5 Using Sound on Your PC
How to Use the Headset
When the telephone line and headset are connected, you are ready to use the communications software. The software
can be accessed from the HP communication center. For further information concerning the communications software,
refer to the documentation
Communications .
Volume Control
The volume for the headset can be controlled either by using the communications software (audio mixer and telephony
applications) or by using the enhanced keyboard. Whichever method you use, the volume adjustment is automatically
made to the other.
Communications Software
To obtain the best audio quality for yourself and the caller, it is recommended that you configure the audio mixer and
telephony applications.
If you are listening to a CD-ROM when you receive a telephone call, another feature automatically puts your CD-ROM on
Mute while you have your conversation. When finished, the CD-ROM volume automatically returns to its initial setting.
Warning
To avoid discomfort from unexpected noise or static, always turn down the volume before connecting the
headphones or speakers to your computer. Whenever you wish to use the headphones, first place them around your
neck and check that the volume is turned down. Then, put on the headphones and slowly increase the volume by
using the Audio Mixer Applet or the enhanced keyboard until you find a comfortable listening level, where the sound
is clear, without being too loud. Listening to loud sounds for prolonged periods of time may permanently damage your
hearing.
