Position the microphone approximately 1.5 cm from your

windscreen covers the microphone . Do not use your headset
without it. Replacement windscreens are available from your

You may need to rotate the microphone toward your lips.
Temporarily remove the protective windscreen in order to
determine which side is the front of the microphone.
Do not force the microphone arm beyond its limits.
6Clothing Clip and Quick Disconnect
6.1 Adjusting the Clothing Clip
Use the Clothing Clip to keep the headset properly seated,
free from the weight of the cord. Attach the Clothing Clip to
your clothing at a comfortable level.
To adjust the clip position on most models, squeeze the cord
retainer button and slide the cord through to provide
sufficient slack so that head movements do not disturb the
headset.
6.2 Quick Disconnect
Supra headsets are equipped with a Quick Disconnect
module that allows you to leave your work area to perform
other tasks without removing your headset.
Before attempting to use your headset, be sure that the two
Quick Disconnect halves are connected.
