sure that Windows will recog-
nize these devices and enables the Jabra Control Center and Softphone drivers to interact with them.
In addition to the above programs, the PC Suite also provides drivers for several types of softphones, including
Skype, Cisco IP Communicator and others. Support for Microsoft Oce Communicator is also available if you are
using the Oce Communicator version of the headset.
When you are using a supported softphone, you will be able to control that softphone using the buttons of the
headset USB controller. You can also talk using any softphone using its native graphic interface on your computer.
Note: Jabra is constantly evaluating the softphone market to see which new programs should be sup-
ported with a dedicated driver. Contact your Jabra representative or see the Jabra web site for the latest
news on softphone driver development.

Jabra Control Center is the Jabra Control Suite program that enables you to congure your headset. To run the
program, click on the Windows Start menu and select All Programs > Jabra > Jabra PC Suite > Jabra Control
Center.
When the headset is connected to your computer, you will see the settings that are relevant for that headset.
These settings are divided into three tabs: Softbuttons, Settings, and Mobile (only when activated).
Each of these is described below.

The Settings Tab
The options on the Settings tab enable you to control the Audio protection (Intellitone).
Use the settings in the Audio protection (Intellitone) area of the Settings tab to set the hearing-protection
level of your headset.
Hearing risk is evaluated as a function of both volume and duration. Therefore, the maximum sound level should
be lowered as the number of hours you spend using the headset increases. The headsets oer a choice of ve
protection levels. These features protect your hearing by preventing acoustic shocks and limiting the maximum
noise exposure from the headset during your workday. This system is called Intellitone™, which is only available
from Jabra. All protection levels (including “none”) also feature Peakstop™, which oers protection against sud-
den, loud audio spikes.
All four Intellitone levels above (other than “none”) meet and exceed de facto global protection levels, and are
compliant with NIOSH standards and EU health and safety codes of 85 dB(A). The TT4 protection level is compli-
ant with pertinent Australian recommendation.
In the Audio protection (Intellitone) area, mark the radio button for the Intellitone level that matches the number
of hours in which you use the headset each day (Australian users should choose TT4).
If you are using a Microsoft Oce Communicator softphone you need to switch to MS Oce Communicator in
the Settings tab as the primary target softphone for your calls.
Important: Check your local laws or regulations to nd out whether a specic protection level is
mandated in your area.
The Softbutton Tab
The settings on the Conguration tab enable you to assign functions to the soft buttons of the USB controller
(labeled × and O, respectively).
Use the drop-down lists here to select from the available functions for each of the two soft buttons. Once cong-
ured, you will be able to trigger these functions by pressing the corresponding button on the USB controller.
Often, you will congure these buttons to control the Bluetooth connection to your mobile phone. *See “Pairing
the Headset with Your Mobile Phone”, below, for details about how to do this.
If you want stereo sound for playing music, your phone needs to support A2DP.
Updating the Headset Firmware
Firmware updates can sometimes improve the performance of your headset and/or add new features. Visit the
Jabra web site to nd out if rmware updates are available for any of your Jabra products. You will be able to
download the updates from there as they become available.
WARNING: Do not remove the headset from your PC while the rmware is being updated and make
sure your computer will not shut down or go into sleep or standby mode during the process. (Should a
disconnection unintentionally occur, please retry from step 1)
To apply a rmware update:
1. If you have not already done so, then attach your headset to your computer.
2. If you have not already done so, then download the rmware update from Jabra and save it on your hard disk
or network in a location where you can see it from your computer.
3. On your PC, use the Start menu to run the rmware-update application of the Jabra PC Suite.
4. Follow the instructions on your screen to identify your headset model, select the rmware update le and
apply it. See also the Jabra PC Suite online help for more details.
how To uSE ThE hEaDSET wITh a mobIlE PhonE
The USB controller on the headset includes a Bluetooth circuit, which enables the headset to connect directly
wirelessly to a mobile phone or another Bluetooth sound source. When connected to a mobile phone, you will
be able to answer and end calls using the buttons of the of the Jabra BIZ 2400 USB controller.
Pairing the Headset with Your Mobile Phone
To use your headset with a mobile phone, you must pair the headset with your phone. Once they are paired, the
headset will automatically connect to the mobile phone whenever it is in range (i.e., you should only need to pair
the two devices once). The headset must remain connected to your computer, because it requires power from
the USB connection.
To pair your headset with a mobile phone:
1. Connect your headset to your computer and run the Jabra Control Center (see above).
2. Go to the Softbuttons tab of the Jabra Control Center. Here you see two drop-down lists for assigning
functions to each of the soft buttons of the headset controller.
3. Decide which of the two soft buttons you would like to use to control your mobile phone. Open the matching
drop-down list and select Mobile from the list.
4. The USB controller on the headset now lights blue, which indicates that the headset is in pairing mode. This
means that it is advertising itself for pairing with other Bluetooth devices.
5. Make sure that Bluetooth is active on your mobile phone and put your phone into Bluetooth nding mode.
The exact procedure for doing this varies by mobile phone manufacturer and model—see your mobile phone
manual for details.
6. Your phone now looks to see if any nearby Bluetooth devices are advertising themselves for pairing—this
should include your headset. Use your phone’s controls to identify and select the “Jabra BIZ 2400” device.
Your phone may also ask for the headset’s pass code. The pass code for all Jabra devices is 0000 (four zeros); if
necessary, enter this code into your phone and commit the code (e.g., by pressing on an OK button).
7. Your phone will now attempt to connect to the Jabra BIZ 2400 USB controller and then shows you the result
of the attempt. If the attempt fails, please try again. If you are still having trouble, please check your mobile
phone documentation and/or contact technical support for Jabra and/or your mobile phone.
*check you mobile manual for instruction on how to pair to headsets.

Once you have selected the mobile as one of the functions for your softbuttons, a Mobile tab will appear in the
Jabra Control Center.
You will be able to clear your paring list, thereby deleting the mobile phones paired to the headset. Once you
have clicked Clear pairing list – the headset will automatically enter a pairing mode.
By clicking on Enter pairing mode, the headset will enter pairing mode and you are now able to pair the headset
to a mobile phone – see the section on pairing your headset to a mobile phone, above.
Answering an Incoming Mobile Call
When a call arrives at your mobile phone, you will hear a ring tone in the headset and the USB controller will ash
blue and green. To answer the call, tap the soft button that you assigned to the mobile phone. When you are
done talking, tap the same button again to hang up.
Placing a Call over Your Mobile
To place a call with your mobile phone while using your headset, simply dial your mobile phone as usual. Usually,
the audio will be sent to your headset automatically whenever it is in range of your mobile phone.
Please see your mobile phone manual for details about how your specic mobile phone interacts with a Blue-
tooth headset and which, if any, conguration settings are available for this feature.
