Important safety information
Important safety information
왘 Please read this instruction manual carefully and completely before using the
product.
왘 Always include this instruction manual when passing the product on to third
parties.
왘 This instruction manual is also available on the Internet at
www.sennheiser-aviation.com or www.sennheiser.com.
Preventing health problems and accidents
왘 Always maintain a distance of at least 3.94“ (10 cm) between the ear cups and
the cardiac pacemaker or implanted defibrillator since the product generates
permanent magnetic fields.
왘 Keep product, accessory and packaging parts out of reach of children who
could swallow smaller pieces.
왘 Switch the product off after use to conserve battery power. Remove the
rechargeable batteries if the product will not be used for extended periods of
time.
왘 If during flight operation you, as the pilot, operate your connected Bluetooth
device using the headset, this can limit your attention. During flight operation,
do not use the headset for making phone calls or listening to music.
왘 With the NoiseGard
sounds (for example, those from engines, propellers, warning alarms, etc.) may
sound different to you. Before operating any aircraft, make sure that, with
NoiseGard
TM
/digital 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.
왘 The product is capable of producing sound pressure exceeding 85 dB(A). In
many countries 85 dB(A) is the maximum legally permissible level for continuous noise exposure during the working day. Do not listen at high volume
levels for long periods of time to prevent hearing damage.

Important safety information
왘 Only replace parts of the product whose replacement is described in this
instruction manual. All other parts of the product must be replaced by your
Sennheiser partner.
Information on active and passive noise attenuation
The S1 DIGITAL is a headset with digital adaptive noise compensation. As with
any complex electronic device, it is possible for the electronics of the headset to
fail during operation.
However, the S1 DIGITAL is designed to reduce the effects of such failures and to
allow for continued use of NoiseGard
TM
/digital. NoiseGardTM/digital is active when
the headset is switched on and the Power LED H lights up.
왘 Switch the headset off if you experience loud tones, distortion, or loss of com-
munications. You can then continue to use the S1 DIGITAL as a passive noise
attenuation headset.
Intended use
Intended use of the product includes
• having read and understood this instruction manual, especially the chapter
“Important safety information”,
• using the product within the operating conditions and limitations described in
this instruction manual.
“Improper use” means using the product other than as described in this instruction manual, or under operating conditions which differ from those described
herein.

The S1 DIGITAL headset
The S1 DIGITAL headset
The S1 DIGITAL aviation headset incorporates the latest in digital technology.
Featuring NoiseGard
TM
/digital noise compensation and excellent passive noise
attenuation, the headset is currently the only one on the market that provides
optimum protection against cockpit noise over the entire frequency range. The
S1 DIGITAL has been designed for use in noisy single- and multi-engine propeller
aircraft and helicopters.
The headset is characterized by its high-quality appearance and offers outstanding wearing comfort. With ear pads specially designed for spectacle
wearers, a contact pressure that is individually adjustable and a two-piece headband, the headset is always comfortable to wear even on long flights. In addition,
the headset has been designed with an emphasis on well-balanced weight
distribution.
Bluetooth
The S1 DIGITAL complies with the new Bluetooth 2.1 standard. Via its Bluetooth
interface, it can be connected to a wide variety of Bluetooth enabled devices.
Bluetooth wireless technology allows the S1 DIGITAL to communicate with your
Bluetooth enabled device (e.g. mobile phone, MP3 player, PC or PDA) within
a range of up to 10 meters.
