2. Important Safety Information
2.1Read the Safety Booklet
WARNING!: Your headset includes a Warning & Declaration guide. Do not attempt to assemble or use your headset before you have thoroughly read and understood the Warning & Declaration booklet. If you did not receive the booklet, please contact your Jabra representative before continuing.
2.2Protecting your Hearing with SafeTone™
WARNING!: Because a headset is held firmly against your ear, sudden, loud sounds pose a potential hearing risk. Furthermore, the more you use your headset each day, the lower the maximum volume must be to protect against eventual hearing loss. Jabra PRO headsets provide effective measures that protect you against both of these types of dangers (see below).
SafeTone™ consists of two components — PeakStop™ and Intellitone™:
-PeakStop™
Your Jabra PRO headset automatically suppresses sudden loud sounds (over 118dB(A)), thereby protecting your ears from acoustic shock. This system is called PeakStop™, which is only available from Jabra.
-Intellitone™ Noise-Exposure Protection
Jabra PRO headsets offer a choice of four protection levels (all of which also include the standard PeakStop™ protection described above). These features protect your hearing by preventing acoustic shocks and limiting the maximum noise exposure from the headset during your workday to 85dB(A). This system is called IntelliTone™, which is only available from Jabra.
The table below summarizes the protection levels available.
Protection level | Criteria for selecting |
|
|
Level 0 | Basic protection against sound spikes [118 dB(A)]; auto volume disabled |
|
|
Level 1* | Less than 4 hours on telephone/day |

Level 2* | |
|
|
Level 3* | More than 8 hours on telephone/day |

Level 4 (TT4) | Recommended Australian protection level (Telstra) |

It is possible to lock the IntelliTone™ setting.
For details about how to configure IntelliTone™ for your headset, please see one of the following:
-To set the IntelliTone™ level using the touchscreen, please see Section 8.8: Setting General User Preferences.
-To set the IntelliTone™ level using Jabra Control Center on your PC, please see the Jabra PC Suite online help.
-To set a password and lock or unlock the IntelliTone™ settings, use the Jabra Control Center on your PC; please see the Jabra PC Suite online help.
Important: Check your local laws or regulations to find out whether a specific protection level is mandated in your area. Note also that your headset settings do not affect the sound level of your desk phone handset, so you may be receiving less protection when using the handset.
