Thank you for buying your Ultralight EX
headset top from Hello Direct.
You’ve made a wise choice in selecting an Ultralight EX headset. This is a high qual-
ity, commercial-grade set, designed for heavy everyday use. No other headset on the
market today comes close to matching the Ultralight EX headset for design, con-
struction, sound quality, and features at such a low price.
Now with both hands free, you can take notes, check files, even access your computer
while you’re on the phone—without getting neck and shoulder cramps from
scrunching your handset between your ear and shoulder. Your Ultralight EX headset
is so lightweight you can comfortably wear it all day, every day.
You’ll sound great to your callers. Because your Ultralight EX headset is equipped
with a noise canceling microphone, it won’t pick up background noise. It transmits
only your voice—clearly and naturally.
SETUP AND COMPATIBILITY
Your amplifier needs to be connected before you can use your headset. The Ultralight
headset plugs into the quick disconnect cable of a Hello Direct brand amplifier. Please
refer to the Quick Setup Guide in your amplifier box.
SOUND QUALITY
Sound level in the headset is adjusted from your amplifier. Please refer to the Quick
Setup Guide in your amplifier box.
ANSWERING AND PLACING CALLS
For most phones, you’ll need to lift the handset off the cradle to begin your call, and
put it back when you are through. (Our Touch-N-Talk, Item No. 1275, can help. Just
pull the lever, and the Touch-N-Talk raises the handset off the cradle.)
If your phone has a headset jack or switch, you won’t need to take the handset off the
cradle. Simply press a button to start and end your calls. (Usually this is the SPEAKER-
PHONE or LINE button. Check your telephone’s manual for details.)
If your phone has a 2 prong (PBX) jack, Item No. 1343 also lets you start and end calls
with the press of a button.

The foam feels too hard.
Change the cushions. Foam cushions
should be changed every two to three
months.
My headset feels too tight or loose on
my ear(s).
Adjust the headband. Using both hands,
flex the headband in or out until the
cushion(s) rests with almost no pressure
on your ear(s).
COMFORT PROBLEMS
For maximum comfort and efficiency,
we recommend you read all the
information provided in this booklet
before using your new headset.
HEADSET COMFORT
If you’ve never used a headset, wearing one may take some getting used to. Like
wearing glasses for the first time, it will feel different and perhaps awkward at first.
But once you’re used to it, you won’t want to give it up.
Give yourself some time to gradually get used to wearing your new headset. Use it
30 to 60 minutes a day for the first week, an hour or 2 a day for the second week,
and 3 to 4 hours a day for the third week. By the end of the fourth week, you’ll pre-
fer using the headset for all of your calls. Guaranteed!
The Ultralight Single top rests comfortably over just one ear. That leaves the other
ear free to hear what’s going on in your home or office around you—so you’ll
barely notice it’s there.
The Ultralight Dual top covers both ears, allowing you to fully focus on your
phone conversations, and hear your callers clearly even in very noisy environments.

Adjustments
The headband and microphone boom can be
bent to achieve best comfort and sound quality.
You can’t break them!
ADJUSTING THE HEADBAND
1. Using both hands, flex the headband in or
out until the cushion(s) rests with almost
no pressure on your ear.
2. Slide the headband up or down until it rests
on the top of your head and the cushion(s) is centered
against your ear.
ADJUSTING THE MICROPHONE BOOM
The microphone boom is flexible, so you can bend
and rotate it for comfort and best transmission.
Adjust the position of the microphone so that it is
one
inch away from your lips and one inch below.
Avoid positioning the microphone directly in
the path of your breath.
Important: Make sure that the side of the
microphone with the foam screen is pointed
toward your mouth.

BENDABLE!

ATTACHING THE CLOTHING CLIP
After adjusting your headset, attach the clothing clip, leaving
enough slack for comfortable head movement.

EAR CUSHIONS
Your Ultralight top comes with a choice of two ear cushions. The leatherette
cushion is best for sealing out background noises. The foam cushion provides
better grip against your ears.

Replacement parts
Microphone screens and ear cushions should be replaced every 2–3 months for hygienic
reasons and optimum performance. They should also be replaced if the headset is
passed along to a new user.
REPLACING THE FOAM MICROPHONE
SCREEN
To replace the microphone screen, use a pair of
tweezers to peel off the old foam screen. Remove
the adhesive backing from the new foam screen
and install over the microphone element.
