cup’s volume can be independently adjusted.
The overall headset volume will be
determined based on the settings on
the headset as well as the aircraft’s
intercom or radio.
Caution: Avoid setting the volume
levels too high. Exposure to loud
sounds may cause hearing damage.
Your G2™ headset can be connected to an external audio source
such as a portal audio device or a portable GPS via the provided
3.5 mm cable.
You will find the auxiliary input
on the opposite ear cup that
holds the microphone.

audio at a volume that ensures
you do not miss any important
communications or aircraft
sounds.
