*The system will support both narrowband and wideband audio from the PC. Wideband audio delivers heightened speech clarity and life-
like fidelity. However, wideband audio consumes more battery power and has more stringent access criteria which reduces the number of
systems that can be deployed in a small area.
All PCs support wideband audio.
When switching between narrowband and wideband audio, you must re-establish the audio link for the changes to take effect.

and wireless headset without the user having to press the PC call
control button. If the parameter “Microsoft Office Communicator
Dial-tone Enabled” is selected, then every time a PC radio link is
established the Microsoft Office Communicator dial tone will be
heard. However, the user may have pressed the PC call control
button to listen to music, etc., and does not want to hear the dial-
tone. In this case, if the user selects the “Audio Sensing Enabled”
parameter, the radio link will be established automatically when
any PC audio is detected at the USB port, thus eliminating the
need for the user to press the PC call control button.
When this parameter is selected, the PC ringtone will be heard
on both the PC speaker as well as the headset.
When this parameter is not selected, the PC ringtone will only
be heard on either the headset or the PC speaker based on how
the PC audio has been set up.

PC Audio
The system will support both narrowband and wideband audio from the PC.
Narrowband
Bandwidth*
Wideband audio delivers heightened speech clarity and life-like fidelity. However, wideband audio
consumes more battery power and has more stringent access criteria which reduces the number of
systems that can be deployed in a small area.
All PCs support wideband audio.
When switching between narrowband and wideband audio, you must re-establish the audio link for the
changes to take effect.
* When bringing up a link from the base, the talk button will be solid yellow until a link is established. This could take up to several seconds
especially for wideband audio and/or when in moderate to high density environments. If you press the talk button when the indicator light is
yellow, it will terminate the search for an audio link.

Anti-Startle
Anti-startle provides advanced hearing protection against sudden loud sounds. When Anti-startle is
set to ON, the system identifies and eliminates sudden loud sounds and rapidly reduces them to a
comfortable level. When Anti-startle is set to OFF, the headset caps sound levels at 118 dBA to protect
your hearing.

G616**
G616 Acoustic Limiting provides additional hearing protection against acoustic shock. When G616
Acoustic Limiting is set to ON, the system provides additional acoustic shock protection. Sound
levels are limited to 102 dBA as recommended in the G616:2006 guideline issued by the Australian
Communications Industry Forum (ACIF). When G616 Audio-Limiting is set to OFF, the headset caps
sound levels at 118 dBA to protect your hearing.
Audio
Limiting**
Audio Limiting provides advanced hearing protection for daily noise exposure. When Audio-Limiting is
turned ON, the system monitors and controls sound to ensure action levels do not exceed 80 dBA or 85
dBA (whichever is selected) specified by current and imminent EU legislation. When Audio-Limiting is set
to OFF, the headset caps sound levels at 118 dBA to protect your hearing.
85 dB*
* Default setting in Australia and New Zealand will be Off or Not Selected.
** The noise monitoring and G616 limiting features are based on a typical headset and recommended acoustic coupling between the
headset and the ear. Please follow the instructions for optimal wearing position on page 8.
