When the person hears no Figure 8 difference when you talk into the handset or headset, you have the correct setting. If the best setting is 7 or 8, move the A-G switch to position G (see Figure 8).

Ellipse manual final 5/26/99 9:55 AM Page 6 Using with a headset 1) Make sure the headset/handset switch on top of the base unit is in the headset position (see Figure 6, I + II). Put on headset, pick up handset, and answer the phone or make a call. 2) To end the call, put down handset. 3) When you answer or make a call using the headset, the on-line indicator on the base unit starts flashing. This means the base unit is communicating with the remote unit (see Figure 9). 4) To move away from your desk during the call, remove the remote unit from the Figure 9 base unit — and clip it to your belt or put in your pocket. You can now move freely up to 150 feet away from the base unit. If you move out of transmission range, Ellipse lets you know by means of a double beep in your headset every 10 seconds. Using with a handset 1) Make sure the headset/handset switch on top of the base unit is in the handset position (see Figure 6, I + II). 2) Pick up handset to answer phone or make a call as usual. 3) To end call, put down the handset. Figure 10 Using the pocket and belt clips 1) The remote unit ships with the pocket clip installed. To use, slide the wire clip behind the fabric of your pocket. 2) To use the belt clip, the wire pocket clip must be removed. While holding the remote face down, gently pull the wire clip from both sides (see Figure 10). 3) Slide the belt clip onto the back of the remote until it clicks into place (see Figure 11).

Muting the micr ophone To talk without the other party hearing you, press the mute button marked with the icon 6 on the front of the remote unit. When the microphone is muted, you will hear a double beep in your headset every 3 seconds. When the mute function is on, you can still hear the other party (see Figure 13). Figure 12 Recharging the battery To ensure optimum battery life, place the remote unit in the base unit when not in use. The recharging indicator on the base unit marked with the icon 5 automatically lights up while the battery is in the base. It takes 3 hours to fully recharge the battery. A fully charged battery provides 12 hours of talktime. If battery power gets too low, you’ll hear a beep in your headset every 10 seconds (see Figure 14). An optional second battery can charge in the base unit while the remote unit is in use, thus providing additional talktime. To replace the battery, depress the button on the back of the battery and pull. Figure 13 Figure 14 7

Ellipse manual final 5/26/99 9:55 AM Page 10 Cautionar y Notes to Computer Users When using any headset with a computer, care should be taken in dry or low humidity environments to protect the user from electrostatic discharge from the monitor (CRT). Computer monitors can induce a substantial electrostatic charge when turned on or off, or when there is a power failure, and the resulting electrostatic discharge can be passed through the headset to ground. A user in close proximity to or touching the computer may feel a common “shock” sensation, similar to touching a doorknob after walking across a carpet, causing no harm to the user. This discharge is entirely due to the computer monitor; the headset is merely the shortest path to ground. To minimize the possibility of electrostatic discharge through the headset, you can: • Use a grounded screen in front of the monitor. • Use static dissipative wrist straps. • Increase the relative humidity in the room to 60% or more. • Install static dissipative carpets or floor coverings (anti-static sprays can be helpful). • Remove the headset before turning the computer on or off. GN Netcom, Inc. headsets meet all OSHA, UL, FCC and CSA standards.
