Avee Office – Getting Started

Tusen takk (which is thank you in Norwegian ) – for purchasing the Avee Office microphone !
We hope it gives you as much joy using it – as it gave us designing it – and using it in our office!
In this leaflet, we will show you how to prepare and connect the Avee Office to your headset – and how to use it.

How to prepare your headphones

The Avee microphone is using an adhesive magnetic stripe to attach safely to your Bose^® or Sony^® headset.

This solution makes it easy to attach and detach the Avee microphone from the headphone in seconds, and the Avee microphone stays safely in place whenever it is connected to the headphones.
Please follow these instructions to install the magnetic stripe properly to your headphones.
You can also view a video on how to do it by checking out this link.

Step 1: Using the cleaning wipe supplied, clean the base of your headphones including the area surrounding the input jack. Ensure that you remove any residue that is adhered to the headphones. Let dry for a minute or two.

Step 2: We are now preparing to transfer the magnetic stripe to the headphones using the Avee microphone as a jig. Let the magnetic stripe be attached to the Avee microphone, and remove the adhesive stripe protective backing from the magnetic stripe.  The magnetic stripe should stay on the Avee microphone and the adhesive side should be facing the headphone.

Step 3: Guide the add-on to the base of the left headphone and firmly press it in place for minimum 30 seconds. Once attached, carefully unplug it to reveal the adhesive magnetic stripe being transferred to the headphones.
Press firmly on the tape to ensure all edges of the tape have adhered to the headphones.
Optimally the adhesive on the magnetic stripe needs a 24 hrs curing time.

That is all – the Avee Office microphone is ready to be used!

Connect the Avee Office to your phone & computer
To start using the Avee Office microphone with your phone or computer, follow this procedure:

1. Plug the Avee Office microphone onto your headset.
   Switch on the ANR on the headset.
2. Switch on the Avee Office by pressing its left key (the one closest to the microphone boom ) shortly.
   Avee office powers up -and it announces Avee Office powering up in the headphones.

   NOTE: AveeOffice automatically goes to paring mode if it has not been paired before when it is powered up.
   Paring mode is indicated with blue led flashes on the Avee Office.

3. Add the Avee Office to your device.
   Go to your phone (or computer) and find the Bluetooth settings.

   * On an iPhone this is found here: Settings -> Bluetooth
   * On an Android it is found here: Settings -> Bluetooth
   * On a Mac computer it is found here: System Preferences -> Bluetooth
   * On a Windows PC: System Preferences -> Bluetooth 

   Add the AveeOffice XXX device showing up in the device list.
   Avee Office responds by announcing ‘Avee Office Device Connected’.

4. Add additional devices to your Avee Office
   If you want to add the Avee Office to additional devices, switch AveeOffice off (press and hold the leftmost key for three seconds), and then repeat the procedure from step 2.

   Avee Office is now connected to your phone and/or computer.

5. Listen to music with your favorite music app and select Bluetooth AveeOffice as the output device.
6. Adjust the volume
   Adjust the general headset volume with the volume adjustment on the phone/computer or with the volume adjustments found on the Avee Office right button.
   The Avee Office microphone is a noise-canceling microphone and it must be placed close to your lips to operate at its best. The ‘flat side’ and the white dot of the microphone should always face your lips.

   Please note that the Bose QC45 and Sony XM4 have a separate volume setting from the headset as well.     

7. Adjusting the sidetone
   When in a phone or Teams / Zoom meeting, adjust the sidetone (your own voice) with the sidetone adjustment wheel.
8. To charge
   Connect the Avee Office to a USB source via the micro USB connector to charge.

AveeOffice UserGuide
In this guide you find all commands that can be issued to Avee Office via the left and right key on top of the Avee Office.
The basic function of the left and right key is::

• Left key (closest to the microphone):
  Switch on & off, play & pause music, accept and decline calls.
  Please note thatthese functions are also available on the connected phone and/or Mac/PC.
  
  
• Right key
  Adjust headset volume up & down.
  Please note that you can also adjust the headset volume from the connected phone or Mac/PC.
  
  
• The rotary wheel
  Adjust sidetone – your own voice level in the headset.
  It is extremely important that you can hear your own voice when talking on the phone or being in a Zoom/Teams meeting.
  If you can not hear you own voice in the headset, or the headset level of your own voice is to low – most people will start talking louder.
  This is a non-wanted situation and it can easily be avoided by increasing the level of your own voice in the headphones.
  This is easily done from the adjustment wheel found on the bottom side of the Avee Office.
