User Guide for Passive & Active Noise Canceling Models
Congratulations on your purchase of the Flightcom Denali aviation headset. Our extremely
lightweight headset offers exceptional active and passive noise attenuation, a secure and
comfortable fit, and extremely reliable performance.
Denali’s Active Noise Reduction (ANR) model also comes factory direct with our Sure
Power System (SPS), a digital power management circuit. The SPS conserves battery life
by shutting off the ANR circuit when not in use.
The Denali is engineered to fit unlike any other aviation headset, providing excellent
passive and active noise attenuation, a secure and comfortable fit, and extremely reliable
performance. Because Denali offers such unique fitting adjustments, especially in the
gimbal rotation of each of the canted ear domes, it is extremely important to take the
time to review the fitting instructions outlined in this guide. By reading the fitting
instructions carefully, it will ensure that the headset fits you and your passengers properly
every time you take off.
Good flying!
Your Flightcom Crew
Important User Information
WARNING:
Do not store your Denali headset in temperatures that exceed 156° Fahrenheit.
Do not leave it in the sun, or hanging on the yoke of your aircraft, or exposed in conditions
where the surface area of the headset might exceed this high temperature.
Under certain conditions, a mic muff might be necessary. A mic muff is provided for your
convenience.
We also recommend that in the interest of hygiene, you replace your ear seals at least
annually.
Fitting Instructions
Denali headsets accommodate the differences in head shapes and sizes of the pilot
population through angled ear domes, the shape and surface area of the ear seal, low
side force and a lightweight design. When worn properly, you will feel very little pressure
on top of the head, which is a refreshing departure from the traditional fit and feel of
an older style aviation headset.
Additionally, personalized fit adjustments can be made in the length of the headband,
the rotation of each ear cup, both side-to-side and up and down, and the placement of
the boom and microphone.
Personalized Headband Adjustments
• Hold the Denali headset in front of you. Place the dome that holds the mic boom in
your left hand.
• Extend the headband to at least its midpoint to full extension.
When you have reached the maximum headband extension, the
headband slider will stop. Make sure you have extended the
headband equally on both sides.
• Place the headset on your head. If the domes feel as if they’re
sitting too low on your ears, starting on one side of the headset,
move the headband slider to a smaller position, ensuring both
sides are adjusted equally.
IMPORTANT:
While wearing the Denali, you should feel very little pressure on top of your
head. THIS IS NORMAL AND OPTIMAL.
If you’re an experienced headset wearer, you may have a tendency
to reduce the headband size until you feel a familiar pressure on
the top of your head or at the top of your jawbone. For Denali,
this indicates you’ve actually reduced the size of the headband
too much. Extend the headband in a downward direction, on both
sides, until the top of the headset seems to "disappear." Check for
a secure fit by shaking your head from side to side. Denali should
remain firmly in place—without creating undue pressure on the top
of the head.
Individual Ear Dome Adjustments
Denali’s ear domes rotate not only in an up and down direction, but also from side-to-side.
This allows for maximum adjustment around the ear and jaw area.
• Once the headset is in place, and the
headband is adjusted properly, you may
want to individually rotate the dome or
ear cup around each ear, to determine
the most comfortable position.
• If during an extended flight you start
to feel a bit of a pressure point, adjust the
ear cup or the length of the headband
to restore comfort.
