Setup

1. Connect to Device: Insert the USB connector of the headset into an available USB port on your desktop computer, laptop, or compatible tablet.
2. Driver Installation: The headset is plug-and-play. Your operating system (Windows, macOS, Chrome OS) should automatically detect and install the necessary drivers. This process may take a few moments.
3. Audio Settings: Once connected, verify that the HamiltonBuhl MACH-2 headset is selected as the default audio input (microphone) and output (speakers) device in your computer's sound settings.

Operating Instructions

• Wearing the Headset: Adjust the headband for a comfortable fit over your ears. The over-ear design provides sound isolation.
• Microphone Adjustment: Position the flexible gooseneck microphone approximately 1-2 inches from your mouth for optimal voice clarity. The steel reinforcement ensures durability and stable positioning.
• Volume Control: Use the in-line remote control on the cable to adjust the listening volume.
• Microphone Mute: The in-line remote may also include a microphone mute switch. Refer to the specific remote design for its functionality.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the headset surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Cable Care: The Dura-Cord is designed to be chew, kink, and knot-resistant. However, avoid excessive pulling or bending at the connection points to prevent internal damage.
• Storage: When not in use, store the headset in the provided anti-lice storage bag to protect it from dust and potential contaminants.

Troubleshooting

• No Sound/Microphone Not Working:
  • Ensure the USB connector is fully inserted into the port.
  • Check your computer's sound settings to confirm the headset is selected as the default audio device.
  • Verify the volume control on the headset and your computer is not set to minimum or muted.
  • Try connecting the headset to a different USB port or another computer to rule out a port or system issue.
• Poor Audio Quality:
  • Ensure the microphone is properly positioned.
  • Check for any software conflicts or background applications that might be affecting audio.
• USB Connector Issues:
  • Inspect the USB connector for any visible damage. A damaged connector can lead to intermittent or no connection.
