still ‘ON”, the Noise Cancelling feature will automatically disable to save
the battery life.
- If you pull the earphones back out from the neckband housing, and the
NC switch is still ‘ON,’ the Noise Cancelling function will resume.
4) Cautions upon using Noise Cancelling Feature
- Noise Cancelling cannot be used when the battery is completely drained.
- Use while driving or walking will prevent outside noise, such as signals
or alarms, from being heard and may be dangerous to yourself and
others. Heed caution during use.
- Noise Cancelling is optimized for mechanical noises from airplanes,
buses, and subway trains and is not required for use within quiet interior
environments.
