Microphone Adjustment -

2. For quality sound and effective background noise cancellation, position microphone a finger’s width away from your face just below your bottom lip.

The microphone is sensitive, minor adjustments may be needed to achieve optimum voice quality.

Talk Time mode the yellow light will flash faster, once per second. If the yellow light is not flashing, turn the headset on (see User Guide, page 15). Standby time is up to 100 hours on a full charge. Talk
