Adjusting the volume
WARNING Hearing damage due to high volumes!
Listening at high volume levels for long periods can lead to
permanent hearing defects.
왘 Set the volume to a medium level.
왘 Do not continuously expose yourself to high volumes.
In order to be able to adjust the volume of the ring tone and the acoustic
signals, the headset has to be in standby mode. In order to be able to
adjust the audio volume, a wireless link has to be established between
headset and base station (see page
23).
In PC mode, you can adjust the volume using the AUDIO button
or by using the volume control of your operating system (see the
instruction manual of your operating system).

The last headset paired to the base station can be used without more ado.
If no wireless link is established between headset and base station:
왘 Place the additional headset into the magnetic holder of the base
station.
During pairing of the headset to the base station, the HEADSET LED
