1. Thank you
Thank you for purchasing the Jabra BT121 Bluetooth® headset.
We hope you enjoy it!
This instruction manual will get you started and ready to make the most
of your headset.
Remember, driving comes first, not the call!
Using a mobile phone while driving can distract you and increase the
likelihood of an accident. If driving conditions demand it (such as bad
weather, high traffic density, presence of children in the car, difficult road
conditions), pull off the road and park before making or answering calls. Also,
try to keep conversations short and do not make notes or read documents.
Always drive safely and follow local laws.

2. Set your Bluetooth phone to ‘discover’ the Jabra BT121
• Follow your phone’s instruction guide. First make sure that Bluetooth is

menu on your phone and selecting the option to “discover” or “add” a

16. 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). Get more information at www.bluetooth.com
2 Bluetooth profiles are the different ways that Bluetooth devices
communicate with other devices. Bluetooth phones support either the
headset profile, the hands-free profile or both. In order to support a
certain profile, 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 BT121. This makes your phone and the Jabra BT121
recognize each other and automatically work together.
5 Standby mode is when the Jabra BT121 is passively waiting for a call.
When you ‘end’ a call on your mobile phone, the headset goes into
standby mode.
