Pairing Jabra Bluetooth Headset with macOS

Hi,

I would like to expand the answer of Redkraken concerning pairing problems with his Jabra bluetooth headset Re: Jabra BT125 wont pair with Macbook

With my Jabra BT2046 I had the same issue - I couldn't pair to macOS Sierra and this couldn't be solved even with direct contact to Jabra's support. But the solution is (like very often) embarrassingly easy: read the manual carefully 😁

"In case of unsuccessful pairing, put the Jabra BT2046 into pairing mode manually."

How?

• Step #1 "Make sure the headset is off."
• Setp #2 "Press and hold the answer/end button for approximately 5 seconds until the LED has a constant light. The LED will flash before the light is constant – keep holding down the button until light is constant."

Did you realize how many times the manual is mentioning the constant light to wait for? Three times!

Remember: holding down the button for 5 seconds might be as well the "long press" to switch the headset off. So make sure that the headset has been really already switched off. But now press the button and wait for the constant light... at the end of the tunnel 😉
