Using your headset

Wearing the headset

1 To adjust the headband, lengthen or shorten the band until it ﬁts comfortably. Position the

headset receivers so that the cushions sit comfortably over the centre of your ears.

2 For the C710 headset, position the stabiliser T-bar above your ear.

3 Once the headset is positioned on your head, adjust the ﬂexible boom so the tip of the boom

points to the corner of your mouth. The boom can be shaped to follow the curvature of your

face.

NOTE The headset is designed for the boom to be worn on the left side of your face. To wear the

headset so the boom is on the right side, rotate the microphone boom upwards until it aligns with

the right corner of your mouth. Left and right audio channels will be switched.

Connect headset to PC

1 Connect the USB cable to the PC and the inline controller.

The ﬁrst time you connect your headset to the PC, the mobile talk button on the headset will

ﬂash red and blue indicating the initial pairing process of your mobile phone.

NOTE If you do not want to pair your mobile phone now, press and hold the mobile talk button

more than ﬁve seconds to power off the bluetooth radio. The LED will turn solid red for two seconds.
