Troubleshooting Problem Low rumbling sound with the headset turned on in a quiet environment. What to do • Adjust the earcup fit to create a better seal on your head. The low-force design of the headset makes it sensitive to items that interfere with the seal around your ear. Make sure your ears are completely inside the ear cushions, and that a hat or eyeglasses with thick temples do not interfere with the seal. • Check ports at the outside surface of each earcup to ensure that they are not blocked. If dust or dirt is present, carefully remove the debris using tweezers. Do not blow out or vacuum debris. • Inspect the seal between the ear cushion skirt and the earcup. The skirt should fit into the slot on the earcup with no gaps. Replace any cushions that appear to be worn out. Crackling sound audible with headset turned on in a loud environment, or Acoustic Noise Cancelling® noise reduction is intermittent. • Ensure the headset orientation is correct. Use the Left (L) and Right (R) markings above the earcups to orient the headset correctly. • Adjust the earcup fit. Refer to "Wearing and adjusting the headset" on page 15. • If your headset is battery-powered, check to see if the battery is low (indicated by fast blinking red LED). • If your headset is aircraft powered, make sure the voltage powering the headset is no less than 10 VDC. • Inspect the seal between the ear cushion skirt and the earcup. The skirt should fit into the slot on the earcup with no gaps. Replace any cushions that have surface tears, torn stitching joints, large wrinkles, or have become dried and stiff. Auxiliary audio input Problem No audio from auxiliary source. Audio in one ear only from the auxiliary input. What to do • Turn source volume up. • Try another source with the headset to eliminate the source as the possible problem. • Make sure multifunction switch is not set to the bottom (intercom only) position. The multifunction switch must be either in the top or middle position for audio from an auxiliary input to be enabled. • Check the connection between the auxiliary source and the control module. Both ends of the AUX IN connector cable must be properly seated inside the sockets. • If the multifunction switch is set to the prioritized position (top), the auxiliary audio source will not be heard if there is an audio signal from the intercom. • Check the connection between the auxiliary source and the module. Both ends of the AUX IN connector cable must be properly seated inside the sockets. • Make sure the earcup cover on the headset is in place and properly connected.
