Maintenance
Low Battery/Replacing Batteries
The NoizeBarrier
®
TAC headset uses two AAA batteries to control situational
awareness (talk-through). Batteries are not required for radio communication.
At approximately 30 minutes of battery life remaining, the headset will present an
audible tone to the user indicating that there is low battery life. This will repeat every
2 minutes until the batteries are depleted.
Replace the batteries following the Battery Installation Instructions on page 6. Be sure
the headset is powered off before replacing the batteries.
If you purchased a NoizeBarrier
®
Helmet Mount Kit for either Team Wendy
®
or ARC
helmets and need to remove the spare battery from the compartment please see page 11.
NOTE: The situational awareness feature of the NoizeBarrier
®
TAC will continue to
function if the batteries in the headset are depleted or missing, as long as the headset
is connected to the radio using the Multi-Port Hub PTT.
Replacing the Ear Seals
(Figures 11-15)
The ear seals are mounted in a removable frame for easy replacement.
1. Remove the ear seal by sliding
fingers under the inside of the frame
and pulling it straight out with a firm
motion.
2. The foam liner inside the ear seal will
fall out. Replace it with a new one.
3. Position a new ear seal over the ear
cup. Align the TOP of the ear seal
with the TOP label inside the ear cup.
4. Press firmly to squeeze the ear seal
into the cup until it snaps into place.
