GETTING YOUR HEADSET READY FOR USE

Inserting batteries

CAUTION: The battery compartment is designed to prevent inadvert- ent reverse polarity from installing the batteries incorrectly. If the bat- teries do not seem to fit correctly, do not force them in. Forcing an improper connection will cause permanent damage to the control module.

Preparing the aircraft powered headset for use

For an aircraft powered headset, the cable is permanently installed in the aircraft.

CAUTION: The aircraft panel connector must be mounted by a mechanic qualified to perform this type of avionics installation for the aircraft you are using.

If yours is an aircraft powered headset, there is a connector on a 6- foot wiring harness that came in the carton. This self-latching, preci- sion designed quick-connector is designed for panel mounting and mechanically keyed to ensure proper mating.

Attaching and removing the cable

When the quick-connector is installed, the cable leading from the control module connects to it. Match the narrow bar on the cable end to the slot on the connector. Press in until the two parts engage (Figure 11 on page 15).

To release the cable, pull back on the sleeve near the end of the cable. Then gently remove the cable from the connector.

X specifications

Bose X is a premium series of aviation headsets designed specifically for pilots and aviation enthusiasts who demand high-performance audio while flying. Renowned for its exceptional noise cancellation, the Bose X stands out in the realm of aviation communication, providing a crucial advantage in noisy cockpit environments.

One of the most remarkable features of the Bose X is its Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) technology. This innovative system uses microphones both inside and outside of the earcups to detect and counteract ambient noise, resulting in a remarkably quiet listening experience. This feature is especially beneficial during flights where engine noise can be overwhelming, allowing pilots to focus on critical communication and navigation tasks without distractions.

The Bose X is equipped with proprietary TriPort speaker technology, which delivers unparalleled sound quality. This technology allows for a balanced audio experience, ensuring clear communication from both the aircraft’s avionics and any external devices. The headset also features a flexible boom microphone that offers excellent noise rejection, ensuring that the pilot's voice is transmitted clearly without picking up background noise.

Comfort is a key characteristic of the Bose X headset. The ear cushions are designed with soft, pressure-relieving material that contours to the wearer's ears, allowing for extended usage without discomfort. The lightweight design further enhances comfort, as it minimizes fatigue during long flights.

In addition to its primary features, the Bose X also includes user-friendly controls. The intuitive volume control allows pilots to adjust audio levels seamlessly without diverting attention from flying. There are also connections for Bluetooth-enabled devices, which enable pilots to enjoy music or communicate with co-pilots wirelessly.

Durability and reliability are paramount in aviation gear, and the Bose X does not disappoint. It is built with high-quality materials that can withstand the rigors of aviation environments. The headset also includes a detachable cable, making it easy to replace or upgrade as needed.

Overall, the Bose X delivers an exceptional combination of advanced technology, comfort, and durability, making it a preferred choice for many aviation professionals. Whether in small aircraft or large jets, the Bose X enhances the flying experience, facilitating clear communication and unparalleled audio quality in the skies.
