To set up the Elite 85t earbuds, follow these steps

1. Remove the earbuds from the charging case.
2. Turn on Bluetooth on your device and open the Bluetooth settings.
3. Select "Jabra Elite 85t" from the list of available devices.

How to wear

Insert each earbud into your ear and ensure the microphones are pointed towards your mouth.

The EarGels have an oval shape to provide you a better fit in the ear. This means that the body of the earbud does not sit as deeply within the ear. To further improve the comfort and audio experience, each earbud features a semi-open design with pressure relief vents to reduce the ‘earplug effect’ in your ears.

Changing EarGels 
For the optimal audio and ANC experience, it is recommended to try each of the different EarGel sizes. The fit should feel light and comfortable in your ear. The medium EarGels are pre-mounted on the earbuds. 

When attaching a new EarGel, ensure the oval mounting tip on the earbud is aligned with the oval attachment on the EarGel. Press the EarGel firmly onto the earbud.

How to charge

Get up to 5.5 hours on a single charge with ANC on, with a total charge of up to 25 hours with the charging case. If you use the earbuds without ANC and HearThrough, you’ll get even more battery, with up to 7 hours in the earbuds and a total of 31 hours with the charging case.
Charging the earbuds
Place the earbuds in the charging case and close the lid. It takes up to 2.5 hours to fully recharge the earbuds. 
When the charging case is opened, the LEDs on the earbuds will light up red, yellow or green to indicate the battery status of the earbuds. The LED on the front of the charging case indicates the battery status of the charging case.

Fast charge the earbuds
When the earbuds are at low battery, placing them in the charging case for 15 minutes will fast charge the earbuds and give up to 60 minutes of battery. Fast charging the earbuds requires that the charging case has a minimum of 30% battery. You can see the current battery status of the earbuds and charging case using the Jabra Sound+ app.
Charging the charging case using USB
Plug the supplied USB-A to USB-C charging cable into the charging case and a USB-A power supply or certified wall charger. It takes up to 3 hours to fully charge the earbuds and the charging case.  

The charging case uses the standard USB voltage of 5v +- 0.25v. It is not recommended to charge the earbuds using a power supply with a higher voltage.
Note: Third-party USB chargers may take longer to charge the charging case.
Charging the charging case using the Jabra wireless charging pad
The charging case is Qi-certified. Place the charging case in the center of the Jabra wireless charging pad. The LED on the charging case will flash to indicate the charging case is placed correctly. It takes up to 3.5 hours to fully charge the earbuds and the charging case.

Because wireless charging pads take longer to fully charge a device, this may result in the device becoming warm. The elevated temperature is within safe operating requirements and has no bearing on the lifespan or performance of the device.
Note: Third-party wireless charging pads may take longer to charge the charging case.

All button functions can be reassigned using MyControls in the Jabra Sound+ app.
ANC, HearThrough and Voice assistant controls

All button functions can be reassigned using MyControls in the Jabra Sound+ app.
Advanced ANC
Advanced Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) counters noise by detecting and analyzing the pattern of incoming sound, and then generating an anti-noise signal to cancel noise out. As a result, you experience a reduced level of surrounding noise during music and calls. 

Advanced ANC can be adjusted using the Jabra Sound+ app to suit your specific hearing profile

By default, ANC cannot be turned on/off during calls. 
HearThrough
HearThrough lets you pay attention to your surroundings and engage in conversation, when not on a call, without needing to remove the earbuds. The microphones pick up surrounding sounds and transmit them to the speakers.

HearThrough can be adjusted using the Jabra Sound+ app.

Sidetone
Sidetone enables you to hear your own voice when you are on a call. The benefit of Sidetone is that it enables you to determine how loud you are speaking. Sidetone is on by default during calls and can be turned on/off using the Jabra Sound+ app. 

By default, Sidetone on/off cannot be controlled using the earbuds. However, it can be added to the earbuds using MyControls in the Jabra Sound+ app.
Mono earbud use
The right earbud can be used individually for mono music playback or for calls. When used as a mono earbud, the right earbud retains its current button functionality. To use the right earbud as a mono earbud, place it in your ear and place the left earbud in the charging case. You may need to tap the button on the right earbud to activate mono earbud use.

The earbuds will automatically relink when you place both of them in your ears.
Auto-pause music and calls
When one of the earbuds is removed from your ear,  music will automatically pause. To unpause the music, return the earbud to your ear within 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, the music can be manually unpaused by pressing the Right button.

Sleep mode

• To conserve battery, the earbuds will automatically power off when they are out of range of your mobile device for 15 minutes and are not in the charging case, or when they have been inactive for 30 minutes.
• To power the earbuds on, press and hold (1 sec)  the Left and Right buttons simultaneously. Alternatively, place them in the charging case and then take them back out.
• Sleep mode can be configured in the Jabra Sound+ app.

My Controls
My Controls is a feature in the Jabra Sound+ app that enables you to reassign any function to each of the earbud buttons, offering you the flexibility to configure the earbuds precisely to your personal preference. By default, the functions listed below cannot be controlled using the earbuds, however, these functions can be added to the earbuds using MyControls in the Jabra Sound+ app.

• Sidetone on/off
• Hold current call and answer incoming call
• Switch between held call and current call

Multiple call handling
The earbuds can accept and handle multiple calls at the same time.

Multi-connect

• The earbuds can be paired to two mobile devices at once, and can accept incoming calls from either mobile device.
• To pair to two mobile devices, use the normal pairing process separately for each mobile device (refer to section 6). After pairing to both mobile devices, you will need to select the Jabra Elite 85t again on the first mobile device in the Bluetooth settings to complete the pairing to both mobile devices.

Note: Only one of the mobile devices will have an active audio channel, and voice assistant will be activated on the last paired mobile device.

  If notifications are enabled in the Jabra Sound+ app, you will receive an automatic notification when a firmware update is available.
  After a firmware update, if the LED on the charging case flashes red, this indicates that the charging case was not updated correctly. To complete the firmware update correctly, connect the charging case to a power supply, remove the earbuds from the charging case, place the earbuds back in the charging case, and then close the lid for 5 seconds. This will complete the firmware update.
