HEADSET COMPONENT
CONTROL MODULE OPTIONS
There are two options for the control module:

IMPORTANCE OF PROPER FIT
FIT THE HEADBAND
Proper fit is important both for comfort and optimal noise cancellation performance.
- Using the left T and right U icons on the headband to orient the headset properly, rotate the side pads into position.
- Place the headset on your head.
- Adjust the headband so the side pads rest above your ears.
CHOOSE THE CORRECT STAYHEAR+ TIPS
For optimal audio performance, it is important to choose the correct size StayHear+ tip. Select the size that gives you the best comfort and fit in each ear.
To determine the best fit, you may need to try all three sizes. You may need a different size for each ear.
NOTE: Without a properly fitting tip, the noise reduction and audio performance of the headset will be degraded. To test the fit, try speaking aloud wearing the headset while it’s powered off. Make a low-pitched “eee” sound. Your voice should sound amplified and balanced in both ears, similar to when you plug your ears with your fingers. If not, try another tip size.
Each StayHear+ tip and earbud is marked with either an L or an R. Be sure to attach the left tip to the left earbud and the right tip to the right earbud.
FIT THE EARBUDS TO YOUR EAR
The StayHear+ tip allows the earbud to rest comfortably and securely in your ear.
The tip wing fits just under your ear ridge.
- Insert the earbud so the StayHear+ tip rests gently in the opening of the ear canal.
- Tilt the earbud back and tuck the tip wing under the ear ridge until it is secure.
TIP: If the StayHear+ tips don’t fit securely, choose a different size.
Single earbud use
When you want to use the headset with one earbud, you can stow the other earbud using the earbud storage hook on the back of the side pad.
CHANGE THE STAYHEAR+ TIPS
- Holding the earbud, gently grasp the attached Stay Hear+ tip and peel it away from the earbud.
CAUTION: To prevent tearing, grasp the Stay Hear+ tip by its base. Do NOT pull on the tip wing.
- Align the opening of the new StayHear+ tip with the earbud nozzle and rotate the tip onto the nozzle. Press the base of the tip until it clicks securely into place.
ADJUST THE MICROPHONE
NOTE: By default, the reversible microphone ships from the factory attached to the left side of the headset. If you want to move the microphone to the other side of the headset.
- Grasp the microphone base, and adjust the boom so the microphone is level with your mouth.
CAUTION: Microphone placement is important for clear communication.
It can rotate 300°. Do NOT force the microphone beyond the intended rotation or damage could occur.
- Position the microphone so it is 0.5″ (12.7 mm) from your lips, and the white surface on the base is facing your mouth.NOTES:
- If necessary, twist the microphone base to rotate the microphone into position.
- The microphone should not be touching your lips.
- Test the headset before flight.
CONDITIONS RELATED TO FIT
In very loud conditions, such as during takeoff, you may experience a brief reduction in noise cancellation as the headset compensates for a momentary pressure change.
If this continues when the sound level returns to normal, see “Acoustic Noise Cancellation” A low rumbling sound or frequent, brief losses of noise cancellation may indicate an improper fit or blocked earbud ports. See “Choose the correct Stay Hear+ tips” information on proper fit or “Clean the headset.
During a long flight, you may feel a slight pressure point, which can be relieved by adjusting the headband position.

NOTE: When you receive a call, the headset remains at the current noise cancellation level.
ACOUSTIC NOISE CANCELLING FUNCTIONS
The Acoustic Noise Cancelling switch is located on the front of the control module.
TAP CONTROL FOR TALK-THROUGH COMMUNICATION
When you need to focus on interpersonal communication coming from a specific direction, you can automatically set noise cancelling to Low on a single earbud by firmly double-tapping the earbud.
