How to Connect Jabra’s Evolve 40 to a PC or a Mobile Device

September 11, 2020 by Ying-Hui Chen

Jabra headsets are very intuitive and easy to use. Today we will show you how to connect your Jabra Evolve 40 to your laptop or a mobile device. 

How to Connect Jabra’s Evolve 40 to a PC

The Jabra Evolve 40 headset connects to your PC through a controller. Fully plug your headset into the controller first and then connect the controller to a USB port on your PC. Make sure your headset jack is fully inserted into the controller.

What happens when the headset is disconnected from the controller during a call? The active call will be put on hold until you reconnect the headset to the controller and manually resume the call on your PC.

How to Connect Jabra’s Evolve 40 to a Mobile Device

When connecting your headset to a mobile device, you need to remove the controller. You should simply plug your headset directly into your mobile device. Note that when the headset is connected to a mobile device, the overall call quality will be lower than when connected to a PC or tablet through the controller. 

There you have it! Have you successfully connected your Jabra Evolve 40 to your device? Visit our product page to learn more!

There a VoIP system eliminates the need for multiple service providers. This will cut down your expenses significantly!
  • No long distance call fees: Since all VoIP phone calls are made through your existing Internet connection, there will be no more long distance call fees.  calls equally with a monthly fee.

You will find that prices for VoIP solutions vary widely since there are so many different ways to deploy VoIP. Some general things for you to consider are: 

  • Do you want to pay for everything up front? 
  • Do you want a monthly recurring charge, or do you want to pay for some of the system up-front and pay the rest off monthly?
