Computer monitors can induce a substantial electrostatic charge when turned on or off, or when there is a power failure, and theresulting 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. headsets meet all OSHA, UL, FCC and CS standards.Safety Instructions• Never try to dismantle the product yourself. None of the internal components can be repaired by users.• Do not expose the headset to rain or other liquids.• The headset is equipped with a rechargeable NiMH battery (nickel-metal-hydride). For battery replacement, please contact your distributor or reseller.54-???? Activa2.4 7/14/00 4:01 PM Page 4
