Over-the-ear: To put on headset, move

earloop away

from receiver and place earloop over your ear. The over-the-ear

configuration allows further control by adjusting the flexible earloop as shown.

Over-the-head: Adjust headband length so

stabilizer bars rest above your ears. If necessary, to

increase or decrease tension on your head, bend the

metal part of headband inward or outward for desired comfort. Push

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.

Left Ear Conversion

3.1To 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.

3.2Then rotate the headset receiver downward to the opposite direction. It only rotates in one direction.

3.3For over-the-ear headsets, place earloop on opposite side of headset receiver. For over- the-head headsets, remove cable from cable notch, rotate the pivot pin holder as shown and replace cable in cable notch.

MAINTENANCE/TROUBLESHOOTING

Maintenance for Optimum Performance

■Replace voice tube every 6-9 months

■Replace ear cushion every six months

■Clean cable with a moist cloth once a month

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 6-9 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 over-the-ear or over-the-head configuration.
