Notes:
When the Noise Canceling function is set to on, you may hear white noise, a small
electrical noise with continuous static sound. The white noise is generated because of the
characteristics of the Noise Canceling function. This is not a malfunction of the headset.
If you are bothered by the white noise, use the headset with the Noise Canceling function
OFF.
When you use the headset while walking or running, vibration may be heard, linked with
the body movements. This is due to the characteristic of the headset combined with the
vibration of the movement, and is not a malfunction.
When the Noise Canceling function is set to ON, or the Ambient Sound Control is set
to ON, the wind noise may be louder depending on the usage conditions. If this is the
case, check the following:
o
WF-1000XM3: Move the slide bar to Wind Noise Reduction in the Ambient
Sound Control setting. If the wind noise isn't reduce sufficiently, turn off the
Noise Canceling function and Ambient Sound Control settings.
