Advisories.
Please read the information in this booklet carefully and
completely before using your headset. Keep these
instructions and make them easily accessible to all other
users. Always include this booklet when giving this
headset to third parties.
In an unlikely event of a problem with your headset, it
is recommend to switch to an alternate communication
method and to use standard cockpit resource
management skills to minimize distraction.
Your aircraft sounds such as engines, propellers, warning
alarms, and other sound sources may sound dierently
when using a new headset.
When listening to an audio source via your Faro G2
headset, please limit the volume to safe levels to ensure
you are able to hear communication and warning alarms
from your aircraft.
Do not attempt to disassemble or service inside of the ear
cups or others parts of the headset. This will void your
warranty and may result in unexpected performance of
your headset.

Getting Started.
Adjusting your head pad.
Adjustment for a personalized t on the G2 is simple and
easy. Proper t is important both for comfort and optimal
noise reduction.
1. Loosen the thumb
knobs on the headset
rails.
2. Place the headset on.
3. Adjust the pressure by
moving the ear cups up or down so it is completely
over your ear. It should produce an even, gentle
pressure all around each ear.
4. Tighten the thumb knobs when appropriate t is
found.

Adjusting your microphone.
G2 microphone can be rotated to be placed on the right
or the left side of the headset.
To adjust the
microphone placement,
rotate the microphone
from its base and bend
the exible boom.
For clear and crisp
communication, the microphone should be placed
approximately 1/8” from the lips.

Getting Started.
Battery Type.
Faro G2 requires two AA batteries. Use Alkaline batteries
from trusted brands for best performance. Rechargeable
batteries are discouraged because they provide an
uneven voltage power which interferes with ANR.
Your G2 headset will continue its basic
operations of hearing and transmitting without batteries.
Please do not mix old and new batteries together.
Battery Life.
A set of brand new Alkaline batteries can provide up to 30
hours of battery life. However, the exact duration
depends on the amount of noise reduction required in
your cockpit. To maximize battery life, turn o ANR when
headset is not in use.
