After entering the booth, the activated motion sensor activates ventilation and lighting. If the booth user does not make any movement registered by the sensor, after 5 minutes it will turn off the ventilation and lighting. Both systems will restart when the motion sensor detects movement. After leaving the booth, the ventilation and lighting will stay on for 5 minutes. The power supply of the sockets inside the acoustic booth does not depend on the motion sensor. The electrical sockets are powered as long as the booth is connected to the electrical system.

The basic function of the acoustic booth is to reduce the volume of human speech to the value of the acoustic background prevailing in the office. Telephone calls, teleconferences and meetings are the most frequently indicated distraction factor by other co-workers. By transferring meetings and conversations to booths, we provide people working in the office with appropriate working conditions.
For safety reasons, booths cannot completely isolate the user from ambient noise. When conducting a conversation or meeting, the user should be able to hear distress signals or other warning messages broadcast by office public address systems.

The minimum number of people recommended to assemble the acoustic booth is 2 people. It is recommended that the installation of Hushoffice acoustic booths be performed by qualified and experienced installers.

Plants should be planted in pots, then put into the green wall casings together with the pot. The soil in the pots must be compact, it cannot contain other elements such as: grit, expanded clay, etc. Plants recommended for planting in the green wall include: fern, Sternberg’s herb, rubber plant, peace lily.

The greenWall consists of a body, integrated pots and electronic irrigation. It is a simple, aesthetic and intuitive way to experience nature at your fingertips. It involves the circulation of water in a closed system of interconnected hoses and a tank. The pump placed in the water tank sends the water to the top of the wall, and then the water flows down into the tank, irrigating the plants with the right amount of water. Before watering, check the water level in the aquarium according to the marking inside the tank on the wall. In order to start irrigation of the plants, turn on the pump using the button located in the front of the aquarium. The device will not stop its operation automatically, so after the watering process is completed, turn off the pump. Keep this in mind, as long-term operation of the pump without interruption can damage it due to pumping out all the water from the tank or clogging with dirt. To ensure proper functioning of the greenWall, at least a minimum water level should be maintained. It is recommended to change the water once a month, check the soil moisture once a week and water according to the needs of the plants. This will prevent clogging and damage to the pump as the pump cannot run without water. The aquarium should be regularly cleaned of stones, leaves and other impurities. Before cleaning the tank, be sure to disconnect the plug from the power source.

In order to verify that the booth has been assembled correctly, follow the steps below:
- Check if the booth is properly levelled. Use a spirit level and check the level by placing it against the floor and the plumb line by placing the spirit level against the side of the Hushoffice. To do this, lower the feet, which are adjusted through the holes in the floor. The spirit level should be between the two vertical lines on the viewfinder.
- Check that all screws have been inserted and tightened. There must be no gaps between elements such as sides, ceiling, quarter rounds or floor.
- Check that none of the plastic elements of the upholstery fastening have been damaged during assembly. Grasp each pillow with both hands and shake it slightly. Excessive slack may indicate a damaged fairing part (plastic component of the upholstery fastening).
- Check the electrics. To do this, after connecting the acoustic booth to the power source, go inside and check the operation of the knobs by turning them to the right, thus increasing the lighting intensity, and to the left, thus decreasing the lighting intensity (excluding HushAccess.L AA-HUS-BX-221 and HushPhone AA-HUS-BX-018; AA-HUS-BX-118; AA-HUS-BX-218, because they do not have knobs. In their case, the correct operation of the electrics is verified immediately after entering the acoustic booth. If the lighting and ventilation come on, the electrics are working properly).
