Cleaning the product
Get into the habit of regularly cleaning the product to ensure that it will last for a long time. Do not
use alcohol, paint thinners or other solvents for cleaning purposes.
• To clean, wipe the main unit with a dry cloth.
• Wipe away perspiration and any other dirt from the cable with a dry cloth immediately after
use. Failure to clean the cable may cause it to deteriorate and harden over time, resulting in
malfunction.
• Wipe the plug with a dry cloth if dirty. Failure to clean the plug may cause the sound to cut out and
may cause noise.
• Wipe the earpads and head pad with a dry cloth if dirty. Perspiration or water on the earpads or
head pad may cause discoloration. Wipe with a dry cloth and allow to dry in the shade.
•If the product will not be used for an extended period of time, store it in a well-ventilated place
free from high temperatures and humidity.
•The earpads, head pad, and temple pad are consumable items. They will deteriorate over time
due to use and storage, so replace them when necessary. For information about replacing
earpads, head pad, or other parts, or for information about other serviceable parts, contact your
local Audio-Technica dealer.

Using the product
You can use the microphone on the left or right side of your face by rotating the microphone boom
as shown in the figure.
Positioning the microphone boom
Use the microphone boom and gooseneck to place the microphone in the correct position.
Position the microphone boom so that the
microphone is about 20 mm (0.79”) from the tip of
your mouth. Positioning the microphone directly in
front of your mouth will cause popping and other
noise from breathing.

About Hearing Damage
WARNING!
USE AS LOW A VOLUME AS POSSIBLE. PERMANENT HEARING DAMAGE CAN RESULT FROM
USING THIS PRODUCT AT EXCESSIVE VOLUMES.
For safe operation of this product, do not listen at excessive sound pressure levels.
Most national safety and health administrations have established guidelines for maximum time being
exposed to sound pressure levels before hearing damage occurs.
Sound pressure levels (SPL) Maximum time being exposed
85dB (A) SPL 8 hours
88dB (A) SPL 4 hours
91dB (A) SPL 2 hours
94dB (A) SPL 1 hour
97dB (A) SPL 30 minutes
100dB (A) SPL 15 minutes
120dB (A) SPL avoid or hearing damage may occur
To protect your ears from hearing damage:
• Use the product at the lowest volume possible; turn up the volume only enough to hear.
• Be aware that ringing in your ears may indicate that the volume is set too high.
• Have your ears examined regularly by an audiologist.
• If wax builds up in your ears, stop using the product until you have seen an audiologist.
• Stop using the product if you experience ear discomfort or infection.
