P139-HD  Audio System User Manual 

GA063-3 Rev G  08/25/2015 

Page 20 of 35 

Headset Impedance: Sets the expected impedance of 

the earphone between 150Ω and 600Ω. When set 

to Track, the audio system will attempt to measure the earphone impedance, and set the output to 150Ω 
or 600Ω, whichever is closest. 

When a setting is changed, the web page updates the hardware with the new setting. While this is 
happening the website will prevent further changes (Figure 7). 

Note: If the “Updating Hardware” hardware 

message appears for more than 10 seconds, the update has failed. Close your web browser and power 
cycle the P139-HD to restart configuration. Any changes that were made but not saved to the MMC in the 
last session will be lost. See Section 9.9 for more information.
