To activate your Jabra Elite 4 Active and connect them for the first time, you need to put the earbuds into pairing mode. This process makes them discoverable by your mobile device.
Putting Your Jabra Elite 4 Active into Pairing Mode
Getting your earbuds into pairing mode is the crucial first step for connecting them to your smartphone, tablet, or computer. Follow these straightforward steps to prepare your Jabra Elite 4 Active for connection.
Step-by-Step Pairing Guide
- Prepare Earbuds: Ensure both earbuds are out of the charging case and have sufficient battery life.
- Initiate Pairing Mode: Simultaneously press and hold both the Left and Right buttons on the earbuds for approximately 3 seconds.
- Confirm Pairing Mode: Keep holding until the LEDs on both earbuds begin to flash blue. This flashing blue light signifies that your earbuds are now in pairing mode and are ready to be discovered by your mobile device.
- Device Connection: Proceed to your mobile device's Bluetooth settings to complete the connection.
It's important to note that even if you intend to use only one earbud, both earbuds must be paired with your mobile device initially for full functionality.
Connecting to Your Mobile Device
Once your Jabra Elite 4 Active earbuds are in pairing mode (indicated by flashing blue LEDs), you can proceed to connect them to your preferred device.
- Access Bluetooth Settings: On your smartphone, tablet, or computer, navigate to the Bluetooth settings menu.
- Enable Bluetooth: Ensure that Bluetooth is turned On for your device.
- Scan for Devices: Your device will automatically start searching for nearby Bluetooth devices.
- Select Your Earbuds: Look for and select "Jabra Elite 4 Active" from the list of available devices.
- Confirm Connection: Follow any on-screen prompts to confirm the pairing. Once connected, your device will typically show a "Connected" status, and the earbud LEDs may stop flashing or change to a solid color briefly to indicate a successful link.
Tips for a Smooth Activation
For the best experience and to troubleshoot common issues, consider these practical insights:
- Charge First: Always ensure your earbuds are adequately charged before attempting to pair them for the first time or after a period of non-use.
