Positioning the Headset
(Figures 22-24)
The rail system mount has two positions. The first position is
outward
(Figure 22)
. In this position the ear cups sit slightly off
the head for comfort. The second position is inward to provide
contact with the head and a solid seal around the ears when in a
noisy environment.
To engage the ear cups against the head, press the palms of the
hands inward against the wire form adjustment frames until they
snap into the inward position against the head
(Figure 23)
. This is
best accomplished by pushing against
the bend in the wire frames—pushing
inward on the ear cups WILL NOT en

gage the inward detent.
To release the headset to the outward
position, squeeze the wire forms to

gether
(Figure 24)
. This will release the
adjustment frames to swing outward.
