Connecting headphones

You can connect mono or stereo headphones to the conference unit to listen to the floor channel. The headphone volume can be individually adjusted on the confer- ence unit.

Connect headphones with a 3.5 mm jack plug to the headphone socket .

Setting the headphone volume

CAUTION Hearing damage due to high volumes!

Listening at high volume levels for long periods can lead to perma- nent hearing defects.

Inform the conference participants about this fact.

Set the volume to a medium level.

Do not continuously expose yourself and other conference partic- ipants to high volumes.

Put the headphones on.

To set the volume:

Turn the headphone volume control

– to the right to increase the volume or

– to the left to reduce the volume.

At switch-off, the headphone volume is reset to a medium level.

The volume of the conference units’ loudspeakers can be set via the central unit (see page 48).

Operating a chairman unit

Beside the chairman functions, chairman units offer the same functions as dele- gate units (see page 45).

With a chairman unit, you can take the floor at any time.

If your conference system comprises several chairman units, all chairman units have equal rights.
