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. One hand should  
grasp and steady the receiver end of the boom. The other hand can then flex  
the boom (see Figure 12).

CAUTION: Never forcefully rotate the microphone boom past its stop point in  
the receiver assembly!

Clothing Clip  
The clothing clip should be fastened for comfortable wearing (see Figure 13).  
It is designed to prevent the weight of the cord from dislodging the headset.  
Position the clip conveniently on your clothing. To reduce excess slack,  
reposition the clip by sliding it up and down the cord.

Connecting toYourTelephone  
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. For these applications the  
headset is equipped with a cable with a modular plug on the end. The  
modular connector plugs directly into a headset port (modular jack) on the  
telephone or console. The modular plug cable also has a mated Quick  
Disconnect assembly (see Figure 15).

having to remove your headset. If you are on a call, disconnecting at the Quick  
Disconnect effectively puts the other party on hold until you return.  
Maintenance

and water. Replacement covers are available from your GN Netcom distributor.

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.  
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. Profile headsets meet all OSHA, UL, FCC and CSA standards.  
FCC Notice to Users  
Upon request only, you must notify your telephone utility company (telco) of your intention to install or permanently remove an FCC  
Part 68 registered device or system. Include the FCC Registration Number and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) located on the  
amplifier label.  
The telco has the right to make changes to their network, which may affect the operation of your equipment, provided you are given  
adequate advance written notice to permit correct operation.
