2.  Take off the coil of lead wires; then put the earpieces on and adjust the headband so that the center  of  the  earpiece  is  directly  over  the opening of the ear. 3.  Insert the plug into the jack box and screw the collar on firmly. Adjust the mouthpiece to bring it directly in front of your mouth when you stand erect. When you speak into the transmitter, it should be about 1/2 to 1 inch from your mouth. In making this adjustment, remember that the fine wire that goes to the transmitter can be broken easily. Be sure there aren’t any sharp bends in it, and don’t allow it to get caught between the transmitter and the yoke. When you are wearing the headset, always keep some slack in the lead cord and be sure it is flat on deck. If you have the cord stretched taut (tight), someone may trip over it and damage the wires, receive an injury, or injure you. Don’t allow objects to roll over or rest on the cord. After  plugging  in  the  phones,  test  them  with someone on the circuit. If the phones aren’t in order, report that fact to the person in charge of your station and don a spare set; do not attempt to repair the set yourself. If you are on lookout and should be listening as well as searching, cover only one ear with an earpiece so that you  can  hear  outside  noises  as  well  as  telephone communications. Keep the unused earpiece flat against the side of your head so that noises will not enter the circuit. N eve r  s e c u r e  t h e  p h o n e s  u n t i l  y o u  h ave permission to do so. When permission is given, make up the phones for stowage according to the following instructions: 1.  Remove the plug from the jack box (fig. 4-2) by holding the plug in one hand and unscrewing the collar with the other. When the collar is loose, grasp the plug and pull it out. Don’t pull on the lead to remove the plug; that will weaken and eventually break the connection. When the plug is out, lay it carefully on the deck. Immediately screw the cover on the jack box, as dust and dirt will soon cause a short circuit in a jack box left uncovered. (NOTE: If you see an uncovered jack box, cover it, even though you were not responsible for the carelessness.) 2.  Remove  the  headset  and  hang  it  over  the transmitter yoke, as shown in figure 4-3. 3.  Coil the lead cord, starting from the end at the phone. Coil the lead in a clockwise direction, holding the loops in one hand, as shown in figure 4-4. The loops should be 8 to 10 inches across, depending on the size of the space where the phones are stowed. When you are coiling the lead, be careful not to bang the plug against the bulkhead or deck. 4.  When the lead is coiled, remove the headset from the transmitter yoke and put the headband in the same hand with the coil. Use this same hand to hold the 4-3 Student Notes: Figure 4-2.—Sound-powered telephone jack box. Figure 4-3.—Hanging the headset on the yoke.
