Typically, if you turn up a headset's game volume, the incoming chat level from other players could become difficult to hear over the game sound. However, with Chat Boost, as the game audio increases, the chat volume also increases. When the game volume quiets down again, Chat Boost automatically returns the chat level to your original volume setting. To properly set the Chat Boost function: 1. Turn down the volume control on the headset so there's no game audio. 2. Adjust the volume control on the talkback cable so you can hear the chat voices at a comfortable level. 3. Turn up the headset game volume and the chat volume will increase whenever the game gets louder, just as if the talkback volume control is being automatically turned up along with the game level. Note that if the volume on the talkback cable is set too loud, Chat Boost might increase the volume so much that the voices will distort. If that happens, turn down the talkback volume on the talkback cable. 12

Chat Boost is a dynamic talkback expander built into the X42 headset that automatically increases chat volume during loud
moments in your game, so you can always hear your teammates or other players, regardless of the game volume.
Typically, if you turn up a headset’s game volume, the incoming chat level from other players could become difficult to hear
over the game sound. However, with Chat Boost, as the game audio increases, the chat volume also increases. When the game
volume quiets down again, Chat Boost automatically returns the chat level to your original volume setting.
To properly set the Chat Boost function:
1. Turn down the volume control on the headset so there’s no game audio.
2. Adjust the volume control on the talkback cable so you can hear the chat voices at
a comfortable level.
3. Turn up the headset game volume and the chat volume will increase whenever the game gets louder, just as if the talkback
volume control is being automatically turned up along with the game level. Note that if the volume on the talkback cable
is set too loud, Chat Boost might increase the volume so much that the voices will distort. If that happens, turn down the
talkback volume on the talkback cable.
