My Devices

 displays all of the devices that you have configured for use with your CHAt 170. this screen allows you to 

easily switch between settings for your listed devices, including any saved custom configurations, if you have created 
custom audio settings for your device (see 

Advanced Settings: Database

 later in this chapter for more information on 

saving custom settings).

Select the device you wish to use with your CHAt 170, and click the 

Apply to CHAT

 button to apply the audio settings 

to your CHAt 170.
to remove a device from your list of 

My Devices

, select the device from the list and click the

 button. Note that this only removes the device from the

 list. It does not remove it from the device

 section later in this chapter for more information.)

oPtimizing sound QualitY

for optimal sound quality, you must adjust the CHAt 170’s audio settings for each device and application you will be 
using as described in the procedures below.

>  NOTE

: the volume settings in the CHAt software are synchronized with the windows volume settings. 

Changing  the  volume  using  the  CHAt  software  or  the  buttons  on  the  CHAt  170  also  changes  the 
volume settings in windows. Conversely, changing the volume settings in windows will change the set-
tings in the CHAt software.

Using with Pre-Defined Device Settings

the pre-defined device settings available in the CHAt application will provide good sound quality for many of the most 
popular devices used with the CHAt 170. If you used the procedure in the previous section to configure the CHAt 170’s 
settings for one of these devices, test the sound quality before performing any additional tuning. If you are satisfied with 
the sound quality, no further adjustments are necessary.

Applying Audio Settings to the CHAT 170

Select the device you wish to use with the CHAt 170, then click the 

Apply to CHAT

 button to apply the custom audio 

settings.
