User instructions
Unscrew and remove battery lid.Insert the two 1.5 volt batteries which are provided.Check that the
+ and - terminals face the right direction.
Headband:
Pull out the cups and adjust the headset over the ears so that the sealing pads completely surround
the ears. Adjust the height of both cups while holding down the band until you have a comfortable
fit. The band should fit straight on top of your head.
Helmet attachment:
Fit the helmet attachment in the hard-hat slot until it clicks into place.
During use, the wire bands must be pushed in until they click on both sides, from ventilation to
operating position. Check that the cup and wire band do not chafe against the harness or hard-hats
edge when in the operating position, otherwise this may cause noise penetration.
Note:The cups can be set to three positions, operational, ventilation and standby.
Important: For best protective effect, move away hair from around the ears so that the sealing cups
fit tightly on the head. Spectacle arms should be as thin as possible and fit close to the
head.
Turn on the volume control and adjust the required channel with the channel knob on the right cup.
The right cup also has a manual stereo-mono switch which can be set to mono for best reception
when the transmission signal is weak, for example when entering deep into a building. With this
switch in stereo, the receiver automatically switches between stereo and mono depending on the
strength of the transmission signal.
