GN Netcom has always been about
improving productivity. That’s why we’ve
always been at the forefront of wireless
headset technology. With the GN Ellipse

2.4 digital wireless headset, we’ve
continued to expand its boundaries—
giving you nearly unrestricted freedom
of movement. If you want to get ahead,
get a GN Ellipse. You’ll go far.

no one will even know you’re on a

headset, let alone a wireless one!

GN Ellipse is lightweight and com-

fortable, too, since its transmitter

isn’t in the headset, but in a small,

4-ounce remote unit you wear on

your on your belt, on your pocket or

on a lanyard. Which gives you the

freedom to choose the headset

that’s right for you, from the full

range of GN Netcom headset styles.

YOU’LL GO FAR.

Can GN Ellipse enhance your

efficiency? Easily. Will it make you

more successful? We can’t promise

that. But there won’t be anything

holding you back.

GN Ellipse’s innovative
GN 1000 Remote
Handset Lifter option
lets you answer calls,
and hang up, from
wherever you are.

On-line Indicator

Flashes when your headset / handset
switch is in headset position.

Volume Control

Makes it easy to adjust the speaker
volume, so you always hear every word.

Mute Button

A double beep every 3 seconds lets
you know the mute function is on.

Remote Handset Lifter Button

Just press the button to take
the call, press again to hang up.

If you want to get anywhere today,

productivity is the key. Things keep

moving faster; you have to get more

done—in less time. Multitasking isn’t

just smart practice; it’s a fundamental

prerequisite for success.

The GN Ellipse 2.4 Digital Wireless Headset

You’ll go far.

INCREASE YOUR
REACH.

A headset is a step in the right

direction. But to be your most

productive, you need the GN Ellipse

wireless headset. With the GN

Ellipse, you’re not just hands-free,

you’re liberated. Free from your desk

and chair—even from the confines

of your office! Need to get up for a

file? Confer with a co-worker?

Check with shipping? You’re free

to roam with GN Ellipse, so you can

do it all—without putting the caller,

or your conversation, on hold.

GO THE DISTANCE.

Because GN Ellipse transmits at the

new 2.4 GHz frequency, you get

crystal-clear, interference-free

reception, anywhere within 200

feet of the base station. That means

unrestricted freedom of movement,

in a coverage area of more than

125,000 square feet! And GN Ellipse’s

innovative remote handset lifter

option even lets you answer calls, and

hang up, without going back to your

office. Twelve-hour battery operation

time means you can not only walk

farther, but talk longer. Add a second

battery, and get round-the-clock ope

r-

ation. Only GN Ellipse can do that!

FREEDOM WITHOUT
SACRIFICE.

So what’s the trade-off? The truth

is, you’re not giving up anything

when you choose GN Ellipse. Not

your privacy, which is the first thing

to go with a speakerphone. Or

security, since transmissions are

digitally encrypted and sent via

Spread Spectrum technology. Sound

quality? GN Netcom is the world

leader in headset sound quality. So

THE GN ELLIPSE

Reach peak productivity.

The 2.4 GHz Advantage

GN Ellipse is the first wireless headset

to take advantage of the 2.4 GHz

radio band. As a newly-allocated

frequency, 2.4 GHz is significantly

less crowded than 900 MHz (the old

"standard"). So GN Ellipse users enjoy

the improved sound quality and lack

of interference of this broader, "roomier"

bandwidth—plus increased range and

enhanced call security.

DSS gets the jump on
eavesdroppers.

For cutting-edge call clarity and

security,

GN Ellipse

uses Digital

Spread Spectrum (DSS) technology.

DSS prevents eavesdropping by

hopping frequencies in search of the

clearest available channel—90 times

a second! So attempts to listen in

pick up no more than a few bits

of information. DSS works so well,

it’s now the US military’s main

defense against signal jamming.
