and/or TV/monitor, as shown in the following illustration. The cable has two RCA connectors on one end, and five on
the other end, split into two groups with two and three connectors.
The end with two connectors goes to the VC Breakout Box. The blue connector connects to the Audio In port
(identified by the icon), and the black connector goes to the Audio Out port (identified by the icon).
On the other end of the cable, the group with the Red (Right) and White (Left or Mono) connector plugs into the
corresponding audio ports on your TV. This connection allows you to either use the speaker on your CHAT 150 for audio
from the far end, or alternatively you can use the speakers on the TV. See Advanced Settings: Audio Settings in
Chapter 4: Using The CHAT Application for details on using this option.
The group with three connectors goes to your video conferencing device. The Red (Right) and White (Left or Mono)
connectors go to the corresponding Audio Out ports. However, if your video conferencing device does not have left and
right audio out, but only has a single channel (mono), connect the white connector to send a mono audio signal to the
CHAT 150. The black connector is inserted into the Audio In port.

Chapter 2: Getting Started 11
CHATAttach: Connecting Two CHAT Devices
The CHATAttach makes it possible to connect two CHAT devices together for larger conference settings using the
CHATAttach accessory kit.
In order to use the CHATAttach accessory, the following criteria must be met:
1. Both CHAT devices must be the same model number - both CHAT 150, both CHAT 160 or both CHAT 170 devices -
mixing CHAT models using CHATAttach is not currently possible.
2. Both CHAT devices must have identical firmware versions installed. The firmware must be CHATAttach compatible.
To ensure this, download the latest version of the firmware from the Website and configure each device that will
be connected to the CHATAttach accessory with the latest firmware. All older CHAT 150 devices require firmware
updates in order to work with the CHATAttach accessory.
3. The CHAT device must be at least 5’ apart for best performance.
Use the following steps to connect the CHATAttach accessory.
1. Connect the two CHAT devices using the keyed CHATAttach cable.
2. Position the two CHAT 150 devices so they’re at least 5’ apart from each other.
3. Plug in the CHATAttach power supply.
To prevent the power cable from inadvertantly becoming unplugged before, during or after meetings, it
is recommended that the connector end of the cable be secured in some way. One approach is to knot
the male-female connection to prevent this from occurring as shown above.
A recommended professional approach to setting up a conference room utilizing the CHATAttach
accessory is to drill holes near where the CHAT devices will be placed, route the cabling through the
holes and secure them underneath the conference table as shown above.
4. Follow the instructions in the CHAT 150 User’s Manual to setup the CHAT device with a PC.

OPTIMIZING SOUND QUALITY
For optimal sound quality, you must adjust the CHAT 150’s audio settings for each device and application you will be
using as described in the procedures below.
> NOTE: The volume settings in the CHAT software are synchronized with the Windows volume settings.
Changing the volume using the CHAT software or the buttons on the CHAT 150 also changes the
volume settings in Windows. Conversely, changing the volume settings in Windows will change the
settings in the CHAT software.
Using with Pre-Defined Device Settings
The pre-defined device settings available in the CHAT application will provide good sound quality for many of the most
popular devices used with the CHAT 150. If you used the procedure in the previous section to configure the CHAT 150’s
settings for one of these devices, test the sound quality before performing any additional tuning. If you are satisfied with
the sound quality, no further adjustments are necessary.
Applying Audio Settings to the CHAT 150
Select the device you wish to use with the CHAT 150, then click the Apply to CHAT button to apply the custom audio
settings.
16 Technical Support: 800.283.5936
CHAPTER 4: USING THE CHAT APPLICATION
USING THE CHAT APPLICATION
1. If not already open, start the CHAT application.
2. Click the My Devices button and select the device you want to tune (select the Other or All option if your device/
application is not listed), then click the Apply to CHAT button.

the USB Audio section of the screen to tune applications; use the Line Audio section to tune external hardware
devices connected to the CHAT 150 breakout box.
> NOTE: In the Advanced screen, adjusting Microphone Level under USB Audio changes the CHAT
150 microphone volume for USB applications, while adjusting the Output Level under Line Audio
changes the microphone volume being sent to the device connected to the CHAT 150’s line audio jack.
Likewise, adjusting Speaker Level under USB Audio changes the CHAT 150 speaker volume, while
adjusting the Input Level under Line Audio changes the speaker volume being received from the
connected device.
6. Place a call using the device or application. Land lines provide the best audio for tuning purposes.
7. Ask the person on the other end of the call to count from 1 to 10 in a normal voice. While the person is counting,
click and move the Input slider in the CHAT application until the caller’s voice can be clearly heard. Repeat as
needed to find the optimal speaker volume for the device.
8. While the caller is still connected, count from 1 to 10 in a normal voice. Ask the caller if they can hear you clearly.
Click and move the Output slider until the caller can hear you clearly. Repeat the test count as needed to find the
optimal microphone volume for the device.
9. Click Save to Database to capture the optimized settings. The Add Settings to Database dialog appears. Enter

