Rotate 180° clockwise if you are going from right ear to left ear, counterclockwise if you are going from left ear to right ear. Figure 4 Changing Ears Removal 1. Remove the ear cushion. 2.

Headband The Stratus Ultra-G headset can also be equipped with a lightweight flexible headband. Installation 1. Remove the ear capsule. 2. With the corded side of the receiver facing you, hold the headset in your left hand between your thumb and index finger with the boom pointing to the right. 3. With your right hand, hold the headband so that the C-ring opening is facing towards the receiver (see Figure 7). 4.
Changing Ears To accommodate left or right ear wearing styles, rotate the entire speaker housing under the headband 180° (see Figure 9). Figure 9 Changing Ears Headband Wearing Position the headset lightly on your head (see Figure 10). The Stratus Ultra-G headband is extremely lightweight, ensuring a comfortable fit that lasts all day. The stabilizer cushion rests just above the ear on the side of your head opposite the receiver. Refer to the Microphone Positioning section for additional information.
Microphone Positioning To take advantage of the noise canceling qualities of the microphone, position the Stratus Ultra-G headset with the flat side of the microphone, marked with an F, facing you. The microphone boom should be adjusted so that the microphone is approximately one finger width away from your lower lip (see Figure 11). The Stratus Ultra-G has a flexible boom that can be reshaped until the microphone is correctly positioned in front of your mouth.
Connecting to Your Telephone An amplifier is often needed to connect the headset to the telephone or telephone system. For these applications, the headset is equipped with a Quick Disconnect plug which mates to a Quick Disconnect jack on the amplifier. Follow the instructions supplied with the amplifier to connect the headset and amplifier to your telephone or telephone system (see Figure 14). Some telephones do not require amplification.
Cautionary 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.
