(B) INSTALLING A HEADBAND/HELMET ATTACHMENT
Headband:
(B:1) Slide out the shells. Place them over your ears so that the ear cushions fit snugly.
(B:2) Adjust the height of the shells to a snug, comfortable fit by pulling the shell up or down while holding the headband
down.
(B:3) The headband should lie across the top of the head.
Helmet attachment:
Insert the helmet attachment in the slot on the helmet and snap it into place (see fig. B:4). To switch the unit from
ventilation to working mode, press the headband wires inwards until you hear a click on both sides. Ensure that the
shell and the headband wires in working mode do not press on the edge of the helmet so that noise leakage can
occur.
Note: The shells can be set in two positions: (B:5) working mode and (B:6) ventilation mode.
Important! For the best protection, brush aside hair around the ears so the ear cushions fit snugly against the head.
Spectacle frames should be as thin as possible and fit close to the head.
