ORATOR-G
User Guide
Orator-G Wearing
Position the headset lightly on your head (see Figure 3). The click-stop
headband lengthens and shortens to the desired length for a custom fit (pull to
lengthen, push to shorten). The headband retains its length and will not need
adjusting each time it is put on. The stabilizer cushion rests just above the ear
on the side of your head opposite the receiver.
To move the microphone and boom aside without removing your headset, for
example to take a sip of coffee, use your finger to swing the boom back and
forth.
Refer to the Microphone Positioning section for additional information.

Changing Ears
To accommodate left or right ear wearing styles, bend the microphone boom at
the hinge beneath the receiver (see Figure 4). Do not force the microphone
boom beyond the built in stops!

Microphone Positioning
To take advantage of the noise canceling qualities of the microphone, position
the Orator-G headset with the flat side of the microphone, marked with an F,
facing you. The microphone boom should be adjusted so that the microphone
is approximately one finger width away from your lower lip (see Figure 5).
The Orator-G has a flexible boom that can be reshaped until the microphone is
correctly positioned in front of your mouth. One hand should grasp and steady
the receiver end of the boom. The other hand can then flex the boom (see
Figure 6).

CAUTION: Never forcefully rotate the microphone boom past its stop point in
the receiver assembly!

Clothing Clip
The clothing clip should be fastened for comfortable wearing (see Figure 7).
It is designed to prevent the weight of the cord from dislodging the headset.
Position the clip conveniently on your clothing. To reduce excess slack,
reposition the clip by sliding it up and down the cord.

Connecting to Your Telephone
An amplifier is often needed to connect the headset to the telephone or
telephone system. For these applications, the headset is equipped with a Quick
Disconnect plug which mates to a Quick Disconnect jack on the amplifier.
Follow the instructions supplied with the amplifier to connect the headset and
amplifier to your telephone or telephone system (see Figure 8).
Some telephones do not require amplification. For these applications the
headset is equipped with a cable with a modular plug on the end. The
modular connector plugs directly into a headset port (modular jack) on the
telephone or console. The modular plug cable also has a mated Quick
Disconnect assembly (see Figure 9).

Amplified Configuration
Disconnecting at the Quick Disconnect allows you to move around without
having to remove your headset. If you are on a call, disconnecting at the Quick
Disconnect effectively puts the other party on hold until you return.
Maintenance
The foam covers on the receiver and microphone can be washed in mild soap
and water. Replacement covers are available from your GN Netcom distributor.

Cautionary Notes to Com puter Users
When using any headset with a computer, care should be taken in dry or low humidity environments to protect the user from
electrostatic discharge from the monitor (CRT). Computer monitors can induce a substantial electrostatic charge when turned on or off, or
when there is a power failure, and the resulting electrostatic discharge can be passed through the headset to ground.
A user in close proximity to or touching the computer may feel a common “shock” sensation, similar to touching a doorknob after
walking across a carpet, causing no harm to the user. This discharge is entirely due to the computer monitor; the headset is merely the
shortest path to ground.
To minimize the possibility of electrostatic discharge through the headset, you can:
•
•
•
•
•
Use a grounded screen in front of the monitor.
Use static dissipative wrist straps.
Increase the relative humidity in the room to 60% or more.
Install static dissipative carpets or floor coverings (anti-static sprays can be helpful).
Remove the headset before turning the computer on or off.
GN Netcom, Inc. Profile headsets meet all OSHA, UL, FCC and CSA standards.
FCC Notice to Users
Upon request only, you must notify your telephone utility company (telco) of your intention to install or permanently remove an FCC
Part 68 registered device or system. Include the FCC Registration Number and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) located on the
amplifier label.
The telco has the right to make changes to their network, which may affect the operation of your equipment, provided you are given
adequate advance written notice to permit correct operation.
