3. Left Ear Conversion

See reference number 3 on illustration

3.1 To convert the headset for the left ear, first pull out the

front part of the microphone boom (on noise-canceling
models) then rotate it downward facing the opposite
direction. Voice tubes simply rotate.

3.2 Then rotate the headset receiver downward to the

opposite direction. It only rotates in one direction.

3.3 For over-the-ear headsets, place earloop on opposite

side of headset receiver. For over-the-head headsets,
remove cable from cable notch, rotate pivot pin holder
as shown and replace cable in cable notch.

4. Adjusting the headset

See reference number 4 on illustration

4.1 For over-the-ear models: To put on the headset, move

the earloop away from the receiver and place the ear­loop over your ear. This configuration allows further
boom control by adjusting the flexible earloop.

4.2 For over-the-head models: Adjust the headband length

so the stabilizer bars rest above your ears. If necessary,
to increase or decrease tension on your head, bend the
metal part of the headband inward or outward for
desired comfort.Push the receiver close to your ear
until it feels comfortable and you can hear the sound
from the telephone clearly.

In both configurations, the end of the boom should

be placed a distance of two fingers from the corner
of your mouth.

5. Additional Features

5.1 Clothing Clip

The clothing clip keeps the headset properly seated and
free from the cord’s weight. Attach the clothing clip at a
comfortable level.

5.2 Quick Disconnect™ Connector

This feature allows you to place a call on hold and move
away from the phone without removing the headset.

When you separate the Quick Disconnect™, you place
an ongoing conversation on hold. It does not allow you to
pick up another call.

Before using your headset, join the Quick Disconnect™
to the mating coupling of the modular adapter cable.

To put your call on hold, grasp Quick Disconnect™,
as shown, and pull straight apart. To resume your
conversation, reconnect the two halves.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Callers cannot hear me

■

For Voice Tube models 151, 161, or 171 determine if the
voice tube is clogged or positioned improperly. Plantronics
recommends replacing the voice tube every six to nine
months.

For a temporary solution to a clogged voice tube, gently
rinse warm water through the voice tube for a minute
then manually swing or shake it dry. Make sure the voice
tube is completely dry before reattaching.

■

For Noise-Canceling models 151N, 161N, or 171N
make sure the microphone is facing your mouth and
positioned properly.

■

Verify that the transmit volume control of the modular
adapter is set properly.

I cannot hear callers

■

Verify that the Quick Disconnect™ is connected.

■

Make sure the headset is positioned properly.

■

Make sure the modular adapter, if used, is installed
correctly.

■

Turn up the volume control on the modular adapter,
if used.

Fit is uncomfortable

■

For over-the-ear configurations, determine if the earloop
is properly positioned on your ear. For over-the-head
configurations, make sure the headband length is correct
so the stabilizer bars rest gently just above the ear.

■

Try all possible adjustments for the receiver in the over­the-ear or over-the-head configuration.
