What the Evolve2 30 SE has

Check the problem against what this model actually has:

• Connection: USB-A / USB-C (wired)

• In the box: headset, felt pouch and warranty and warning information

Quick checks

1. Restart the device: unplug power for 30 seconds, then reconnect.
2. Reconnect the cables, using the ones that came in the box.
3. Check that the Evolve2 30 SE is selected as the microphone and speaker in Teams, Zoom or Meet.
4. Update the firmware. How

No sound, or people can't hear you

• Check the mute button or mute light on the device and in the app.
• In Teams, Zoom or your softphone, select this device as both microphone and speaker.
• For wireless models, make sure it's connected to the dongle or phone you think it is.
• Update the device firmware and the app.

Bluetooth or dongle won't pair

• Put the device in pairing mode and remove the old pairing from your phone or computer first.
• Plug the USB dongle directly into the computer, not a hub.
• Re-pair the dongle using the manufacturer's desktop app.
• Charge it fully: low battery can prevent pairing.

Keeps disconnecting or drops out

• Use the original cable and a direct port on the computer; long or cheap USB extensions cause dropouts.
• Turn off USB power saving on the computer (Windows: Device Manager → USB Root Hub → Power Management).
• Update firmware and the meeting app.

When to contact Jabra

If none of this works, the device may need warranty service (Jabra warranty: 2 years). Open a case on Jabra support. Bought from us? Contact us and we'll help with the claim.
