Headsets

mates to the Quick Disconnect jack on the device. Disconnecting at the Quick Disconnect allows you to walk away from your
computer without removing your headset.
13 Before using your headset, join the Quick Disconnect to the mating connector on the GN 8110 USB.
Testing
14 To test that the speaker volume in your headset is working and set at a comfortable level, click once on the speaker
icon in the system tray. Click on the volume adjustment slider for a system sound. Adjust the volume to a level that is
comfortable for you. The Multimedia Properties window allows you to make advanced adjustments; go to the Volume
Controls section of this manual.
To test the microphone, use the sound recording utility that comes with Windows.
Go to Start/Programs/Accessories/Entertainment/Sound Recorder.
15 Position the microphone approximately one finger width away from your lower lip.
16 Click the red Record button and record a voice file. Click the Stop button when you are done. Replay the file by clicking
the Play button. If you hear your voice, recording is successful and the microphone is working properly.
If you cannot hear your voice, go to the Frequently Asked Questions section of this manual.
Warning!
Although GN Netcom professional headsets have built-in hearing protection, computers are capable of generating
extremely loud sound bursts such as modem connections. Always check the volume level before putting on the headset.
Volume Controls
17 The volume for both the speaker and microphone are controlled by software. Go to Start/Settings/Control Panel to access
the Control Panel window. Double click on the Multimedia icon to bring up the Multimedia Properties window.
