User’s Manual
Ensure that the headset cable does not conflict with the normal operation and freedom of
movement of the aircraft flight controls.
Do not wear the headset with ear tips inserted if you may need to hear noises outside the
aircraft. For example, when starting the engine in a general aviation aircraft, do not insert
both ear tips until after you have started the engine, so that you can hear noises such as
someone yelling to you from outside the aircraft.
Replace your ear tips if they appear to be soiled or contaminated. Do not share your ear tips
with other users.
Inspect the ends of your ear tips for any blockages prior to each flight. Ensure the ear tips
are firmly attached to the plastic couplers, and the plastic couplers are firmly attached to
the acoustic tubes, to prevent the ear tips from detaching in the ear canal. If this occurs,
seek medical attention.
Do not store the headset in direct sunlight, such as on the aircraft’s dashboard, especially
during hot weather.
Please carefully read all information in this manual prior to using the headset.
If you suspect a problem with the operation of your headset, follow standard lost
communications procedures. Always ensure a backup means of communication is available
(such as a cockpit handheld mic and speaker, or another spare headset).
Be prepared that some aircraft sounds (such as engine noise or aural warnings) may sound
different than they did with headsets you may have previously used.
Use caution to ensure that your volume controls are set to a safe listening volume. Ensure
the volume controls are set to the minimum setting prior to plugging in the headset.
The headset contains small parts (such as the foam ear tips) that could pose a choking
hazard. Do not allow children under the age of six to access the headset.
Do not attempt to disassemble the headset, including the capsules containing the speakers
or the volume control box. Any attempt to disassemble the headset will invalidate the
warranty and may result in degraded headset performance.
Due to the lighter-than-normal clamping force of the AXIS headset, we do not recommend
its use during aerobatic flight operations.
The headset does not automatically mute the AUX input when there are incoming radio
communications. You must ensure that the AUX input volume (e.g., on your phone) is low
enough to avoid interference with radio communications.

HOW DO I PROPERLY INSERT MY EAR TIPS?
For effective noise reduction, it is ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL that you properly insert the ear tips.
It may take some trial and error, but when they’re properly inserted, you should get a level of noise
reduction that meets or exceeds traditional headsets:
1Roll the ear tip in between your fingers

Configuration

3While holding your ear up, use your other hand to insert the rolled-up tip deep into
the ear (while still maintaining the ability to pull the ear plug out if needed).
Pull the top of your ear upwards with one
hand to straighten out the ear canal
Visit axisheadset.com/eartips to see a video demonstrating the proper technique.
If none of the supplied ear tips provide sufficient noise reduction, please contact us to discuss
alternative solutions.
Let go of your ear, then hold the ear tip in
place while the foam expands in your ear,
creating a tight seal. Be patient! This could
take 10-20 seconds.
VERY IMPORTANT!

HOW DO I CHANGE MY EAR TIPS?
Ensure your hands are clean prior to handling your ear tips.
To replace the default Comply™ tip with a 3M™ foam ear tip, note that you must use the smaller
sized coupler and follow these steps.
1Pull off the Comply™ tip and its coupler together. It requires some force to
remove the coupler from the tube. Don't worry, you won't break it.
Obtain the smaller coupler provided in the "Foam Eartips - Medium" bag.

Connect one end of the coupler to the black plastic tube on the yellow eartip, and
connect the other end to the black acoustic tube.
Ensure that the new ear tip is firmly secured to the plastic coupler!
WHEN SHOULD I REPLACE MY EAR TIPS?
The ear tips should be replaced if they no longer compress/expand properly, if they become soiled, or
if another person will be using the headset.
Acoustic Tubing & Dampers
EAR TIP ACOUSTIC TUBE
The headset includes two sets of acoustic tubes.
The short ones should be used when wearing the headset on the head.
The long ones should be used when the headset is worn around the neck.

The ear tips are attached to the end of the acoustic
tubes via plastic couplers:
