Step by step
-
Pick the position. Put it in the middle of the table, away from laptops, projector fans and HVAC vents, with nothing covering the microphones.
-
Connect power and cables. Connect the power adapter. Then connect the cables your setup needs (USB). Long runs may need the manufacturer's extender.
-
Pair a phone (optional). Put it in Bluetooth pairing mode (see the quick start guide for the button) and pick it on your phone. Bluetooth is for calls from a phone or tablet; for meetings on a computer, USB is more reliable.
-
Set up USB mode. Connect the Speak 810 to the computer by USB. In Teams, Zoom or Meet, open the device settings and select the Speak 810 as the microphone and speaker. Connect the camera or speakerphone to the PC with the supplied USB cable and select the Jabra device as camera, microphone and speaker in Teams/Zoom. Install Jabra Direct to check for firmware and change settings.
-
Update the firmware. Connect to a PC with the attached USB cable, install Jabra Direct and check for firmware; Jabra Direct notifies when updates are available. How to update the Speak 810
-
Run a test call. Join a test meeting, talk from the farthest seat, and ask the far end whether you're clear, at a good level and without echo.