ADVANCED
Advanced displays the current audio settings for your CHAT 150.
You can also use the Advanced screen to adjust audio settings for your CHAT 150, save your settings as a custom
device, view and edit the CHAT 150 device database, and view the CHAT 150 log file. This section describes how to use
each of these functions.
22 Technical Support: 800.283.5936
ADVANCED SETTINGS: AUDIO SETTINGS
Audio Settings displays the current audio settings and allows you to change them for the CHAT 150 currently
connected to your PC. You can also create custom audio settings for a device (see Advanced Settings: Database later
in this chapter for more information).
The audio settings are as follows:
• USB Audio: These controls affect the audio settings of the CHAT 150 when it is connected via USB to your
computer. Use the Mute buttons to mute either the microphone or speaker on the CHAT 150. Use the sliders to
adjust the microphone level and speaker level. Speaker and microphone level adjustments made in the CHAT
software will automatically change the speaker and microphone volume levels in Windows.
• Line Audio: These controls affect the audio settings of the CHAT 150 when it is connected to devices through
its I/O jack, such as handset telephones and video conferencing devices. These functions are unavailable if only
the USB is connected and appear grayed-out. Use the input slider to adjust the level of the incoming audio to the
speaker; use the output slider to adjust the level of the outgoing audio to the receiver side of the call.
• Speaker: These settings are only available when the VC Breakout Box is connected. The following options are
available:
• Normal: USB audio and line in audio from the VC Breakout Box are mixed through the CHAT 150 speaker.
• Video Mode: Select this option to allow the audio from the far end of the video conference call to come
through the TV speakers instead of the CHAT 150 speaker. Ensure that the CHAT 150 RCA connection
cable (included with the CHAT 150 VC configuration) is properly connected (see the section Connecting
CHAT 150 To A Video Conferencing Device in this manual for detailed instructions). USB audio still comes
through the CHAT 150 speaker in this mode.
• External Speakers: With this option selected, all audio (both USB and line in) is muted on the CHAT 150 and
routed to the line out jack on the CHAT 150 VC Breakout Box, to which you can connect external speakers and/
or an amplifier. In this mode, you are using the CHAT 150 as a microphone device only.
• USB/Analog Mix: Click this box to mix the audio coming into the CHAT 150 through the USB connection with
the audio coming through the I/O jack. For example, if this option is selected and you are talking to a colleague
via Skype on your PC connected to your CHAT 150, and you also initiated a video conference call through the VC
Breakout Box, all three parties would be joined together for a bridged call. The USB/Analog Mix setting is ignored
while the Speaker option (see above) is set to Video Mode or External Speakers.
• Line Echo Cancellation: Click this box to enable line echo cancellation. Line echo cancellation eliminates the
echo caused when the CHAT 150 is connected to a telephone. On a telephone, audio is normally routed from the
mouthpiece to the earpiece so that you can hear your own voice while talking, which causes feedback on a speaker
phone.
WARNING: Enabling line echo cancellation while not connected to a telephone may cause audio
problems, so only use this option while connected to a telephone.
Any settings changes that you make on this screen are instantaneously applied to the CHAT 150. In addition, you have
the option to click on Save to Database to capture the current settings and save them as a custom device as described
in the next section.
Chapter 4: Using the Chat Application 23
ADVANCED SETTINGS: DATABASE
Database displays the devices configured for the CHAT 150 and allows you to edit them. The CHAT 150 device
database includes all of the audio settings for the devices pre-programmed by ClearOne (identified by the icon next
to each device) and any custom audio settings you set up and wish to save for later use.
The icon indicates that the device is in your My Devices list and can be edited.
To view the settings for a particular device, select the device and click the View button, or double-click the device name.
The View Database Record dialog appears.
24 Technical Support: 800.283.5936
