Battery door replacement

1.

Slide the battery door down using the finger indent and lift open.

2.

Gently rotate the cover sideways to remove from the control

module.

3.

Insert new door tab, being careful to insert between the metal

spring and plastic housing.

Headband cushion replacement

The headband cushion is designed to give the maximum level of

comfort to your headset.

Please follow the maintenance instructions below for regular care.

Bose recommends that the cushion be replaced after regular care

and maintenance fails to restore the wool pile to its original size and

shape.

To replace the cushion (Figure 23):

1.

On a protected surface, turn the headset upside down. With

another person holding the headset open for you, remove the

old cushion from the magnesium headband.

2.

With the headband still held open, align the center of the new

cushion with the center of the headband and press firmly from

the center toward the outside.
