To ensure optimal sound quality, the CHAT 150 MUST be tuned properly
prior to use or after the device has been moved. The CHAT 150’s audio
settings must also be customized for the specific application it is to be
used with and for the specific device it is to be connected to.
The CHAT 150 derives its audio settings from the Windows sound
settings if it is attached to a PC or through the 3rd party application’s
settings (Skype, Yahoo, etc.) Refer to the tuning procedures in the
Optimizing Sound Quality section in the CHAT 150 User’s Manual or
consult the specific 3rd party application’s tuning adjustments.
