Important Safety Instructions
WARNINGS/CAUTIONS
• Do NOT use the headphones with noise canceling mode
at any time the inability to hear surrounding sounds may
present a danger to yourself or others, e.g., while riding a
bicycle or walking in or near trac, a construction site or
railroad, etc.
• Keep batteries out of reach of children.
• Please dispose of used batteries properly, following any
local regulations.
• Danger of explosion if batteries are incorrectly replaced.
• Batteries may cause a fire or chemical burn if mishandled.
Do not recharge, disassemble, heat, or incinerate.
• When a replacement is needed, use only a AA (LR06)
alkaline batteries.
Please read and save this guide
Please read this guide carefully. Save this guide for future
reference and make it easily accessible for passengers and
third parties who use this headset.
• Switch to an alternate communications method in the
event of a headset issue.
In the unlikely event of any headset issue or failure in
the passive noise reducing mode, switch to an alternate
communications method and use standard cockpit resource
management skills to minimize distractions.
• Use the headset at a moderate volume level.
To avoid hearing damage, use the headset at a comfortable,
moderate volume level. Limit the headset volume to
safe levels that do not interfere with your ability to hear
informational sounds and warning alarms, such as stall
warnings or gear up, while piloting.
• Turn the headset o if it emits any loud noise.
As with any complex electronic device, it is possible for this
headset to fail during operation. Symptoms of failure, which
may include loud tones, distortion, feedback squeals and
loss of communications signal in the headset, can occur in
either the Acoustic Noise Cancelling mode (turned on) or
in the passive mode (turned o). If the headset emits any
loud noise and the related loss of communications in the
Acoustic Noise Cancelling mode, turn o the power switch.
The headset will continue to provide communications in the
passive noise-reducing mode. If the problem persists, see
the Troubleshooting section in the Bose ProFlight Series 2
Aviation Headset owner’s guide.
• Be aware of sound dierences while wearing the headset.
With the headset’s active and passive noise reduction, typical
aircraft sounds (such as engines, propellers, warning alarms,
and other sound sources) may not sound familiar. Make sure
you can hear and recognize these sounds when using the
headset while operating any aircraft.
• Do NOT make phone calls while piloting.
Do not use the headset for telephone calls during
flight operations.
• Make sure your aircraft communications system volume
control is easily accessible.
This control aects the strength of the communications
signal coming into the headset. Make sure you can
understand critical communications even with Acoustic
Noise Canceling mode turned o. In this case, you may need
to turn up the aircraft communications system volume. In
passive mode, the volume controls on the control module
will automatically be set to maximum volume. For additional
volume control, use the intercom or radio volume control.
If your headset is aircraft powered, connect the headset to
the aircraft power sources only as described in the Bose
ProFlight Series 2 Aviation Headset owner’s guide.
• Make sure portable devices do not interfere with the
aircraft’s navigation and communication systems.
It is the pilot’s responsibility to ensure that portable
devices do not interfere with the aircraft’s navigation and
communication systems, as well as to determine if the
portable device is suitable for use with the headset.
• Use only AA alkaline batteries.
To avoid risk of explosion, replace the batteries only with
AA alkaline batteries. Properly dispose of used batteries.
• Do NOT repair the headset yourself.
Contact the Bose organization in your country/region for
specific care, return and shipping instructions.
Visit: global.Bose.com
• Do not use the headset with a helmet or as part of a crash
protection system.
The headset is not intended for such use, and has not been
certified for crash protection. Dismantling, reassembly or
modification of the headset, or any part, for use in a helmet
or other crash protection system could result in severe
bodily injury and such unauthorized use will void the limited
product warranty.
• Do NOT immerse the headset or any parts in water or any
other liquid.
See the Bose ProFlight Series 2 Aviation Headset owner’s
guide for cleaning instructions.
Contains small parts which may be a choking hazard.
Not suitable for children under age 3.
This product contains magnetic material. Consult
your physician on whether this might aect your
implantable medical device.
• Do NOT expose this product to dripping or splashing, and
do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on or
near the product.
• Do NOT make unauthorized alterations to this product.
• Do not expose products containing batteries to excessive
heat (e.g. from storage in direct sunlight, fire or the like).
