Setup Guide

Follow these steps to set up your Plantronics H251-CD headset:

1. Identify Connection Port: Locate the appropriate audio input port on your device (e.g., telephone, computer sound card). The H251-CD supports Quick Disconnect, 3.5 mm, and 6.35 mm connections.
2. Connect Headset:
   • For Quick Disconnect: Align the Quick Disconnect connector on the headset cable with the corresponding port on your amplifier or adapter and push firmly until it clicks into place.
   • For 3.5 mm or 6.35 mm: If using an adapter (not included), connect the headset's Quick Disconnect to the adapter, then plug the 3.5 mm or 6.35 mm jack into your device's audio port.
3. Adjust Fit: Place the headset over your head so the ear muff covers one ear comfortably. Adjust the headband for a snug fit.
4. Position Microphone: Gently bend the boom microphone arm to position the voice tube approximately two finger-widths from the corner of your mouth. Ensure it is not directly in front of your mouth to avoid breath noises.

Operating Instructions

Once your headset is set up, you can begin using it for communication:

• Audio Reception: Sound will be delivered through the single ear muff. Adjust the volume on your connected device or amplifier as needed.
• Voice Transmission: Speak clearly into the voice tube microphone. The boom design ensures your voice is picked up effectively.
• Mute Function (if applicable): If your connected device or amplifier has a mute function, use it to temporarily disable the microphone. The H251-CD headset itself does not have an integrated mute control.
• Disconnecting: To disconnect the headset, firmly pull the Quick Disconnect connector apart. This allows you to step away from your desk without removing the headset from your head.

Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your Plantronics H251-CD headset:

• Cleaning:
  • Wipe the headset surfaces, including the ear muff and microphone, with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
  • For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid getting moisture into openings.
  • Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents.
• Storage: Store the headset in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Avoid tangling the cable.
• Handling: Always handle the headset by the ear muff or headband. Avoid pulling on the cable or microphone arm forcefully.
