How to store and maintain the HS 800 Digital

It is best to store the headset in the supplied padded leather bag. While storing the headset
make sure that it is not exposed to extreme temperatures, humidity or direct sunlight. Use
a soft cloth when cleaning the HS 800 Digital. For the leather pads, you should use an
appropriate leather care cleaner. Do not immerse the headset in water.

How to prepare the Headset for Use

4.2.1 Adjusting the Headband

For best comfort and noise attenuation, the headband has to be adjusted to fit your head
properly.
Wear the headset so that the headband runs over the top of your head and adjust the headband
so that
• your ears are completely enclosed by the ear cushions,
• you feel a gentle pressure around your ears,
• both ends of the headband have the same length to ensure a proper fit

4.2.2 Adjusting the Microphone

• Turn the microphone holder (not the gooseneck!)
to position the microphone on the left or right
hand side of the mouth.
• Place the wind shield onto the microphone and make sure that the microphone is completely
enclosed.
• Bend the flexible gooseneck so that the microphone is placed about 2 cm in front of the
middle of your mouth. In order to avoid overstretching and premature wear and tear never
bend the gooseneck more than 90°.
• Adjust the gain of the microphone via a
potentiometer by using the supplied small
screwdriver (refer to the illustration).
• At the factory a high gain has been set. The
gain is reduced by turning the potentiometer
to the left.
