Wearing the Headset

  1. Select the ear tip size that provides the most comfortable and secure fit for your ear. Gently attach it to the headset's earpiece.
  2. Position the headset so the earpiece sits comfortably in your ear. The ear hook should rest securely behind your ear.
  3. Adjust the microphone boom so that the microphone is positioned approximately 1-2 cm from the corner of your mouth for optimal voice pickup. The microphone features noise cancellation, so precise positioning is key for clear outgoing audio.

Operating Instructions

Making and Receiving Calls

Once connected, your EAR200 headset will function as your primary audio device for calls. Use your phone's or computer's interface to dial numbers, answer incoming calls, and end calls. The headset provides clear digital sound for both incoming and outgoing audio.

Microphone Adjustment

The EAR200 features a noise-cancelling microphone. For optimal performance, ensure the microphone is positioned close to your mouth (approx. 1-2 cm) and aligned with the corner of your mouth. This helps to isolate your voice and reduce background noise for the listener.

  • Storage: When not in use, store the headset in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid tangling the cable.
