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.
