Cautionar y Notes to Computer Users

When using any headset with a computer, care should be taken in dry or low humidity environments to protect the user from

electrostatic discharge from the monitor (CRT). Computer monitors can induce a substantial electrostatic charge when turned onor off, or

when there is a power failure, and the resulting electrostatic dischargecan be passed throughthe headset to ground.

A user in close proximity to or touching the computer may feela common “shock” sensation, similar to touching a doorknob after

walking across a carpet, causingno harm to the user. Thisdischarge is entirely due to the computer monitor; the headset is merely the

shortest path to ground.

To minimize the possibility of electrostatic discharge through the headset,youcan:

• Use a grounded screen in front of the monitor.

• Use static dissipative wrist straps.

• Increase the relative humidity in the room to 60% or more.

• Install static dissipative carpets or floor coverings (anti-staticsprays can be helpful).

• Removethe headset before turning the computer on or off.
