Configuring and Testing Your CHAT 50
Consult the CHAT 50 User’s Manual for all device and software
configuration procedures as needed.
ChAt 50 Au d i o Co n f i g u r A t i o n
To ensure optimal sound quality, the CHAT 50 MUST be tuned properly
prior to use or after the device has been moved. The CHAT 50’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 50 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 50 User’s Manual or consult the
specific 3rd party application’s tuning adjustments.
For further details on configuring various devices for the CHAT 50 audio
settings, refer to the CHAT 50 User’s Manual.

The three microphone LED indicators illuminate blue when the CHAT
50 microphones are active. The indicators illuminate red when the
microphones are muted.
The seven volume LED indicators illuminate blue to indicate the current
volume setting—more lights indicate higher volume.
Vo L u m e & mu t e Bu t t o n s
Use the Volume Up/Down buttons (indicated by a large dot and a small
dot) to adjust the volume level of the CHAT 50. Holding down either
button will change the volume rapidly.
