3. Operating the Headset

Adjusting for Comfort:

• Earcup Orientation: Ensure the earcups fully cover your ears for optimal sound and comfort. The padded earcups are designed to conform to your ears.

Using the Microphone:

• Positioning: The rigid microphone boom is located on the left earcup. Rotate the boom to position the microphone approximately 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) from your mouth for the best voice clarity.
• Noise Cancellation: The noise-cancelling feature works best when the microphone is properly positioned.
• Storing the Microphone: When not in use, the microphone boom can be rotated upwards and tucked out of the way.

In-Line Controls:

The headset features an in-line control unit on the cable for quick adjustments:

• Volume Up/Down: Use the (+) and (-) buttons to increase or decrease the listening volume.

• Cleaning Microphone: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the microphone boom.
• Cable Care: Avoid sharply bending or excessively pulling the USB cable. Store the cable neatly when not in use to prevent tangling and damage. The cable is designed to be long for flexibility, but proper handling is recommended.
