Maintaining Your Headset
Safety Notice
Avoid Heat: Avoid resting or storing the headset or cables in or
on top of units that generate heat. Gaming consoles are known to
generate and dissipate unusually high levels of heat, and the heat
can degrade the plastic resulting in twisting and eventual exposure
of the internal wiring.
Storage: To help prevent damage to your Turtle Beach Headset,
store it in a dry location where there is no risk of heavy items
falling on your headset. Do not leave your headset or any accessories in a location where people or pets might accidentally trip
over it.
Cleaning: Only use a dry cloth or slightly damp cloth. Cleaning
solutions may damage your headset.
Transporting: Always disconnect all cables when transporting
your headset.
Wire Management: Use the Velcro attached to your headset cable
to avoid tangles when not in use.
Pets: Pets love to chew cords. To prevent this, keep your headset
out of the reach of your pets.
XBOX 360 Talkback Cable: Pressure on the Talkback Cable can
cause the jacks in the headset or XBOX 360 controller to become
loose. A loose jack or wear and tear on the Talkback Cable can
result in poor connection, pops, clicks, static, etc. In some cases
of excess pressure, the tip of the talkback cable can break off
inside the controller. Turtle Beach is not responsible if this happens
to your XBOX 360 Controller.

To avoid potential damage to the device, always disconnect all cables before
transporting it.
WARNING: Permanent hearing damage can occur if a headset is used at high
volumes for extended periods of time, so it is important to keep the volume
at a safe level. Over time, your ears adapt to loud volume levels, so a level
that may not cause initial discomfort can still damage your hearing. If you
experience ringing in your ears after listening with the headset, it means the
volume is set too loud. The louder the volume, the less time it takes to affect
your hearing. So, please take care to listen at moderate levels.
• Before placing a headset on your ears, turn the volume down completely,
then slowly increase it to a comfortable level.
• Turn down the volume if you can’t hear people speaking near you.
• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
