Preparing the headsets for use

Adjusting the headband

For good noise attenuation and best possible comfort, the headband has to be adjusted to properly fit your head:

Wear the headset so that the headband runs over the top of your head.

Adjust the length of the headband so that

•your ears are completely inside the ear cushions,

•you feel even, gentle pressure around your ears,

•a snug fit is ensured.

Note:

Make sure not to squeeze any connecting cable when adjusting the headband. Squeezing can damage the connecting cables.

Turn on the NoiseGard™ active noise compensation by setting the ON/OFF switch

to ON ( “Turning NoiseGard™ on/off”).

Final adjustment is best made in a noisy environment.
