Important

To ensure safe operation, please read the supplied 'Important Safety Instructions' booklet before installing and using your VistaPlus Adapter.

WELCOME

Thank you for selecting the VistaPlus™ (DM15) Adapter from Plantronics. VistaPlus is a headset adapter that incorporates SoundGuard Digital technology that is designed to offer increased protection against loud sounds for headset users.

VistaPlus is compatible with most business telephones and includes standard adapter functions including headset/handset switch, microphone mute and receive volume adjustment.

SoundGuard DIGITAL provides two distinct types of protection. Firstly, it monitors and predicts the daily personal noise exposure, and adaptively limits the maximum volume to ensure the action levels specified by current and imminent EU legislation are not exceeded.

Constantly on guard, it also identifies and eliminates sudden loud sounds. Network interference, a fax machine tone, or even a whistle blown by a malicious caller are all instantly reduced to a level similar to background noise.

CONNECTING THE ADAPTER

Refer to Figure 1. Connections

CONNECTING THE DM15

! CAUTION: It is important for correct and safe operation of the DM15 that it be installed in the proper port of your telephone. Follow these instructions carefully.

1. On the DM15, locate the free end of the stub cable already plugged into the port with the telephone symbol.
2. Follow the curly cord of your handset to the port where it plugs into your phone. Remove the curly cord plug from your phone and replace it with the free end of the Short Cord.
3. Plug the curly cord of your handset into the port with the handset symbol on the DM15.
4. Connect the AC/DC Power Adapter to the DM15 Adapter and plug into your power source.
5. Plug your headset (not supplied) into the Quick Disconnect™ cord from the DM15 Adapter.

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES

Refer to Figure 2 Battery compartment

As an alternative to the AC adapter, the VistaPlus can be operated from two alkaline AA batteries. To install the batteries, remove the battery cover on the bottom of the adapter. Install the batteries into the compartment the correct way round as shown on the inside of the battery cover and then replace the cover.

The LED indicator on the top of the VistaPlus will flash every two seconds when the batteries need replacing.

Disconnect the AC adapter from the VistaPlus and unplug it from the mains supply when using batteries.

ADJUSTING THE ADAPTER

Refer to Figure 3 Switches on the bottom of the unit

The compatibility switch on the bottom of the adapter allows VistaPlus to operate with most business telephones. This switch is set to position A, but if you cannot hear a dial tone move the switch to one of the other positions (A-F). Once you have found the setting that works, it will not need to be changed unless you change your telephone.

SETTING THE SPEAK VOLUME

The speak volume is how loud or quiet your voice is heard by someone on the other end of the line. Put on your headset and tell a colleague you are making a test call to them. If they cannot hear you, move the 'speak volume' slider on the bottom of the adapter until they can hear you. You may also need to decrease the speak volume if this is set too high. Position 9 on this slider is the loudest; position 1 the quietest.

When you have set the speak volume, you should not need to change it, unless you change telephones.

SETTING THE RECEIVE VOLUME

Refer to Figure 4 Top view of buttons and tone control

VistaPlus has a volume control which you can use to adjust the volume of your caller's voice. Step the volume up and down by pushing the volume switch on the top of the adapter until it is set at a comfortable level. The adapter will maintain this volume regardless of the volume of the incoming call and so you should not need to adjust the receive volume very often. Receive volume can be adjusted while you are in a call, if required.

SoundGuard Digital protection ensures that the volumes do not exceed legally defined levels over the course of a working day and will protect you from sudden high volume noises which may occur.

ADJUSTING THE TONE CONTROL

The tone control lets you improve the clarity of calls. There are three settings; push the tone control button while you are making your test call and select the preferred setting.

HEADSET / HANDSET MODE

VistaPlus can be operated in two modes: headset or handset. To use headset mode, press the headset button on the top of the adapter so that you can see the red square. Press this button again to switch to handset mode. In handset mode, the telephone can be used normally.

USING THE MUTE SWITCH

VistaPlus has a mute button so that you can still hear the caller, but they cannot hear you. To use the mute function, press the mute button so that you can see the red square indicator. Press the button again when you want your caller to hear you. Note that mute only works with headset, not with handset.

LEAVING YOUR DESK WHILE MAKING OR TAKING A CALL

If you need to leave your desk during a call, you can keep your headset on and simply disconnect the QD connectors. On some systems, this may hang up the call or place it on hold.

WARNING

The LED indicator on the top of the adapter serves two purposes:

• To indicate when you need to change batteries. The light will flash every two seconds.
  To indicate when SoundGuard Digital protection is active. The light will go out when the noise goes away.
