FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
Headband
B:1 Slide out the cups and tilt the top of the shell out, as the
cable must be on the outside of the headband.
B:2 Adjust the height of the cups by sliding them up or down
while holding the headband in place.
B:3 The headband should be positioned across the top of the
head as shown and should support the weight of the headset.
Neckband
B:4 Place the cups in position over the ears.
B:5 Keep the cups in position, place the head strap on the top
of your head and lock it tight in position.

your head and should support the weight of the headset.
Helmet Attachment
B:7 Insert the helmet attachment in the slot on the helmet and
snap it into place (B:8).
B:9 Work mode: Press the headband wires inwards until you
hear a click on both sides. Make sure that the cups and the
headband wires do not press on the edge of the helmet when
in work mode as this could reduce the noise attenuation of
the earmuff.
B:10 Ventilation mode: To switch the unit from work mode to
ventilation mode, pull outward on the ear cups until you hear
a click. Avoid placing the cups against the helmet (B:11) as
this prevents ventilation.
Microphone
(C:1) (C:2) To maximize the performance of the speech
microphone in noisy areas, position the microphone very
close to your mouth (less than 3 mm or 1/8 inch).
Replacing the helmet attachment plate
For proper fitting on different industrial safety helmets, the
helmet attachment plate may need to be replaced. Find the
recommended attachment in Table L. Other plates can be
obtained from your dealer. A screwdriver is needed.
(E:1) Loosen the screw holding the plate.
(E:2) Replace the plate, ensure the plate is turned the right way
and tighten the screw.
