Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the headset. For the ear cushion, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, but ensure it is completely dry before use. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: When not in use, store the headset in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures.
• Cable Care: The cable features a retractable design. Avoid excessive pulling or tangling to prevent damage. Always grasp the plug when disconnecting the headset, not the cable itself.
