2.1 Connecting USB Speakerphone to PC
1Connect the USB cable to the USB port on the back of
the speakerphone.
2Connect the other end of the USB cable to the USB port
on your computer. A blue light will illuminate through the
buttons on the top of the unit indicating the speakerphone is
powered on and operating.
2.2 External Speakers/Headphone
Connection
The MCD100-M is equipped with 3.5mm stereo Headphones
/ External Speaker connector. Connecting your computer’s
loudspeakers (or headphones) to the MCD100-M will disable the
MCD100-M’s internal speaker. Your computer’s audio (music,
VoIP communication, or any other) will be passed through to
the external speakers, maintaining the same sound quality your
computer can deliver. While the internal speaker is disabled when
using this connection, the MCD100-M’s internal microphone is
still functional.
2.3 Confirming MCD100-M is Configured as
Microsoft Office Communicator 2007
Speakerphone
MCD100-M works plug-and-play with Microsoft Office
Communicator 2007 and requires no drivers or additional
software. For most computers, MCD100-M should become the
default speakerphone device when connected to your computer.
To assure MCD100-M is configured properly as the Microsoft
Office Communicator 2007 speakerphone, follow these steps:
1Click the drop down arrow on the upper left corner.
2Select the “Tools” option
3Select “Set Up Audio and Video…”
The Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 Audio and Video wizard
will now guide you through 3 setup steps:
A) In step A you will set the Handset or Headset you want to use.
If MCD100-M is the only Microsoft Office Communicator 2007
device connected to your PC, make sure MCD100-M is selected
in the drop down menu, or, make sure the headset or handset
you wish to use is selected. Click Next.

B) In step B, you will set the Speakerphone you want to use.
Make sure the Speakerphone is set for MCD100-M by default.
If it is not, select then select MCD100-M in the drop down lists
under Speaker and Microphone. Click Next.
At this point you may click Test to play a tone through the
MCD100-M speaker and adjust the speaker volume. For
Windows XP the speaker slider will not adjust the volume
on MCD100-M (because of how MCD100-M is required to
enumerate to meet Microsoft Office Communicator 2007
Certification requirements) so the volume must be adjusted using
the MCD100-M controls on the unit. The microphone can also
be adjusted at this point using the slider. Both sliders operate
correctly with Windows Vista.
C) In step C, you will set the audio output location for your
Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 program sounds. It is
recommended that you use your PC speakers for this setting if
you have a sound card and speakers available because system
sounds can be distracting when played through MCD100-M
during a call.
NOTE This step only controls Microsoft Office Communicator
2007 system sounds. Windows system sounds must be
managed through “Sounds and Audio Devices” in Control Panel.
To make any further adjustments to Windows audio, do the
following:
For Windows XP, click on the following: “Start”, “Settings”,
“Control Panel”, and select “Sound and Audio Devices”. From
there select the audio tab and make any further adjustments to
MCD100-M settings for Sound Playback (speaker) or Sound
Recording (Microphone).

For Windows Vista, click on the following: “Start”, “Control
Panel”, “Hardware and Sound”, “Sound – Manage Audio
Devices”. From there select the Playback tab and make any
further adjustments to MCD100-M (speaker) settings. Then select
the Recording tab and make any further adjustments to the
MCD100-M (microphone) settings.

3Using Your MCD100-M USB Speakerphone
Volume Up, Volume Down, and Mute

speaker volume.

volume down button is pressed and a series of beeps when a
prolonged press is performed. Each beep signals one level of
volume increase or decrease.
3 Press the microphone icon (middle button) to mute
the microphone. A blue light will flash indicating that the
microphone is muted.
4 Press this button again to unmute. The blue light will
become solid indicating the microphone is unmuted.
