As with any complex electronic device, it is possible for this headset to fail during operation. Symptoms of failure, which may include loud tones, distortion, feedback squeals and loss of communications signal in the headset, can occur in either the Acoustic Noise Cancelling emits any loud noise and the related loss of communications in the Acoustic Noise Cancelling™ mode, turn o the power switch. The headset will continue to provide communications in the passive noise-reducing mode. If the problem persists, see “Troubleshooting” on page 44.

• Be aware of sound dierences while wearing the headset. With the headset’s active and passive noise reduction, typical aircraft sounds (such as engines, propellers, warning

alarms, and other sound sources) may not sound familiar. Make sure you can hear and recognize these sounds when using the headset while operating any aircraft.

CONDITIONS RELATED TO FIT

In very loud conditions, such as during takeo, 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” on page 19. If it persists, see “Troubleshooting” on page 44.

A low rumbling sound or frequent, brief losses of noise cancellation may indicate an improper ﬁt or blocked earbud ports. See “Choose the correct StayHear®+ tips” on page 14 for information on proper ﬁt or “Clean the headset” on page 40 for instructions on removing blockages.

During a long ﬂight, you may feel a slight pressure point, which can be relieved by adjusting the headband position.
