(Figures 12-16)
(Parts: C102359BK, C102359FD, C102359OD; C102365BK,

The OTTO NoizeBarrier TAC headset can easily convert from over-the-head use to be
able to mount on helmet rails with the use of the optional helmet
mounting kit. The helmet mount kit also includes a compartment
for a spare battery on each ear cup. Follow the steps below to con
-
vert to rail mounting:
1. Identify the ear cup cross-over cable that runs along the rear
of the headband. Pull the cross-over cable out from under the
lip on the headband so that it hangs free
(Figure 17).
2. Holding an ear cup with one hand, with the other hand firmly
grasp the plastic adjustment frame where it attaches to the
ear cup. Pull the adjustment frame off the pivot point on the
ear cup, being careful not to pull on the wire form portion of
the adjustment frame. The frame will unsnap from the reten
-
tion ball on the ear cup
(Figure 18).
3. Repeat the operation on the frame on the other side of the
same ear cup.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 on the other ear cup to fully remove
the headband.
5.
Position the rail mount over the ear cup and snap the rail
mount frames onto the pivot points on
the ear cups
(Figure 19)
. NOTE: The spare
battery compartment on the rail mount
frames should be positioned at the top of
the frame.
6. Attach the other rail mount to the other
ear cup.
7. Slide the ear cups on to the rails as shown. They may be posi
-
tioned either on the top or rear rails. Be
sure that the cross-over cable sits at the
rear of the headset (behind the head)
and that the boom microphone faces
the front of the helmet
(Figure 20).
8. To remove spare battery from the com
-
partment, remove the helmet mount.
Holding the mount by its wire form, sharply strike the mount
into the palm of the hand with the battery facing the palm. The
battery will eject from the holder into the user’s hand
(Figure
21).
