ARNING
To avoid unpairing of existing Headsets, previously paired
Headsets must be ON and connected before pairing a
new Headset.
1. The unterminated end of the supplied charging cable assembly
and fuse assembly must be wired to the vehicle per the diagram
above.
2. Observe correct polarity when connecting the charger cable to
12V from the vehicle. Connect the RED wire to +12V and the
BLACK wire to battery chassis ground. This will result in a positive
center terminal of the charger jack as shown in the illustration.
3. Charge Headset completely before use with vehicle power 12V
supply or supplied wall mount charger.
4. For maximum battery shelf life, turn OFF the Headset.
Wall Adapter Charging
Only charge the Headset using the supplied 12VDC regulated wall
adapter. Using unregulated wall adapters will damage the Headset
charging circuit and components and void the warranty.
Vehi le Charging
Note: Make fuse no further than 18" from the battery.
Note: Only replace fuse with the same type, 1.5A A U.

Noise Redu tion
This Sonetics Headset provides 24dB noise attenuation when properly fitted. Any
modification to the Headset will reduce the Headset performance and hearing
damage could occur. Always wear hearing protector in areas that have been
identified as high noise locations.
Federal law requires the following statements:
“Although hearing protectors can be recommended for protection against the
harmful effects of impulsive noise, the Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) is based on
the attenuation of continuous noise and may not be an accurate indicator of the
protection attainable against impulsive noise such as gunfire.”
“The level of noise entering a person’s ear, when a hearing protector is worn as
directed, is closely approximated by the difference between the A-weighted
environmental noise level and the NRR.”
Example
1. The environmental noise level as measured at the ear is 92dBA.
2. The NRR is 24dB.
3. The level of noise entering the ear is approximately equal to 92dBA – NRR or 68dB.
“For noise environments dominated by frequencies below 500 Hz, the
C- weighted environmental noise level should be used.”
FCC/IC Complian e
This device complies with FCC Part 15 Rules and IC RSS-213 Rules. Operation of
this is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference.
2. This device must accept any interference that may be received, including
