Do’s And Don’ts
Your NanoComm GA has been manufactured to extremely high
standards, however, we recommend that you follow these simple steps to
ensure the headset gives high quality un-interrupted performance for
years to come.
Do’s:
Always ensure the white dot shown on the microphone is pointing
toward the mouth. Ensure the mic is placed close to the lips. If the lips
lightly brush the windshield whilst talking then the mic is optimally
positioned.
When connecting the headset to the custom-made earpieces, always
ensure this is done in a horizontal direction. Insert one side rst then
apply gentle pressure to the other side until an audible click is heard (see
diagram 1.1).
When removing the headset from the custom-made earpieces, always
make sure this is done in an upward (vertical) direction (see diagram 1.2).
When not in use, always ensure the NanoComm GA is packed into the
carry case supplied and not subjected to undue rigours.
Ensure earpieces are cleaned on a regular basis. Earpieces can be cleaned
using regular baby wipes or alcohol swaps, available from a chemist.
NEVER SUBMERGE EARPIECES IN WATER.
Don’ts:
Never remove the plugs from the avionic equipment by pulling on the
wires. Always grasp the plugs rmly before pulling.
Never attempt to disconnect the headset from the earpieces by pulling
the cables only.
Never oer your NanoComm GA to another person to use. The earpieces
are custom-made exclusively for you and will not oer the same level
protection or comfort to anyone else.
