Microphone Gain

The microphone gain of the local headset may need
to be adjusted for various audio conditions. The
talk/overmodulation (OM) LED should be green if
the local headset microphone has been activated.
This LED will turn red when Mic Gain is too high
and will need to be turned down. If the LED does
not flash red at all and the audio is low, the gain
may need to be turned up. The gain should be ad-
justed so the LED flashes red only on loudest
speech.
Using the plastic screwdriver (supplied), adjust the
control appropriately. Note that the volume heard
can also be adjusted by changing the spacing be-
tween the microphone and your mouth.
