FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

Headband
D:1 Slide out the cups and tilt the top of the shell out, as the
cable must be on the outside of the headband.
D:2 Adjust the height of the cups by sliding them up or down
while holding the headband in place.
D:3 The headband should be positioned across the top of the
head as shown and should support the weight of the headset.
Neckband
D:4 Place the cups in position over the ears.
D:5 Keep the cups in position, place the head strap on top of
your head and lock it tight in position.
D:6 The head strap should be positioned across the top of your
head.
E:1-E:2 Fitting the speech microphone
To maximize the performance of the speech microphone in noisy
areas, position the microphone very close to your mouth (less
than 3 mm or 1/8 inch).
NOTE: When used in high altitudes/aviation the surrounding
pressure can be reduced rapidly and affect the microphone
sensitivity, for example during helicopter ascent. If this occurs
position the microphone closer and/or speak louder to increase
the pressure on the microphone membrane.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Replacing the batteries (Fig 1)
1-2. Remove the battery compartment lids and insert the
batteries (2xAAA).
3. The battery polarity must correspond to the marking in the
battery compartment.
4. The lids must be pressed all the way down to ensure good
seal. Low battery level is indicated by a voice message "low
battery", repeatedly.
Switching the headset on and off (Fig 2)
Press and hold the [+] or [–] button for approximately 2 seconds
to switch the headset on or off. A voice guide will confirm. The
current setting is always saved when the headset is switched off.
The headset is automatically powered off after two hours of
inactivity. This is indicated by a voice message during the last
minute before the headset switches off. Press the [+] or [–]
button to reset the two hour timeout period.
Adjusting Volume (Fig 3)
Press [+] or [–] to adjust the volume of the ambient/
environmental listening. There are four level settings as well as
the ability to turn the ambient/environmental listening off. The
max settings are confirmed by a beep. Ambient/Environmental
listening off mode is confirmed by a voice message.
Face-to-face communication via NIB technology
NIB enables face-to-face communication within close range in
noisy environments.
The NIB technology enables wireless communication within a
10 m radius. Full duplex communication for up to four people
within this perimeter.

In noisy environments, simply walk close to the person you
wish to talk to. The NIB technology will softly fade in and out
(5-10 m radius) and allow communication with people who
are close. Stay within 3-5 m radius for optimal communication
signal.
When the four, full duplex transmitting channels are busy (1-4),
other users can still listen but are not able to transmit (5-9). The
upper limit of listeners are limited to the number of people fitted
into the radius of 10 m rather than what the technology permits.
NOTE: When more than four users attempt to transmit via NIB,
the 5th user and beyond attempting to transmit will hear beeps,
indicating that the outgoing communication did not transmit.
