The noise canceling function

Environmental noises in airplanes, trains and
buses, and noise caused by air-conditioners is
reduced by 81%, providing a quieter listening
environment. This function allows you to enjoy
music without raising the volume too high, and
is, therefore, kinder to your ears.
This unit mainly reduces low-frequency noise:
as such, sounds with relatively high frequency
components such as car horns, telephone ringers
and people’s voices may not be attenuated very
effectively.

Supplied accessories

Please check and identify the supplied accessories.
Use numbers indicated in parentheses when
asking for replacement parts. “As of August 2011”

(For U.S.A. and Puerto Rico)

To order accessories, refer to “Accessory
Purchases (United States and Puerto Rico)”

La fonction de suppression de bruit

Les bruits ambiants qui règnent dans les avions,
les trains et les autobus, ainsi que le bruit généré
par les appareils de climatisation, sont réduits de
81% afi n de fournir un environnement d’écoute
plus silencieux. Cette fonction vous permet
d’écouter de la musique sans pousser le volume
trop haut, offrant donc un son plus agréable à
l’oreille.
Cet appareil réduit essentiellement les bruits de
basse fréquence gênants. Pour cette raison, les
sons aux fréquences supérieures, tels que les
klaxons de voiture, les sonneries de téléphone et
les voix humaines, restent relativement intacts.

Accessoires fournis

Veuillez confirmer la présence et l’état des
accessoires suivants.

s’éteint, ou lorsque le son devient distordu, faible
ou intermittent.

Réglez le commutateur de suppression de
bruit à “OFF” pour utiliser le casque d’écoute
comme un casque d’écoute ordinaire lorsque
la pile est déchargée ou lorsque aucune pile
n’est insérée.

Utilisation du casque

Baissez le volume sur l’appareil audio d
ou le système audio de bord e et insérez
la fi che d’entrée (stéréo de 3,5 mm) dans
la prise pour casque (utilisez la fi che
adaptatrice a si nécessaire).

Il se peut que la fi che d’entrée et la fi che
adaptatrice pour avion ne conviennent pas
aux prises de l’accoudoir dans certains
avions.

a Avant de mettre le casque d’écoute

Faites pivoter les deux boîtiers
d’environ 90°.

Vous risquez d’abîmer les boîtiers si vous

les faites pivoter dans le sens opposé.

b

Vérifi ez les côtés gauche et droit

optimisant la qualité sonore pour cette
fonction.

Nota

•

Lors de l’utilisation de la fonction de suppression de
bruit, un très faible son, généré par le processeur
réduisant le bruit, peut être entendu. Ceci est normal
et n’est le signe d’aucune anomalie. (Ce très faible
son peut être entendu dans des endroits tranquilles
ou lors de transitions entre les chansons.)

• La présence de poussière sur la prise risque

d’engendrer du bruit. Nettoyez alors la prise
avec un chiffon sec et doux.

•

Tenez cet appareil éloigné de tout objet sensible
aux champs magnétiques. Des appareils tels qu’un
réveil pourraient ne pas fonctionner correctement.

•

Cessez d’utiliser le casque en cas d’inconfort.
Une utilisation continue risque d’entraîner des
irritations ou autres réactions allergiques.

La función de anulación de ruido

Los ruidos ambientales en aviones, trenes y
autobuses, y el ruido causado por acondicionadores
de aire se reducen un 81%, lo que proporciona un
ambiente auditivo más silencioso. Esta función
le permite disfrutar de la música sin subir
excesivamente el volumen, y es, por supuesto,
evitando así lastimar sus oídos.
Esta unidad reduce principalmente el ruido de
baja frecuencia: por lo tanto, los sonidos con
componentes de frecuencia relativamente alta
como, por ejemplo, los de bocinas de automóviles,
timbres de teléfonos y voces de personas pueden
no ser atenuados muy efi cazmente.

Accesorios suministrados

y presione sobre la parte superior
de la tapa (C) para cerrar la tapa del
compartimiento.

Asegúrese de que la tapa del compartimiento
esté fi rmemente asentada en el alojamiento
izquierdo.

Cuándo cambiar la pila

Sustituya la pila cuando el indicador de anulación
de ruido empiece a parpadear o se apague, o
cuando el sonido se distorsione, esté bajo o
salga intermitentemente.

Ponga el interruptor de anulación de ruido en
“OFF” para usarlos como auriculares normales
si se ha agotado la pila o no está puesta.

Utilización de los auriculares

Baje el volumen de la unidad de audio

d o del sistema de audio en vuelo e
e inserte la clavija de entrada (estéreo
de 3,5 mm) en la toma de auriculares
(utilice el adaptador de clavija a si es
necesario).

La clavija de entrada y el adaptador de clavija
para aviones pueden no ser adecuados para
los descansabrazos de algunos aviones.

a Antes de ponerse los auriculares

Gire ambos alojamientos 90°
aproximadamente.

Los alojamientos pueden dañarse si se

giran a la fuerza en sentido opuesto.

b Compruebe los lados izquierdo y

derecho (L y R) y luego póngase los
auriculares. Mueva las deslizaderas
hacia arriba o hacia abajo para
colocar las alojamientos sobre sus
orejas.

•

Inicie la reproducción en el unidad de
audio y ajuste su volumen; o,

• Ajuste el volumen en el sistema de
audio en vuelo.

Active la función de anulación de ruido.

b

Reajuste el volumen de la fuente de

sonido.

El volumen y la calidad del sonido
cambian, optimizando la calidad del sonido
para esta función.

Nota

•

Cuando utilice la función de anulación de ruido
puede que se oiga un poco de ruido generado
por el circuito que reduce el ruido, pero esto
es normal y no indica ningún problema. (Este
ruido de nivel muy bajo se puede oír en
lugares silenciosos donde hay muy poco ruido
o en las partes en blanco entre pistas.)

•

Si la clavija está sucia se podrá producir ruido.
Limpie la clavija con un paño suave y seco
cuando ocurra esto.

•

Mantenga esta unidad alejada de los objetos
a los que pueda afectar el magnetismo. Tales
objetos como, por ejemplo, un reloj pueden no
funcionar correctamente.

•

Deje de utilizar los auriculares si le causan
molestias. La utilización continua puede causar
sarpullidos u otras reacciones alérgicas.
