5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Volume Control
The in-line audio control features a rotary volume wheel. Rotate the wheel upwards to increase volume and downwards to decrease volume. This adjusts the headset's output volume independently of your device's master volume.
5.2 Microphone Mute
A switch on the in-line audio control allows you to quickly mute or unmute the microphone. Slide the switch to the 'Mute' position to disable the microphone, and slide it back to enable it. This is useful for privacy or when you do not wish your voice to be transmitted.
6. Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the headset. For ear cushions, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure they are completely dry before use. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: When not in use, store the headset in the provided carrying pouch to protect it from dust and scratches. Avoid extreme temperatures and humidity.
- Cable Care: Do not excessively bend or pull the cables. Store them neatly to prevent tangling and damage.
