CONFIGURING YOUR CHAT 160

This section describes how you configure your CHAT 160 for the specific devices you are connecting to. The
CHAT software contains a database of pre-configured device settings that allows you to instantly select and
apply optimal settings for supported devices.

If the specific device you are using with the CHAT 160 is not listed in the database, you can create a custom
device by following the instructions described later in this chapter.

1  Using the included USB cable, connect the CHAT 160 to your PC or laptop. The blue LED indicators on

the CHAT 160 illuminate, indicating that the CHAT 160 is powered and ready for use.
