1) What is ‘Noise Cancelling’?
- Noise Cancelling refers to a technology that reduces noise from mid/low
pitched sounds under 1kHz.
2) Turn On Noise Cancelling
- The Noise Cancelation function is automatically activated when the device is
powered on or when the audio cable is plugged in. When pressing the Noise
Cancellation button you will activate the Audio Transparency feature which will
allow you to hear the sounds around you better. Press the NC button again and
Noise Cancellation is activated again.
3) Cautions regarding the Noise Cancelling function
- The Noise Cancelling function cannot be used when the battery is completely
discharged or completely empty.
- Using this function while driving or walking could prevent outside noise, such as
signals or alarms, from being heard and may present a hazard to yourself and
others. Proceed with caution when in use.
- Noise Cancelling is optimized for mechanical noises from airplanes, buses,
and subway trains and is not necessary within quiet indoor environments.
1) The AUDIO TRANSPARENCY feature allows you to stop noise cancelling
temporarily so you can hear the surrounding sounds without removing
the headphone.
2) When AUDIO TRANSPARENCY is activated, the noise cancelling function is
stopped and external sounds can be heard.
3) When the NC button is pressed while the noise cancelling function is on, AUDIO
TRANSPARENCY is activated.
Press again to stop the AUDIO TRANSPARENCY.
