FreQuently Asked Questions
Q When specifying range, hoW do you define “typical

“normal”, “loW” or “very loW”. When do i use these
settings?
office environment”?
A There is no rigid or scientific definition of this term. Office
environments differ substantially throughout the world
(private offices, cubicles, large/small locations, etc.). The
specification is meant as a “guideline” to provide the user
with information he/she can relate to.
A Most users will keep their GN9350e on “normal”. This gives
them the maximum range of the unit. However, if your
telephone is poorly shielded, it could be vulnerable to the
radio frequencies transmitted by the GN9350e, leading to
noise in the signal. If moving the GN9350e base away from
the telephone does not help, a lower power setting – “low”
or “very low” – might be a solution.
Q What does “Wideband audio” mean?
A The GN9350e operates with a 6.8 kHz bandwidth optimized
for IP telephony. This secures a better audio quality than
previously known from conventional telephony (also known
as “narrowband”) – especially consonants like “s” and “f” are
easily understood on wideband connections compared to
narrowband connections.
Smart Power Management ensures that the output power
from the headset is not higher than required for the voice
transmission between headset and base.
Q What is the advantage of a “noise-canceling

microphone”?
A The GN9350e will incorporate DSP (digital signal processing)
A The noise-canceling microphone of the GN9350e, the
GN9330e and the GN9330e USB filters out unwanted
background noise and thereby ensures that the user’s voice
is transmitted clearly even when working in noisy open-office
software which:
- enhances the incoming signal and removes sound impurities
from e.g. noisy environments or mobile phones;
- incorporates an auto-volume setting whereby the GN9350e
monitors and automatically adjusts the volume of all
incoming calls, so users hear each call at the same
consistent level.
environments. The closer to the mouth, the greater the
noise-canceling effect.
Q What does “usb for ip telephony/softphone” mean?
A GN Netcom partners with leading IP telephony/VoIP vendors
to have the GN9350e provide a fully integrated communica-
tion interface to their IP products… including softphones.

FreQuently Asked Questions
Q i have a Wifi netWork. can Wifi and the gn9350e/
gn9330e usb/gn9330e coexist in the same location?
Q can the product cause allergic reactions?
A The headband is made of stainless steel which does not have
a nickel coated surface. The stainless steel alloy has been
tested for nickel release in accordance with the European
standard EN 1811:1998 (according to EU Directive 94/27/EF,
A Yes they can, and there will not be any interference. The
GN9300e series operate in different frequency bands than
WiFi equipment/Wireless LANs. In North America, the
GN9300e series utilize the newly opened DECT frequency
band (1920-1930 MHz), while other countries have the DECT
band at 1880–1900 MHz. These DECT bands are not used
for WiFi equipment, Wireless LANs etc., as they typically
operate in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz frequency bands.
the nickel release must be below 0.50 gram/cm2 /week). The
headband nickel release is well below the EN1811 limit. The
leatherette ear cushion does not contain vinyl or latex. The
GN9350e/GN9330e USB/GN9330e does not contain PVC.
Q is it possible to listen in to conversations made With
gn9350e/gn9330e usb/gn9330e Wireless headsets?
Q can i get hearing damages, using the headset?
A All GN Netcom products meet the highest user protection
standards, with sophisticated sound limiting systems to
protect the user against excessive sound levels. GN Netcom
specifies for headsets that the maximum sound pressure
must be below 118 dB SPL, which is approved by
A The risk of unauthorized access to DECT voice calls is
extremely limited. Just like GN Netcom’s other wireless
headsets, the GN9350e and GN9330e digitally encrypt any
call, providing complete calling security and confidence
(part of the DECT standard). For in-depth information on how
this is performed, please refer to separate whitepaper from
GN Netcom on security encryption within the DECT standard.
international standards and by telecom administrations. This
means all our headsets have incorporated protection circuits.
All GN Netcom headsets that are connected directly to the
phone or through an analog amplifier are fitted with Peak-
Stop™, an electronic peak control gateway (transistor) that
does not allow excessively loud sounds to pass to the ear. It
reacts when the sound enters the cord and removes
potentially harmful sound peaks before they reach the
headset speaker. PeakStop actively protects the user by
keeping the absolute sound level and the energy of the peak
in the safe zone at all times. As a result, the headset user will
never be exposed to the full effect of an excessive peak and
consequently the risk of harming the sensitive mechanisms
of the ear is minimized.
Q is radiation from a gn9350e/gn9330e usb/gn9330e
Wireless headset dangerous?
A The GN9350e/GN9330e USB/GN9330e operate using radio
signals in the frequency band from 1880 to 1900 MHz and
in the band from 1920 to 1930 MHz, using the DECT protocol
for transmission between headset and base. The radiowave
exposure of these products is between 0.01 and 63 milliwatts
and well below national standards. More information is
available in a separate whitepaper on radiation and on
Q What additional protection does the intellitone™
(automatic noise exposure level control) of the
gn9350e give the user?
A With this feature, you can let the headset automatically
ensure that you are not exposed to a higher noise level from
the headset during your workday than described in the EU
Directive 2003/10/EC or the TT4 threshold used in Australia.
This level is set via the display of the GN9350e, while users
of the GN9330e or other wireless headsets will have to find
other means to monitor the level of noise exposure. Please
refer to separate whitepaper for further details.

Jabra GN9330e USB
FreQuently Asked Questions
Q a version of the gn9350e and gn9330e usb is labeled
“ms oc” – What is that?
A These wireless headsets are certified to work with the
Microsoft Office Communicator, which uses a different USB
command set than other soft phones.
Q can i use a gn9300e ms oc product With a different
softphone (such as skype, cisco etc.)?
A It will work – but you will lose the ability of remote taking
and ending calls (=“RCC”, Remote Call Control), as the
command set for Skype (and other softphones) is different
than for MS OC.
Q can i use a gn9350e or gn9300e usb (standard version)
product With a ms oc?
A It will also work – but you again will lose the ability of
remote taking and ending calls (= “RCC”), as the standard
version contains a different USB command set than required
for MS OC.
Q does my softphone support the rcc functionality
from gn9300e?
Q my softphone is not listed in the compatibility
matrix at WWW.jabra.com – does this means that
i cannot use my gn9350e or gn9330e usb With this
softphone?
A It means, that your softphone does not give you the RCC
functionality. You will have to take/end calls on your PC,
as the softphone is not able to interpret the button
functionality on the headset.
