Cautions and Advisories

Operational advisory

The Bose

Aviation Headset X, an active noise reducing (ANR) headset,

is a complex electronic device. As with any complex device, it is

possible for this headset to fail during operation. Failure may include

loud tones, distortion, and loss of communications signal in the

headset when used in the ANR mode. The headset includes redundant

circuitry to reduce the effects of such failures.

Note

: Such failures could prevent continued use of the headset in the

ANR mode.

The headset is in the ANR mode when the control module power

switch, shown in Figures 5 and 6, is set to ON. The headset is in the

passive mode when the power switch is set to OFF.

If you experience loud tones and the related loss of communications,

turn off the power switch. The headset will continue to provide com-

munications in the passive noise attenuation mode.

If you own a battery powered headset, it should be connected only to

the battery power. An aircraft powered headset should be connected

to the aircraft power sources only as described in this guide. The

aircraft powered headset will not operate properly if used with a Bose

Series II battery pack or with any commercial battery pack.

Hearing safety

Note

: The headset is intended to be used with ANR turned on. Noise

reduction and communications performance are reduced with the

headset turned off.

Volume control

The volume controls affect the volume of the communications signal

coming into the headset whether the ANR is on or off. As pilot in

command, you must ensure that with ANR off you can understand

critical communications. You may need to turn up the aircraft commu-

nications system volume when the headset is turned off. The aircraft

communications system volume control should be easily accessible.

Avoid setting the volume controls at levels high enough to impair your

hearing during extended periods of headset use.

Cautions and Advisories

Listening to your aircraft

With the headset’s combination of both active and passive attenuation,

typical aircraft sounds (for example, those from engines, propellers,

warning alarms, and other sound sources) may sound different to you.

We strongly recommend that, as a responsible pilot, you ensure that

you can hear and recognize these sounds when using the Bose

Aviation Headset X while operating any aircraft.

Entertainment audio sources

In addition, should you choose to listen to in-flight entertainment

through a Bose Aviation Headset X while piloting, we remind you to

limit the volume to safe levels that do not interfere with your ability to

hear informational sounds and warning alarms, such as stall warnings

or gear up.

Cautions

Protective inner screen

The protective inner screen, shown in Figure 1, is a component critical

to the headset’s ability to reduce noise. Do not attempt to remove,

replace, or repair this screen. If operating problems indicate the need

for screen replacement, contact the Bose Aviation Headset Depart-

ment. If the screen becomes wet or if foreign objects become lodged

on or adjacent to it, proceed as described in General Care and Mainte-

nance.

Earcup TriPort™ maintenance

Proper headset operation requires that the earcup TriPort openings be

kept free of debris. The TriPort openings, shown in Figure 1, are

located on the outside of each earcup and are comprised of two holes

and a screen.

Storage

Do not store the headset in an unventilated area or in direct sunlight. If

the headset is battery powered, remove the battery before storing the

headset for extended periods.

Cautions and Advisories

Water damage

Do not attempt to use or repair the headset if it has been immersed in

water. Contact the Bose

Aviation Headset Department for assistance.

See the inside back cover for address information.

Chemicals

Certain chemicals may harm the headset. Seek information about

specific chemicals from the chemical manufacturers.

Headset introduction

Congratulations on purchasing the Bose

Aviation Headset X. This

headset uses advanced electronic noise reduction circuitry and

acoustical design to reduce aircraft noise. The headset reduces noise

with only slight headband clamping force, and it can be worn comfort-

ably for extended periods.

You may have a battery powered version of the Bose Aviation

Headset X, or an installed version. The illustrations in Figure 1 show

the two different headsets.
