User’s Guide

Your New Plantroni cs A vi ation Headset

Easy to Wear, Easy to Use

The MS50 attaches to a headband or eyeglasses. It offers lightweight
comfort and the dependability that has made us part of every
manned-space program from Project Mercury to the Space Shuttle.

Plantronics MS50 aviation headsets are FAA approved and
TSO certified.

To get the maximum benefit from your new headset and accessories,
read this user’s guide carefully.

1. Select Proper Size Eartip

Select the eartip size so that the bulb portion fits snugly into the ear
canal. Clean or replace eartips regularly and ensure that the clear
tube is not kinked.

Caution: If you have a history of ear infections or allergies to
plastics, you should exercise care in using the eartip.

Aviation Headset Warranty

The Warranty period lasts for one year from
the manufacturing date code, date of order
or date of shipment, whichever is latest.

2. Attaching the E artip to the Capsule

Slide the end of the eartip
onto the metal sound port
on the capsule and gently
twist it. Adjust the tube so
that it rests in the position
shown in the photo.

3. Putting on the Headset

Insert the pivoting arm under
the spring clip, as shown. The
pivoting arm on which the
capsule is mounted allows
you to wear the capsule on
the left or right side with the
headband over the top of, or
behind your head. Make certain
the capsule is on the outside
of the pivoting arm. Place the
eartip in the opening of the
ear canal.

4. Adjusting the Voice Tube

Place the voice tube near the corner of the mouth just below, but not
directly in front of, your lips, as shown. Move the headband pivot bar
up and down to position the tube vertically, and rotate the tube itself
for horizontal positioning. If necessary, you can move the capsule
laterally on the pivot arm.

5. Adjusting the Clothing Clip

Attach the clothing clip to a part of your clothing at about chest level.
Press the ends of the cable clamp to allow enough slack — approxi­mately six inches (15cm)— between your headset and the clothing clip.

Try moving your head from side to side to ensure that you have
allowed sufficient cable slack between the headset and the
clothing clip.

Care and Maintenance

• Periodically wipe off the capsule and voice tube or boom using a soft

cloth which may be dampened with water.

• Do Not use alcohol, cleaning solvents, or detergents on your headset.

6. Attaching the Headset to Glasses

(optional mounting style)

The spring clip on either side of the capsule allows you to install
your headset onto glasses. If your glasses have wire temples, you
may order an eyeglass bow adapter to thicken the mounting
base for the capsule and ensure a comfortable fit, as shown. The
bow adapter is not included with the MS50 aviation headset
(order PN 10822-00).
