Customise your headset
Your headset comes configured for your right ear with a pre-installed small
ear tip and medium ear loop. You can also configure your headset for your
left ear, install a different sized ear tip and ear loop, or install the headband.
Change headset configuration
1 Gently pull the ear tip from the headset. Rotate the ear loop down 90°.
NOTE You will feel resistance when rotating the ear loop down; this is normal.
2 Remove the ear loop from the headset.
3 To wear the headset on the right ear but with a different sized ear loop or ear tip, select the size you
want and reinstall in reverse order as shown. Make sure the notch in the ear tip faces the microphone.
Left ear loop assembly
1 Choose the size of ear loop that fits most comfortably. Align the ear loop as shown and insert it onto
the headset. Make sure the ear loop is flat against the headset and rotate the ear loop up 90SDgr.
2 Choose the size of ear tip that fits most comfortably. Align the ear tip with the notch facing the
microphone as shown. Press on to attach.

Headband assembly
The headset can be rotated for wearing on the left or right ear.
NOTE Before installing the headband, remove the ear tip and ear loop from the headset.
1 Hold the headband so it is aligned to receive the headset as shown and insert the headset into
the headband.
2 Rotate the headset up.
3 To optimise the position of the headset, push the headset in so the microphone is close to the
corner of your mouth.

Position your headset
When you wear the headset, the microphone should rest as close to your cheek as possible
without touching. The microphone can be adjusted inward by the pivoting earpiece to optimise
the position of the headset.
1 Slide the headset over and behind your ear and fit the ear tip into your ear.
2 Holding the base of the headset, push it in and back towards your ear to allow the pivoting
earpiece to bring the microphone close to your mouth. As the base of the headset moves
backwards, you will feel soft clicks until the microphone rests close to your cheek.

Connect your desk phone
This section describes how to connect the base to your desk phone.
Connect the power
Plug one end of the power supply into the power jack on the back of the base and the other end
into a working power outlet. The power on LED will be solid white.
Charge the headset
Place the headset in the charging cradle. The charging LED on the base will flash green when
charging and turn solid green when the headset is fully charged. Charge for at least 20 minutes
prior to the first use. A full charge takes 3 hours.
