GN 9050 Beta User Manual12Cautionary Notes to Computer Users:When using any headset with a computer, care should be taken in dry or low humidityenvironments 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 passedthrough the headset to ground. A user in close proximity to or touching the computermay feel a common “shock” sensation, similar to touching a door knob after walkingacross a carpet, causing no harm to the user. This discharge is entirely due to thecomputer 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 covering.• Remove the headset before turning the computer on or off.GN Netcom, Inc. products meet all OSHA, UL, FCC and CSA standards.FCC Notice to Users:The equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digitaldevice, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
