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.
-
Charge and connect it. Charge the Speak2 55 fully, then connect it to the computer with the USB cable. It runs on battery or USB power.
-
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 Speak2 55 to the computer by USB. In Teams, Zoom or Meet, open the device settings and select the Speak2 55 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.
