Docking the Headset/Charging

1. Press the Multi Function button on the headset ➎. The LED will light up for 2 seconds indicating it is powering on. Press the Multi Function button again, or dock the headset on the Base Unit. Lift the headset: when the headset and base are connected, the Headset Paired LED will light up.
2. When docked correctly, the headset battery will begin charging, if needed (the LED will flash while charging). Charge for 20 minutes or until the battery indicator on the base is steady green.
3. To Clear the paired Base Unit and headset: Press the button marked R + at the back of the base. The battery charging status light will flash 3 times to indicate successful un-pairing.
4. To Re-pair with the headset: press and hold the PAGE button for 5 seconds. The headset paired light will flash to indicate the Base Unit is searching for the headset. Press and hold the headset mute button until the headset status LED flashes indicating the headset is in paired status. The connection will be successful when the LEDs shut off at the same time.

Configuring the PC Audio

Due to the large range of desk phone brands/models available, a clear dial tone must be set before your first use of the ZūM Maestro USB™ headset. Setting a clear dial tone will enable the ZūM Maestro USB™ headset to function correctly with your computer for use with Skype, Skype for Business or other VoIP application. It is also important to set the microphone volume for optimal sound quality

Setting Microphone Volume

Set a Clear Dial Tone

1. Put on the headset.
2. Use AC adapter to plug the Base Unit into a wall power outlet.
3. Use the Mini USB cable to connect to the computer.

Set The Microphone Volume

1. Put on the headset.
2. Check the microphone volume by making a test call to a friend or colleague. Make sure they don’t adjust their own listening volume. You can also test the volumes by yourself by using Skype’s Echo Sound Test, online.
3. Adjust the microphone volume using the +/- volume buttons until it is at the right volume for the person listening.
4. To adjust your listening volume, use the receiver +/-volume buttons until  it’s at a good level for you.
5. After you’ve made the adjustments, you’re done, and can end the test call and start using your headset.
