volume dial to a higher number. To decrease the

place a caller on hold. Press the switch. When
the color indicator is visible, you can hear the
caller, but they cannot hear you. To resume com-

Configuration Switch: This 2-part "Configura-
tion" switch enables you to select the proper
setting so that the SP05 will work with your tele-
phone. There are two controls to the switch.
Each has two positions I and 11. There are four
possible settings, as follows: (1-1). (1-11). (Il-
l), (11-11). For each setting, set the switch to the
desired configuration, then lift the handset and
listen for the dial tone. If you hear a dial tone the
Rotary Transmit-Volume Control
This volume control allows you to adjust the vol-
ume of the outgoing sound and the high and low
frequencies associated with it. To fme tune, place a
call and talk, rotating the control (with the tool pro-
vided - see inside the battery compartment) until
the desired level is reached. The person you are
speaking with will be able to tell you when the opti-
mum sound and tone level is reached. You may
wish to switch from headset to handset and back
again for comparison. For best results, begin at the
12 o'clock position and adjust as necessary.
(In adjusting volume controls -both send and re-
ceive -rotating the volume control to the maximum
setting may cause the headset to "squeal". This
receive is working. Be sure the headset switch is
"on" with the color indicator visible. To test for
transmit, listen for the dial tone and then hit a
dial button number. Begin to talk. You will be
able to hear yourself speak. Be sure the headset
switch is "on" and that the Mute Switch is "off',
with the color indicator not visible. You only
have to set the configuration switch once when
you first install your headset.

Batteries
If batteries are required, slide the battery com-
partment lid down and lift the lid off. Install each
battery, matching the +on the battery to the +on
the battery compartment diagram. Please install
the batteries properly, failure to do so may dam-
age the unit. When not in use the unit turns itself
off to preserve battery life. Batteries need replac-
ing - about once a year. Alkaline batteries are
recommended.
Note: With certain phones your SP05 Headset will
work without batteries. Do not install batteries until
you have completed the above configuration test.
Then install batteries only if needed. If batteries are
required, the battery compartment is located directly under the "Plantronics" label. Place your
thumbs on the top upper right and left corners. As you press down, slide the battery door towards the
rotary volume control.
Positioning the Headset
Be sure that the headset securely plugs into the
SPOS's front jack (Jack C).
Adjusting the headband: Your SP05 headband is
fully adjustable. Lengthen or shorten the metal part
of the headband for a comfortable fit. If necessary,
you may carefully bend the metal section for a
tighter or looser fit.
Positioning the receiver: Place the center of the
foam-covered re-
ceiver over the
center of your
ear. Make sure
that hair does not
cover your ear.
Place the pad at
the other end of
the headband
above your other
ear. It is not necessary to cover the other ear. The
headband can be as long or as short as you like
in order to be comfortable.
Positioning The Microphone: Adjust the microphone
boom sothat the microphone is near the comer of
your mouth. Do not grasp the microphone boom by
the tip. Adjust by rotating from the receiver end.
Adjusting the clothing clip: The clothing clip
takes the weight of the headset cord off of the
headset. Leave enough
slack in the cord, from
the headset to the clip
to permit comfortable
head movement. Slide
the clip along the cord
to adjust the slack. Atta-
che the clip to your
clothes at chest level.

Handset Use: To use your telephone handset in
a normal manner, press the Headset/Handset
switch so that the color indicator does not show.
Use the telephone handset normally - lift, dial,
talk, hang up.
