*The system will support both narrowband and wideband audio from the PC. Wideband audio delivers heightened speech clarity and life-
like fidelity. However, wideband audio consumes more battery power and has more stringent access criteria which reduces the number of
systems that can be deployed in a small area.
All PCs support wideband audio.
When switching between narrowband and wideband audio, you must re-establish the audio link for the changes to take effect.

Dial-tone Enabled” is selected, then every time a PC radio link is
established the Microsoft Office Communicator dial tone will be
heard. However, the user may have pressed the PC call control
button to listen to music, etc., and does not want to hear the dial-

consumes more battery power and has more stringent access criteria which reduces the number of
systems that can be deployed in a small area.
All PCs support wideband audio.
When switching between narrowband and wideband audio, you must re-establish the audio link for the

sound levels at 118 dBA to protect your hearing.
Audio Limiting* Audio Limiting provides advanced hearing protection for daily noise exposure. When Audio-Limiting is
turned ON, the system monitors and controls sound to ensure action levels do not exceed 80 dBA or 85
dBA (whichever is selected) specified by current and imminent EU legislation. When Audio-Limiting is set
to OFF, the headset caps sound levels at 118 dBA to protect your hearing.
