3. Volume Level
Set the volume by turning the Volume Knob (D). Do not force the knob. Turn UP
towards the Sound-Head Cap for a higher volume. Turn DOWN towards the battery
cap to reduce.
All the way DOWN is OFF, which is handy when you do not want to accidentally
activate the device.
4. Adjusting Tone
• The Tone Adjustment Knob (K) is located to the left of the Power Button.
• Turn UP towards the Sound-Head Cap for a higher tone.
• Turn DOWN towards the Battery Cap for a lower tone.
• A TIP: Hold the power button down while you make your initial adjustment.
5. Sound-Head
5a. Optional Extra Sharp Sound-Head Cap – (With the gray Sound-Button) If you
have hard neck tissue, the Sharp Sound-Head Cap has a sharper sound, which may
penetrate tissue better. This may also be helpful if you work in a loud environment.
This cap is not as smooth sounding, so the voice may not be as pleasant.
5b. Sound-Head Spacer
• If you regularly use a higher tone, you may remove the Sound-Head Spacer (B);
Unscrew the Sound-Head Cap, remove the Spacer, and screw the Cap back on.
