Turning the microphone boom

The microphone boom can be rotated by 180°. This allows the headset to be worn with the microphone boom positioned on either the left or right-hand side of the head.

Switching the microphone transmission off

If, during turning, the microphone boom is in the middle position (90°), the microphone transmission will be switched off in order to prevent disturbing noise.
