Fitting Your Headset
Wearing your headset properly is paramount to achieving both comfort and the best performance from your new ANR headset. The
headset should be placed on your head and slowly pulled
down so that each ear cup is properly positioned over each ear for maximum
noise attenuation.
The headband can be tightened or loosened by using the hand adjustable knurled knobs on the slides of the headband so that it fits
your head properly. It shou
ld apply slight pressure on your head without being snug. You may need to make your final adjustments in
a high noise environment and with the ANR electronics turned on.

microphone should be placed at the corner of your mout
h approximately 1/4´away from the lips.
