Quick Disconnect™
Connector
This feature allows you
to place a call on hold
and move away from
the phone without
removing the headset.
When you separate

you place an ongoing
conversation on hold.
Before using your headset, join
the Quick Disconnect to the mating
connector of the modular adapter cable.
To put your call on hold, grasp Quick
Disconnect, as shown, and pull straight
apart. To resume your conversation,
reconnect the two halves.
The Convertible Process
(171 and 171N models only)
Over-the-ear:
To put on
headset, move
earloop away
from receiver and
place earloop over
your ear. The over-the-ear
configuration allows further
control by adjusting the
flexible earloop as shown.
Over-the-head: Adjust
headband length so
stabilizer bars rest above
your ears. If necessary, to
increase or decrease tension
on your head, bend the
metal part of headband
inward or outward for
desired comfort. Push
receiver close to your ear until
it feels comfortable and you
can hear the sound from the telephone clearly.
In both configurations: The end of the boom should
be placed a distance of two fingers from the corner
of your mouth.

Troubleshooting
Callers cannot hear me
■For Voice Tube models 151, 161, or 171 determine if the voice
tube is clogged or positioned improperly. Plantronics
recommends replacing the voice tube every 6-9 months.
For a temporary solution to a clogged voice tube, gently rinse
warm water through the voice tube for a minute then manually
swing or shake it dry. Make sure the voice tube is completely dry
before reattaching.
■For Noise Canceling models 151N, 161N, or 171N make sure the
microphone is facing your mouth and positioned properly.
■Verify that the transmit volume control of the modular adapter is
set properly.
I cannot hear callers
■Verify that the Quick Disconnect™is connected.
■Make sure the headset is positioned properly.
■Make sure the modular adapter, if used, is installed correctly.
■Turn up the volume control on the modular adapter, if used.
Fit is uncomfortable
■For over-the-ear configurations, determine if the earloop is
properly positioned on your ear.
For over-the-head configurations, make sure the headband length
is correct so the stabilizer bars rest gently just above the ear.
■Try all possible adjustments for the receiver in the over-the-ear or
over-the-head configuration.
