telephone. Connect the telephone’s headset port to the telephone port on the base. This will
enable you to use the call button on your telephone, if there is one, and will limit the number
of cords coming out of your base.

is ideal for most users. However, if you experience interference from other communication
devices during your calls, you may want to switch to the Low or Very Low modes. Changing to
Low or Very Low power modes will reduce the range of your headset.
Power modeRange* DECTRange* US DECT
NormalUp to 100 mUp to 300 ft

2.5.5 Protection level selection
Your headset offers a choice of 4 protection levels (plus its additional basic protection level).
These levels protect you against sudden, overly-loud sound spikes that may come from the
phone network (such as shrill telefax signals or network interference), and provide a limit to
the maximum noise exposure from the headset during your workday.
The number of hours (on average) you spend on the telephone per day determines the setting you should select. All 4 protection levels meet and exceed de facto global protection
levels, and are compliant with NIOSH standards, and EU health and safety codes of 85 dB(A).
The TT4 protection level is compliant with pertinent Australian recommendation.
Important: In some jurisdictions, applicable regulations or laws may mandate the required setting you use. The Default level provides a protection level of 118 dB(A). Your headset protects you
against overly-loud sound spikes. If you use the telephone’s handset for calling, you will not have
this protection.
Protection levelCriteria for selecting
Level 0Basic protection against overly-loud sound spikes
Level 1*Less than 4 hours on telephone/day
Level 2*4-8 hours on telephone/day
Level 3*More than 8 hours on telephone/day
Level 4 (TT4)Recommended Australian protection level (Telstra)
* Compliant with Directive 2003/10/EC of the European Parliament and Council of 6 February 2003.

Automatic volume adjustment and noise reduction
Your headset offers two built-in features which give you optimum sound levels and quality.
Both features operate automatically, so you need not make any adjustments to the headset.
Automatic volume adjustment
The automatic volume adjustment feature automatically sets the volume levels of all calls,
so that each call is heard at the same, consistent volume you have set. Autovolume is not
enabled in protection level 0.
Noise reduction
The automatic noise reduction feature improves the sound quality of incoming calls by
removing impurities transmitted with the signal, such as background noise from your caller’s
environment.
3. Wearing styles
Your headset offers headband, neckband and ear hook wearing styles.
Note: GN 9330 and GN 9330 USB come with an ear hook and a headband. Neckband is available as

8. Troubleshooting
GN 9350 GN 9330
GN 9330 USB
Q: Nothing happens when I try to adjust the clear dialtone.
A: Make sure the base is set for telephone mode and the link is established (telephone
button’s indicator on base is fl ashing). Also ensure that the telephone is activated (handset is
off the hook or line button is pressed).
Q: I am getting a buzzing sound on my headset.
A: If the unit has been correctly set-up, your telephone may not be fully immune to the radio
signals the headset uses. To overcome this problem, move the headset base at least 30 cm away
from the telephone. On GN 9350, you may want to reduce the range of your unit instead.
GN 9350 GN 9330
GN 9330 USB
Q: My customers say they cannot hear me.
A: Ensure the base unit is in the correct system setting by adjusting the clear dial tone switch.
You should experience a high quality dial tone from the headset. Then call a friend and adjust
your headset’s microphone as described in the Guide for basic set-up and use.
For setting information on your telephone system, please also refer to www.gnnetcom.com/
gn9300/support.
GN 9350 GN 9330
GN 9330 USB
Q: When I press the talk button, the GN 1000 RHL lifts, but the call is not
connected.
A: Make sure that you are using the telephone’s handset port, and not the headset port
(if your telephone has one), when using a GN 1000 RHL for remote answering.
Q: I have heard there is a GN Netcom wireless headset which has no need for
a GN 1000 RHL to answer calls remotely.
A: Yes, this is known as the EHS (electronic hookswitch) feature on the GN 9350, which some
telephone systems support. Check with your supplier for compatibility with your phone, and/
or consult our support site at www.gnnetcom.com/gn9120/ehs-setup.
Q: I have moved desks at work. Is it possible to put my headset onto another base?
A: Yes, this is possible. The headset only needs to be paired to the new base. Just follow the
procedure as described in section 4.7 of this guide.
17
Q: My telephone should be able to operate with the EHS version of
GN Netcom, but I cannot make it work.
A: Please refer to www.gnnetcom.com/gn9300/support for more information, including
compatibility and the correct, clear dialtone switch setting.