Click Ok to close the View Database Record dialog.
To create a custom audio settings for a device, perform the following procedure:
1. Click the New button from the Main Advanced screen shown above. The Add Settings to Database dialog
appears with the settings of the device you had selected in the database view.
2. Adjust the audio settings or click Upload from CHAT to upload and display the CHAT 150’s current settings.
3. Click the Select 1st drop-down box and select the desired device type. Or, you can type a custom name, if
necessary.
4. Click the Select 2nd drop-down box and select the desired manufacturer (or enter your own).
5. Type a name for the model of the new device in the Select 3rd field. The Ok button will appear as soon as the first
character is entered.
6. If you do not wish to add this device to your list of My Devices, de-select the Include in My Devices checkbox.
The default is to include new devices in your existing list.
7. When all selections are made, click Ok to save the custom audio setting.
8. The custom device is added to the CHAT 150 device database and is now available through Device Setup as an
available device.
> NOTE: In the device database, your custom device does not have the ClearOne icon next to it,
differentiating it from a pre-programmed device.
Chapter 4: Using the Chat Application 25
EDIT CUSTOM AUDIO SETTING
1. To edit custom devices, click the Edit button (appears in the place of the View button for custom devices) after
selecting the custom device you wish to edit. The Edit Database Record appears.
2. Adjust the audio settings, or click Upload from CHAT to upload the CHAT 150’s current audio settings.
3. When you are finished editing, click Ok.
4. Click Yes to save the device with the new audio settings or click No to return to the Edit Database Record dialog.
To cancel your changes, click Cancel.
5. To delete custom devices from the device database, click the Delete button after selecting the device you wish to
delete.
You can only delete custom devices - you cannot delete pre-programmed devices (devices with the ClearOne icon
next to them).
ADVANCED SETTINGS: LOG
Log displays a list of actions taken by the CHAT 150, including a timestamp and a description of the action or even.
To save the log to a text file, click the Save button. A standard Windows save dialog appears. Name the file and choose
the directory in which you wish to save the file (the default directory is the CHAT 150 Log directory).
Click Clear to clear all entries in the log window.
26 Technical Support: 800.283.5936
CHAPTER 5: MAINTENANCE
CARING FOR YOUR CHAT 150
• Follow all warnings and instructions in this manual.
• Unplug all cables from the CHAT 150 before cleaning.
• Unplug the power supply from the wall outlet (Phone/VC only) before cleaning.
• Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth moistened with water to clean the outside of your CHAT 150
and power supply.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If you are having trouble with the audio from your CHAT 150, it might not be optimized (tuned) for the specific hardware
device you are connected to. If you have not yet optimized the sound for this device, refer to the Optimizing Sound
Quality section in Chapter 3.
If you are still encountering problems, use the following procedure to troubleshoot the CHAT 150:
1. Activate the CHAT 150 software and verify the audio settings for the hardware device connected to the CHAT 150.
If this does not solve the problem, then look more closely at your hardware device for the problem (refer to the
hardware device’s User’s Manual or contact Technical Support).
2. Make sure all cables are properly and securely connected. Verify cable connections with the appropriate illustration
for your hardware device (see Chapter 2: Getting Started for more information).
3. If the CHAT 150 is connected through a USB hub, be sure that the USB hub is connected to an external power
source.
4. If another USB device such as a digital camera is connected to the computer on the same bus as the CHAT 150,
the Windows error message “USB Controller Bandwidth Exceeded” may be displayed. If this occurs, move the
other USB device to a separate USB bus. The CHAT 150 is a high-performance USB device and requires sufficient
bandwidth in order to operate properly.
If you are unable to resolve the problem using this procedure, please refer to the support pages on the ClearOne
Website or contact ClearOne Technical Support:

