Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Jabra right earbud work but the left does not?
The right earbud is the primary unit that connects to your phone. The left connects via the right. If the left loses its secondary connection, placing both in the case and re-removing them re-establishes the link.
My Jabra earbud stopped working after getting wet — can I fix it?
Jabra Elite earbuds have an IP rating but are not fully waterproof. If moisture entered, place the earbud in a dry environment for 24 hours before testing. Do not use heat.
Can I use one Jabra earbud alone if the other is broken?
Yes — most Jabra Elite earbuds support mono mode. Use either the left or right earbud individually. Some models require the right earbud specifically for single-earbud use.
