POSITIONING THE BOOM
If you have the Voice Tube version of the product, pull-out,
push-in, rotate, or swivel the Voice Boom into a position
near the corner of your mouth that best transmits your voice.
If you have the Noise-Canceling version of the product,
position the tip of the Voice Boom as near to the corner of
your mouth as you comfortably can.

SECURING THE HEADSET
Attach the Clothing Clip at about chest level. The clip keeps
the headset properly seated and free of the weight of the
Headset Cable . This is particularly important in the Earloop
configuration.

SUPPLIES AND ACCESSORIES

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. The FCC Part 68 Label is
located on the bottom of the unit. This label contains the FCC Registration
Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. If requested
this information must be provided to your telephone company.
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your
telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone num-
ber is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices con-
nected to one line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of
devices you may connect to your line, as determined by the REN, you should
contact your local telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your
calling area.
Connection to the telephone network should be made by using standard modular
telephone jacks, type RJ11. The plug and/or jacks used must comply with FCC
Part 68 rules. If this telephone equipment causes harm to the telephone network,
the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance
of service may be required. But if advance notice isn’t practical, the telephone
company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised
of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, opera-
tions or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your equipment.
If they do, you will be notified in advance in order for you to make necessary
modifications to maintain uninterrupted service.
NOTE: If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the tele-
phone line, be sure that installing the system does not disable your alarm equip-
ment. If you have questions about what will disable your alarm equipment, con-
tact your telephone company or a qualified installer.
