OrientationoftheStealthDuringUsage

WhenpositioningtheStealth,thevolumebuttonsonthewingbladeshouldbefacing
downwards,whiletheprimarybuttonshouldbeontheleftsideofthethroatandthe
acousticcoilor3.5mmmoduleattachmentshouldbeonrightside.


Charging

TheStealthcomesshippedfromourfacilitieswithitsbatteryalreadychargedandready
foruse.

Whenchargingisneeded,connecttheincludedUSBcabletothemicro‐USBport
coveredbythePrimaryButtonCap.**

Toaccessthechargingport,removethePrimaryButtonCapbyturningitcounter‐
clockwise.Afullchargetakesabout90minutestocompleteandaredLEDwillremainlit
untilitisfullycharged.PleasenotetochargewithacomputerUSBportonly.

Fastchargers(>500mA)willdamagetheStealth’schargingmechanism.Toavoid
damagetothebattery,refrainfromdrainingthebatterycompletelyandleavingit
unchargedforanextendedamountoftime.

**Withtheringandcapremoved,thesmokedsiliconecapcanbereplacedwiththe
includedsolidblacksiliconepiecetomasktheindicatorLEDforcertainapplications.

Pairing

TheIASUSStealthusesstandardBluetooth4.0protocols.Whenpairedwithnewer
devices,thereisnoneedtoenterapasscode.ForolderBluetoothequippeddevices,the
codeis“0000”.Thedevicenameis“StealthHeadset”.


PairingSecondDevice

TheStealthallowsforpairingwithtwoBluetoothenableddevicesatthesametime,
suchasanothersmartphone,GPS,mp3player,etc.

Topairaseconddevice,aftertheStealthispairedwiththefirstdevice,holdtheprimary
buttonfor3secondstogetintopairingmodetopairwiththeseconddevice.(Doingthis
willdisconnecttheStealthfromthefirstdevice)Gotoyourfirstdevice’sBluetooth
settingsandmanuallyconnectitbacktotheStealth.


PhoneUse

Oncepairedforstandardcommunicationwithamobiledevice,theprimarybuttonis
usedtoanswer/endaphonecall.Thetwobuttonsunderneaththe“wingblade”arefor
volume+and‐.Oncepressedandreleased,abeepconfirmsthechangeinvolume.


VolumeDuringMusicPlaybackandCalling

Duringmusicplayback,theStealth’svolumelevelisindependentofthephone’s
Bluetoothvolume.Duringaphonecall,theyarelinked.ThisisnormalinbothAcoustic
CoilandHelmetSpeaker/3.5mmconfigurations.Ifyouexperiencelowvolumeduring
musicplayback,besurethevolumeisturneduponyourphoneaswellasonthe
Stealth.

Forexample,whenadjustingtheStealth’svolumeduringmusicplayback,thephone’s
Bluetoothvolumeisnotaffected.However,duringaphonecall,adjustingtheStealth’s
volumeaffectsthephone’sBluetoothvolumeaswell.


InterchangeableAudioModule

TheStealthcanoperatewithouracousticcoilorhelmetspeakerswhichusethe3.5mm
recess/thinaudioconnector.Thisisdonebyinstallingtheappropriateaudiomodule.

Toproperlyattachthesemodules,theyneedtobeturnedclockwiseandtightenedvery
firmlyuntiltheIASUSlogoishorizontalandrightsideup.Thispositionensuresproper
alignmentwiththecontacts.Note:Itshouldbetightenedtothepointwhereitwillnot
turnanymoreinorderforthesiliconringtomaintainawaterproofseal.

Whenconnectingthehelmetspeaker’s3.5mmjack,besuretoinserttheplugallthe
wayintothejackuntilaclickisfelttoensurethewaterproofsealhasbeenestablished.


MagneticBreakawayClasp

TheStealthneckstrapisequippedwithamagneticbreakawayclasp.Itisdesignedfor
emergencysituationswherearapidreleaseoftheheadsetisrequiredbypullingon
eitherstrapawayfromtheothertodisengage.

Undernormalusage,separatethetopclaspfromthebaseclaspwithalighttwisting
motion–Onlyaverylightforceisrequired.Disengagingtheclaspsanyotherwayduring
normaleverydayusageisunnecessaryandnotrecommended.


ThroatMicOptimization

Foruserswithnopriorexperiencewiththroatmics,pleasekeepinmindthesound
qualitywillneverbeasclearasastandardphone.Thisisbecausetheaudioiscreated
fromvibrationsofthelarynxthroughthebodyofthethroat.Sinceairisnotthe
medium,nasalsoundswillbeabsent.Basically,theaudioqualityissimilartoaperson
withacold,hencethe“muffled”soundthatiscommonlyassociatedwiththroatmics.
Thatbeingsaid,theStealthbenefitsfromavastimprovementofsoundqualitythrough
ourin‐houseadvancement.

ItisimportanttonotetoNOTHAVETHETHROATMICANDSTRAPTOOTIGHTAROUND
THENECK.Whenwornproperly,theneckstrapshouldrestonthebackoftheneckand
onlyverylittlepressureshouldbefelt.

BackgroundNoiseThroughMulti‐MicMobileDevices

Ithasbeenbroughttoourattentionthatmanynewmobiledevicesonthemarkettoday
havemultiplemics,whichareusedinconjunctionwithwiredheadsetandBluetooth
headsetmodes.Fortraditionalcondensermics,thisallowsthephonetohelpcancelout
backgroundnoises.However,thesemobiledevices,bydesign,havethetendencyto
naturallypickupslightbackgroundvoicesandcertainsoundswhentheuserisnot
speakingintoathroatmic.Oncethethroatmicisbeingused,thebackgroundnoiseis
againsuppressedbythemobilephone’sinternalsystem;thereforeitshouldnotaffect
anycommunication.
