User Guide

Advisories.
Please thoroughly read this booklet before using
your Audio Link. Keep these instructions easily
accessible for all users. When sharing this device
with third parties, always provide the booklet.
In the unlikely event of a problem with your
Audio Link, it is recommended that you switch
to an alternate communication method and use
standard cockpit resource management skills to
minimize potential distractions.
Please be aware that aircraft sounds, such as:
engines, propellers, and warning alarms, etc.,
may sound dierent when using your new
headset.
When listening to an audio source via your Faro
Audio Link, please limit the volume to safe levels
to ensure you are able to hear your aircraft’s
communication and warning alarms.
Do not attempt to disassemble or service the
inside of the ear cups or other parts of the
headset. Doing so will void your warranty
and may result in unexpectedly poor headset
performance.
