*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.

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.

Wideband  
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.  
Off

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.  
Off  
*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.
