1. Ensure Bluetooth is on on the device settings-> Bluetooth and search for the jabra
2. If the jabra has a pairing or discovery button try hold that to put it into discovery mode. It may have paired the first time easy and still be tied to the other device and is not automatically overriding. What is the model

There are basically two methods to put a Bluetooth earpiece into pairing mode 1. Turn OFF Bluetooth device, press & hold talk button, turn on device, scan or search for the device under your phone's Bluetooth settings 2. Turn ON Bluetooth device, press & hold talk button, turn on the device, scan or search for the device under your phone's Bluetooth setting. Both methods will make most Bluetooth devices blink from red to blue when the device is pairing mode. Some may go to a solid blue.

I downloaded this from the Jabra site. Number 6 seems to be the key, and I also restarted my Galaxy5 before reattempting. It worked!
1. Touch Apps
2. Scroll to and touch Settings
3. Scroll to and touch Bluetooth.
4. Ensure Bluetooth is turned on
5. Slide the Power switch to turn the JABRA DRIVE On
6. Press and hold the Answer/End button until you have a rapid flashing blue LED
7. Touch the JABRA DRIVE in the list of devices
8. The JABRA DRIVE is now paired
9. The JABRA DRIVE and Galaxy S5 are now ready to be used

#6 puts the Jabra into discoverable mode, so yes, it's the key. The S5 can't find it if it's not discoverable.

Do you have to do this every time? I never had to worth my Motorola. I've had to connect manually every time with the Jabra Drive.

I have a Jabra Drive hands free phone device the "Talk Button" is in the middle of the speaker and is pushed for answering or calling out on the Bluetooth paired cell phone.Its part of the Bluetooth device not the cell phone.Hope this helps.

I have the Galaxy s4 and have never had a problem pairing any headset with it but this Extreme 2 is killing me. First it doesn't say Jabra Extreme, it says 5E:8C:51:97:604. Is that the headset? It took a while to get my phone to recognize it but now it says "unable to communicate with that number I just put. What can I do here?
