5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your GAME ZERO headset, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the headset. For the leather ear pads, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Storage: When not in use, store the headset in its hard carry case to protect it from dust, scratches, and impacts.
- Cable Care: Avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling on the cables to prevent damage.
- Temperature: Do not expose the headset to extreme temperatures or high humidity.

If you encounter issues with your headset, try the following steps:
- No Audio/Microphone: Ensure all cables are securely connected to both the headset and your device. Check your device's audio input/output settings to confirm the headset is selected.
- Poor Audio Quality: Verify that the volume is not set too high, causing distortion. Test the headset with another device to rule out device-specific issues.
