Follow these steps
Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.
Put both earbuds in the open case and check their charge
- Who:
- you, with the charging case and both earbuds in front of the technician.
- How:
- place both earbuds in the case and leave the lid open. If you doubt their charge, take them out for a moment: per the manual, when removed the earbud LEDs light red, yellow or green according to battery, and the LED on the front of the case shows the case battery. Then put them back.
- Result that matters:
- start from two sufficiently charged earbuds in the position Jabra requires.
- If the LEDs show medium or high charge:
- carry on with the button hold.
- If an LED shows low battery:
- charge first before repeating the reset.
- Evidence to keep:
- colour of each earbud LED and of the front LED of the case.

What it means
The Jabra FAQ for the Jabra Elite 4 explains that an earbud that keeps flashing pink means only one was reset or the reset of both was interrupted, and that a single earbud cannot be reset. The user manual describes the same procedure. Other models may differ, and pink alone never proves an earbud or the case is faulty.
