Cautionary Notes to Computer Users:
When using any headset with a computer, care should be taken in dry or low humidity
environments to protect the user from electrostatic discharge from the monitor (CRT).
Computer monitors can induce a substantial electrostatic charge when turned on or off,
or when there is a power failure, and the resulting electrostatic discharge can be passed
through the headset to ground. A user in close proximity to or touching the computer
may feel a common “shock” sensation, similar to touching a door knob after walking
across a carpet, causing no harm to the user. This discharge is entirely due to the
computer monitor, the headset is merely the shortest path to ground.
To minimize the possibility of electrostatic discharge through the headset, you can
•Use a grounded screen in front of the monitor.
•Use static dissipative wrist straps.
•Increase the relative humidity in the room to 60% or more.
•Install static dissipative carpets or floor covering.
•Remove the headset before turning the computer on or off.
GN Netcom, Inc. products meet all OSHA, UL, FCC and CSA standards.
