(c) Mic label is not facing mouth

Mic is 1/2 inch from mouth

2.Pull the microphone in toward your lips. Position the microphone with its label side facing in. Though it will be slightly off center, the microphone should be 1/2 inch from the opening of your lips.

3.Make sure the broad side of the microphone is facing your lips. Do not purse your lips.

Operating the battery powered headset

If your headset is battery powered, read the control information below. If your headset is aircraft powered, refer to “Operating the air- craft powered headset” on page 23.

The battery powered headset uses AdaptiSense™ headset tech- nology to supply the power your headset needs at any given time. Smart shutoff turns off the circuitry several minutes after you remove the headset.

This maximizes available energy for longer life from the two batteries.

Atri-color LED provides real-time battery status. Its brightness is adjustable for day/night operation.
