HS-1976 Behind-the-Head Headset with Boom Microphone
Your RadioShack HS-1976 Behind-the-Head Headset
with Boom Microphone gives you portable, convenient
communication. Using the ultra-light headset while you
make and receive calls, you can keep your hands free to
do other things. The headset connects easily to many
cordless or cellular phones that have a
jack.
Your headset includes these features:
Reversible Ear Piece — lets you wear the headset over
either ear.
Swivel Ear Hanger — suitable for left-handed or right-
handed.
Flexible Microphone Boom — lets you adjust the micro-
phone's position so callers can hear you more clearly.
Lapel Clip — lets you securely anchor the headset's
modular cord to your clothing to prevent the headset from
slipping.
Ear Muff — reduces ambient sound and provides a com-
fortable listening experience and can be easily replace-
able for hygiene purposes.
Microphone Sponge — minimize the wind sound while
you talk to the microphone and can be easily replaceable
for hygiene purposes.
Hearing-Aid Compatible — lets you use the headset
with telephone designed to work with hearing aids that
have a T (telephone) switch.

CONNECTING THE HEADSET

ADJUSTING THE HEADSET

1. Place the headset over either ear as shown.
2. Hold the headset in place and adjust the microphone
boom until it is about even with your chin. Experiment
until you find the most comfortable position.
3. Attach the cord's lapel clip to your clothing. Leave
enough slack in the cord so you can move your head
without pulling the headset.
4. Adjust the sound source's volume to a required level.
Listening Safely
To protect your hearing, follow these guidelines when you
use the headset.
• Set the phone's volume to the lowest setting before
you begin listening. After you begin listening, adjust
the volume to a comfortable level.
• Do not listen at extremely high volume levels.
Extended high- volume listening can lead to perma-
nent hearing loss.
• Once you set the volume, do not increase it. Over
time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so a vol-
ume level that does not cause discomfort might still
damage your hearing.
