HEADSET COMPONENTS
CONTROL MODULE OPTIONS
There are two options for the control module:
- Control module with Bluetooth capability
- Conventional control module.
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.
Place the headset on your head.
Importance of Proper Fit
CHOOSE THE CORRECT STAY HEAR 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.

DESCRIPTION |
| High | Maximum quiet and noise cancellation across the entire spectrum. Best signal-to-noise ratio for radio and intercom communications in loud aircraft. | |
| Medium | Consistent noise reduction across a wide range of frequencies. Best for clear and comfortable noise cancellation in typical jet aircraft. | |
| Low | Best for improved interpersonal communication outside of the intercom. | |
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.
NOTES:
- By default, Tap Control is set to Off.
