FCC REQUIREMENTS FOR TELEPHONE-LINE EQUIPMENT  
1. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has established rules which permit this device to be  
directly connected to the telephone network with standardized jacks. This equipment should not be  
used on party lines or coin lines.  
2. If this device is malfunctioning, it may also be causing harm to the telephone network; this device  
should be disconnected until the source of the problem can be determined and until the repair has  
been made. If this is not done, the telephone company may temporarily disconnect service.  
3. If you have problems with your telephone equipment after installing this device, disconnect this device  
from the line to see if it is causing the problem. If it is, contact your supplier or an authorized agent.  
4. The telephone company may make changes in its technical operations and procedures. If any such  
changes affect the compatibility or use of this device, the telephone company is required to give  
adequate notice of the changes.  
5. If the telephone company requests information on what equipment is connected to their lines, inform  
them of:  
a. The telephone number that this unit is connected to.  
b. The ringer equivalence number.  
c. The USOC jack required: RJ-11C.  
d. The FCC registration number.

CDC STATEMENT  
Items (b) and (d) can be found on the unit’s FCC label. The ringer equivalence number (REN) is used  
to determine how many devices can be connected to your telephone line. In most areas, the sum of the  
RENs of all devices on any one line should not exceed five (5.0). If too many devices are attached, they  
may not ring properly.  
6. In the event of an equipment malfunction, all repairs should be performed by your supplier or an  
authorized agent. It is the responsibility of users requiring service to report the need for service to the  
supplier or to an authorized agent.  
CERTIFICATION NOTICE FOR EQUIPMENT USED IN CANADA  
The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified equipment. This certification means  
that the equipment meets certain telecommunications-network protective, operation, and safety  
requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.  
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of  
the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of  
connection. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a single-line individual service may be  
extended by means of a certified connector assembly (extension cord). The customer should be aware that  
compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.  
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility—in this case,  
your supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions,  
may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.  
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility,  
telephone lines, and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution  
may be particularly important in rural areas.

CAUTION:  
Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority,  
or electrician, as appropriate.  
The LOAD NUMBER (LN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the percentage of the total load to be  
connected to a telephone loop which is used by the device, to prevent overloading. The termination on a  
loop may consist of any combination of devices, subject only to the requirement that the total of the load  
numbers of all the devices does not exceed 100.

return.  
7. Connecting to  
Your Telephone  
An amplifier is needed to connect  
the headset to the telephone or  
telephone system. The headset is  
equipped with a Quick Disconnect  
plug which mates to a Quick  
Disconnect jack on the amplifier.  
Follow the instructions supplied  
with the amplifier to connect the  
headset and amplifier to your  
telephone or telephone system  
(see Figure 7-1).

2-IN-1 HEADSET  
A user in close proximity to or  
touching the computer may feel a  
common “shock” sensation,  
similar to touching a doorknob  
after walking across a carpet,  
causing no harm to the user. This  
discharge is entirely due to the  
computer monitor; the headset is  
merely the shortest path to  
ground.  
• Install static-dissipative  
carpets or floor coverings  
(anti-static sprays can be  
helpful).  
8. Maintenance  
The foam covers on the receiver  
and microphone can be washed in  
mild soap and water. Replacement  
covers are available from Black  
Box. Call 724-746-5500 for details.  
• Remove the headset before  
turning the computer on or  
off.  
Cautionary 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  
The 2-in-1 Headsets meet all  
OSHA, UL, FCC and CSA  
standards.  
To minimize the possibility of  
electrostatic discharge through  
the headset, you can:  
• Use a grounded screen in  
front of the monitor.  
electrostatic discharge from the  
monitor (CRT). Computer  
monitors can induce a substantial  
electrostatic charge when turned  
on or off, or when there is a  
power failure, and the resulting  
electrostatic discharge can be  
passed through the headset to  
ground.  
• Use static-dissipative wrist  
straps.  
• Increase the relative  
humidity in the room to  
60% or more.
