Select one of the four earbuds and
insert it into the receiver, aligning the
pins with the notches. Rotate the
earbud clockwise,
1
⁄ 4 turn, until it
clicks into place.
Try all four earbuds until you find
one that comfortably rests against,
but does not enter, your ear canal.
WARNING
For your safety and comfort, the
earpieces should not be inserted into the
ear canal.
Never remove the black retention ring
from the base of the earpiece or use an
earpiece without the retention ring in
place.
This headset is not intended for children
under the age of 14 and can be danger-
ous and harmful to younger children.
Some parts of this headset are small
enough to be swallowed or to become
lodged in a child’s windpipe, ears or
nose. In addition, this headset, as with
any product with long strings or cords,
may be dangerous for infants and young
children as the cords may become
wrapped around a child’s neck, causing
strangulation. To avoid danger of suffo-
cation, keep the plastic bags in which
this product is wrapped away from
babies and children. Do not use the bags
in cribs, beds, carriages or playpens. The
plastic bags could block the nose and
mouth and prevent breathing.

Hold the receiver securely against

Carefully shape the boom with both
hands as shown. Do not bend or
twist the boom within
1

microphone.
Position the boom so that the

the proper position. Avoid repeated
twisting of the boom.
To temporarily move the Noise-
Canceling microphone boom away

The Polaris headset model is fitted
with a standard modular connector.
To use the Polaris headset model,
simply insert the modular connector
into the headset receptacle of a
compatible telephone.
The clothing clip keeps the headset
properly seated and free from the
cord‘s weight. Attach the clothing
clip at a comfortable level.
Some headset models are equipped
with a Quick Disconnect connector.
This feature allows you to place a call
on hold and move away from the
phone without removing the head-
set. When you separate the Quick
Disconnect, you place an ongoing
conversation on hold.
Before using your headset, join the
Quick Disconnect to the mating
connector of a plug prong, modular,
or Polaris 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.

PROBLEM ITEMS TO CHECK
Callers cannot
hear me
For voice tube models, determine if the
voice tube is clogged or positioned
improperly. Plantronics recommends
replacing the voice tube every 6 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, make sure
the microphone is facing your mouth and
positioned properly.
If you have a modular adapter, verify that
the transmit volume control is set properly.
Verify that the Quick Disconnect™is
connected.
Make sure the earbud is positioned
properly.
Make sure the plug prong or modular
adapter is installed correctly.
Turn up the volume control on the
plug prong or modular adapter.
Determine if the earloop is properly posi-
tioned on your ear.
Try other earbuds for optimal fit.
Try all possible adjustments for the
receiver arm (side to side, up and down,
in and out).
