Package contents • • • • • Detailed, linear sound reproduction for demanding applications Flexible microphone boom, can be worn on either left or right-hand side Noise-compensating dynamic microphone ensures excellent speech transmission (HMD 26-II/HMDC 26-II) Omni-directional condenser microphone with extremely linear frequency response (HME 26-II) Single-sided cable, easy to replace Package contents 1 HMD 26-II / HME 26-II / HMDC 26-II / HD 26 PRO 1 cable clip 1 wind and pop screen (except HD 26 PRO) 1
Operation Operation Turning the microphone boom The microphone boom can be rotated, allowing the microphone to be worn on the left or right-hand side of the head. Putting on the headset When putting on the headset, the patented twopiece headband adjusts automatically.
Operation Positioning the microphone Bend the flexible microphone boom so that the microphone is placed at the corner of the mouth. Maintain a distance of 2 cm between microphone and mouth. Always use the supplied wind and pop screen. Do not position the microphone directly in front of your mouth as it will pick up your breathing and plosive noises from your mouth. In addition, moisture can adversely affect the sound and performance of your microphone.
Operation Flipping away one ear cup The headset’s “flip-away” ear cup can be flipped backwards by approx. 45°, allowing for singled-sided listening. approx. 45° Connecting the HD 26 PRO headphones to the audio system 왘 If necessary, screw the screw-on adapter for ¼“ (6.3 mm) jack plug onto the 3.5 mm jack plug. 6.3 mm 3.
Operation Adjusting the volume on the audio system Connect the headset to the corresponding sockets of your audio system. 왘 Adjust the volume directly on the audio system. CAUTION Hearing damage due to high volumes! This headset is capable of producing high sound pressure levels. Higher volumes or longer durations can damage your hearing! 왘 Set the volume to a medium level. Make sure that you can hear critical environmental sounds.
Operation Switching ActiveGard™ on and off (HME 26-II/HMD 26-II/HD 26 PRO) ActiveGard™ safeguards your ears from volume peaks above 105 db, which can be transmitted via the audio system or radio equipment. 왘 Slide the switch for the ActiveGard™ function to the desired position by using a pointed object: Position Function up ActiveGard™ is switched off (factory default setting). down ActiveGard™ is switched on.

Operation Powering NoiseGard™ via two (rechargeable) batteries 왘 Insert two 1.5 V AA alkaline batteries (IEC LR 6) or two 1.2 V AA rechargeable batteries (IEC LR 6). Observe correct polarity when inserting the batteries. The operating time with batteries/rechargeable batteries is approx. 60 hours. With NoiseGard™ switched on, the LED 2 provides information on the remaining battery/ rechargeable battery capacity: LED 2 Meaning lights up yellow The battery capacity is sufficient.
