English TAB 2, 10 TAB 3, 11 TAB 4, 12 TAB 5, 13 TAB 6, 14 TAB 7, 15 TAB 8, 16 Other Considerations QuietComfort® 15 headphones are designed for passenger use on jet aircraft. They are not engineered to meet the needs of pilots and crew members or to meet civil aviation authority standards for communication headsets. For pilots and and crew members who require communication headsets, Bose offers an aviation headset specifically designed to meet or exceed civil authority standards. It features a microphone with the appropriate power and intelligibility for critical communication needs. It is also engineered to withstand the environmental conditions that are common in unpressurized aircraft. WARNING: Except in case of emergency, Bose recommends that you NOT use these headphones as aviation communication headsets because: • No incoming audio will be heard with a discharged or improperly installed battery. This could result in the potential of missed communications while piloting an aircraft. • Extremely loud ambient noise levels common to many propeller-driven aircraft may impair your ability to receive incoming audio communications, particularly during takeoff and climb out. • The QuietComfort 15 headphones are not engineered for noise conditions, altitude, temperature or other environmental conditions common in non-commercial aircraft, resulting in possible interference to critical communications. 7
