If your sole purpose for purchasing the CHAT 60 is to use it with Skype and you do not inted to
use it with hardware devices other than your PC, you do not need to review the rest of this manual.
The remaining pages of this manual describe how to connect the CHAT 60 with devices other than a
PC and how to install and use the CHAT software in order to correctly configure the CHAT 60 for use
with those devices.
Since the CHAT 60 obtains its power from your computer via the USB cable, connecting it to a
different hardware device will require an external power supply, which is not included with the CHAT
60. This power supply can be purchased from ClearOne (part number 561-159-001).