Chapter 5: Maintenance 27
INTERRUPTED FIRMWARE UPDATE RECOVERY
If firmware programming was interrupted (such as by a power loss or an accidental cable disconnection), the CHAT 150
might become unstable. The CHAT 150 software will boot into a generic mode and the Generic Mode screen will be
displayed.
To perform the firmware update, read and follow the instructions on the screen then click the Update Firmware button
(see the Update Firmware & Database section in Chapter 4: Using The CHAT Application for detailed instructions).
The messages “Initializing” and “Recovering” appear above the progress bar, followed by the typical messages that
appear during a firmware update. The update then continues to completion.
If the CHAT 150 attempts to recover from a programming error by booting up in the Generic (DFU) mode, a series of
instruction windows will be displayed. Follow the on-screen instructions to resolve this issue.

高级设置：音频设置
Audio Settings 显示当前音频设置，用户可以对当前连接在 PC 上的 CHAT 150 设备音频进行更改。您也可以自定义音
频设置（更多内容，请参见本章后面内容高级设置：数据库）。
音频设置如下所示：
• USB Audio：当 CHAT 150 通过 USB 连接到计算机上时，可以通过该功能控制设备的音频设置。Mute 按钮，可
以使 CHAT 150 上的麦克风或扬声器静音。使用滑块来调节麦克风和扬声器音量等级。CHAT 软件中的麦克风和扬
声器音量等级调节，自动反映在 Windows 麦克风和扬声器音量的变化上。
• Line Audio：在 CHAT 150 通过 I/O 插口连接到诸如手提电话及电话会议设备上时，该功能控制 CHAT 150 的音频
设置。仅当 USB 连接模式及变灰显示时，该功能不可用。输入滑块用来调节输入到扬声器的音频音量等级，而输
出滑块则是调节电话接收方的输出音频音量等级。
• Speaker：该设置仅在 VC 连接盒连接时可用。以下选项可用：
• Normal：USB 音频和来自 VC 连接盒的线路音频通过 CHAT 150 扬声器混合。
• Video Mode：选择该选项时，来源于视频会议电话远端的音频通过电视扬声器播放，而非 CHAT 150 设备播
放器播放。保证 CHAT 150 的 RCA 连接 电缆（包括 CHAT 150 的 VC 配置）正确连接（详细说明请参见本说
明书CHAT 150连接到视频会议设备章节）。该模式下，USB 音频将通过 CHAT 150 扬声器播放。
• External Speakers：选择该选项，CHAT 150上的所有音频（包括 USB 和线路音频）均静音，音频发送到
CHAT 150 VC 连接盒的外放接口上，用户可以连接外接扬声器和/或扩音器。该模式下，CHAT 150 只能作为
麦克风设备使用。
• USB/Analog Mix：点击该方框，就会将通过 USB 连接的 CHAT 150 音频和来自于 I/O 接口的音频混合。例如，如
果选择该选项，用户通过个人电脑上的 Skype（连接 CHAT 150）与同事对话，并且通过 VC 连接盒发起视频电话
会议，那么这三方可以连接起来，共同对话。但是，当 Speaker 选项（见前文）设置为 Video Mode 或 External
Speakers 时，USB/模拟混合设置无效。
• Line Echo Cancellation：单击该方框，启动线路回音消除。CHAT 150 连接到电话上时，线路回音消除可消除产
生的回音。在电话上交谈时，音频通常由送话口送到听筒，方能听见声音。然而，这样也使得声音返回到说话人的
电话上。

第 5 章：维护
保护您的 CHAT 150
• 遵守本手册中的所有警告和指示。
• 清洁前，拔去 CHAT 150 的所有电缆。
• 清洁前，从墙上插座拔去电源（仅电话和 VC）。
• 请勿使用液体清洁剂或喷雾清洁剂。将抹布湿润用来清洁 CHAT 150 及其电源外部。
故障排除
如果您的 CHAT 150 音频出现问题，可能是您没有优化（调整）您连接的硬件设备。如果您还没有优化该设备，参见
第 3 章优化声音质量。
如果仍然有问题，采用以下步骤，排除 CHAT 150 的故障：
1. 启动 CHAT 150 软件，校验连接在 CHAT 150 上的硬件设备的音频设置。如果仍然不能解决问题，那么进一步检查
您的硬件设备（参见硬件设备的使用手册，或者联系技术支持）。
2. 保证所有电缆都已正确、安全连接。校验硬件设备的电缆连接按照示意图正确连接（更多信息，参见第 2 章：
入门）。
3. 如果 CHAT 150 通过 USB 集线器连接，保证 USB 集线器连接在外接电源上。
4. 如果有另外一个 USB 设备，例如数码相机，也连接在与 CHAT 150 相同的计算机总线上，那么可能会出现
Windows 报错信息“USB Controller Bandwidth Exceeded”。此时，可将另外一个 USB 设备移动到其他 USB
总线上。CHAT 150 是一种高性能 USB 设备，需要充足的带宽，保障其正常运转。
如果该步骤仍旧不能解决问题，请参考 ClearOne 网站上的支持页面，或联系 ClearOne 技术支持。

固件更新中断恢复
如果固件软件中断（例如停电或偶然电缆断开），CHAT 150 可能会不稳定。CHAT 150 软件就会启用一般模式，显示
General Mode 界面。
要更新固件，请阅读和遵守界面上的指示，然后单击 Update Firmware 按钮（更多内容，参见 第 4 章：使用 CHAT
应用的更新固件&数据库）。在固件更新过程中，进程条上会显示“Initializing”和“Recovering”信息，然后再显示典
型更新信息，直到更新结束为止。
如果 CHAT 150 试图在一般（DFU）模式中启动，从而从程序设计错误中恢复，将会显示一系列指示窗口。请遵照屏幕
