Important safety instructions
y Please read these instructions carefully and completely
before using the headset.
y Make these instructions easily accessible to all users at all
times. Always include these instructions when passing
the headset on to third parties.
y During flight operation, do not use the headset for
telephone calls.
y With the NoiseGard active noise compensation switched
on, typical aircraft sounds (for example, those from
engines, propellers, warning alarms, etc.) may sound
different to you. Before operating any aircraft, make sure
that, with NoiseGard switched on, you can hear and
recognize these sounds. Set the volume to safe levels that
do not interfere with your ability to hear informational
sounds and warning alarms.
y The headset is capable of producing sound pressure levels
exceeding 85 dB(A). In many countries 85 dB(A) is the
maximum legally permissible level for continuous noise
exposure during the working day. Exposure to sounds of
higher volume levels or for longer durations can
permanently damage your hearing!
y Never repair or attempt to repair a defective headset
yourself. Contact your Sennheiser agent or the
Sennheiser Service Department.
y Only replace those parts of the headset whose
replacement is described in this manual. All other parts of
the headset must be replaced by your Sennheiser agent.
y Protect the headset from humidity. Use only a slightly
damp cloth to clean the headset. For information on how
to clean the headset, contact your Sennheiser agent.
Safety instructions for batteries

Do not solder. Do not short-circuit.
Do not mutilate or
dismantle.
Do not attempt
to recharge
non-rechargeable
batteries.
Do not pack charged
batteries loose –
danger of shorting

The HMEC 250 headset
The HMEC 250 headset with NoiseGard 2.0 active noise
compensation features closed, dynamic, circumaural stereo
headphones. The HMEC 250 is a headset for general aviation
use.
NoiseGard 2.0
The NoiseGard 2.0 active noise compensation system is
based on the principle of cancelling out sound using “anti-
sound” (phase-inverted sound). Tiny microphones pick up
low-frequency ambient noise (up to 1 kHz) near the ear. The
NoiseGard 2.0 electronics use this noise to generate a sound
wave which is the exact opposite (i.e.: at the same level but
polarity reversed – 180° out-of-phase), the result is that the
polarity reversed signal cancels most of the outside noise.
Fail safe operation
When the batteries are completely discharged, the
NoiseGard 2.0 active noise compensation automatically
switches off. RT traffic (e.g. ATC) and intercom will still be
heard through the headphones.
Peak level protection
The peak level protection safeguards your ears from volume
peaks above 110 dB.

TalkThrough function
The TalkThrough function allows you to communicate with
the people around you while wearing the headset. The
NoiseGard 2.0 active noise compensation and the peak level
protection remain unaffected by the TalkThrough function
and help to protect your hearing.

y Outstanding transmission quality for clear
communications
