may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the require-ment that the sum of the ringe equivalence numbers of all the devicesdoes not exceed 5.Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representativedesignated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the userto this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the tele-communications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical groundconnections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallicwater pipe system, if present, are connected together.

Caution: Users should NOTattempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact theappropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.Cautionary Notes to Computer Users:When using any headset with a computer, care should be taken in dry orlow humidity environments to protect the user from electrostatic dis-charge from the monitor (CRT). Computer monitors can induce a sub-stantial electrostatic charge when turned on or off, or when there is apower failure, and the resulting electrostatic discharge can be passedthrough the headset to ground. A user in close proximity to or touchingthe computer may feel a common “shock” sensation, similar to touchinga door knob after walking across a carpet, causing no harm to the user.This discharge is entirely due to the computer monitor, the headset ismerely 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 covering.• Remove the headset before turning the computer on or off.GN Netcom products meet OSHA, FCC and CSA standards.USA / Canada Warranty Limited WarrantyGN Netcom warrants to the original consumer purchaser that, except forthe limitations and exclusions set forth below, the product shall be freefrom defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one (1) yearfrom the date of original retail purchase (“Warranty Period”).

La réparation des équipements homologués devra être coordonnée parun représentant désigné par le fournisseur. Toute réparation ou dégrada-tion de l'équipement par l'utilisateur, ou tout dysfonctionnement de l'é-quipement, pourront justifier une demande de déconnexion de l'équipe-ment par l'opérateur de télécommunication.Pour sa propre sécurité, l'utilisateur doit s'assurer que les systèmes demise à la terre de l'installation électrique, des lignes téléphoniques et duréseau de canalisations interne du bâtiment, le cas échéant, sont raccor-dés les uns aux autres. Cette précaution peut se révéler particulièrementimportante dans les zones rurales. Attention: l'utilisateur NE DOIT PAStenter d'effectuer lui-même de tels raccordements. Il doit contacter lesservices de contrôle électrique compétents ou un électricien, selon lecas.Note de mise en garde aux utilisateurs d'ordinateursEn cas d'utilisation d'un micro-casque avec un ordinateur dans un envi-ronnement sec ou faiblement humide, il est important de protéger l'utili-sateur contre les décharges électrostatiques provenant de l'écran (CRT).En effet, les écrans d'ordinateur peuvent produire une charge électrosta-tique importante lors de leur mise sous/hors tension ou en cas de cou-pure de courant et la décharge électrostatique qui en résulte peut êtretransmise à la terre par l'intermédiaire du micro-casque. Un utilisateursitué dans le voisinage immédiat ou au contact de l'ordinateur pourraéprouver une sensation de “choc” semblable à celle ressentie en tou-chant une poignée de porte métallique après avoir marché sur une mo-quette. Toutefois, ce phénomène n'est pas dangereux pour l'utilisateur. Cette décharge est entièrement due à l'écran de l'ordinateur. Le micro-casque constitue simplement le chemin le plus rapide vers la terre.Pour minimiser les risques de transmission des décharges électrosta-tiques par le micro-casque, vous pouvez:• Installer un blindage mis à la terre devant l'écran de l'ordinateur.• Utiliser des bracelets antistatiques.• Maintenir dans la pièce une humidité relative supérieure ou égale à60%.• Installer des tapis/moquettes ou revêtements de sol antistatiques.• Retirer le micro-casque avant d'allumer/éteindre l'ordinateur.Les produits GN Netcom sont conformes à l'ensemble des normes OSHA,FCC et CSA.Garantie pour les États-Unis/le CanadaGarantie limitéeGN Netcom garantit à l'acheteur-utilisateur initial que, à l'exception desrestrictions et des exclusions exposées ci-dessous, le produit est exemptde défauts de matériaux et de fabrication pour une période de un (1) anà compter de la date d'achat chez un détaillant ("Période de garantie").Les obligations de GN Netcom au titre de cette garantie sont limitées àla réparation ou au remplacement, aux frais de GN Netcom et à son gré,de toute pièce ou élément défectueux en termes de matériel ou de fabri-cation pendant la période de garantie, sous réserve que le produit soitretourné à GN Netcom, à l'adresse indiquée dans la rubrique "Commentfaire réparer votre appareil sous garantie".
