The headset complies with the Bluetooth 2.1 standard.
왘 Press and hold the multi-function button until the LED alternately flashes blue and red. 왘 On your audio source, activate the Bluetooth function “Add a new device”. 왘 When the mobile phone prompts for a password or PIN code, enter the default PIN code “0000”. 왘 Proceed as described in the instruction manual of the mobile phone. Once the headset has found the mobile phone, the devices exchange device identification information. The LED flashes 3 times blue. You hear an ascending beep.
Putting the S1 DIGITAL into operation Switching the “Bluetooth connection” flashing on/off To switch the flashing off during an existing Bluetooth connection: 왘 Switch the Bluetooth function off (see page 17). 왘 Press and hold the multi-function button until the LED alternately flashes blue and red. 왘 Briefly press the Volume button. 왘 To make the new setting effective, press and hold the multi-function button until the LED stops flashing.
Using the S1 DIGITAL Using the S1 DIGITAL Individually adjusting the headset and wearing it Adjusting the headband For good noise attenuation and best possible comfort, the headset has to be adjusted to properly fit your head. To do so, you can adjust the headband. 1 Wear the headset so that the headband runs over the top of your head.
Using the S1 DIGITAL Adjusting the contact pressure The S1 DIGITAL allows you to choose your preferred contact pressure setting, which offers a good balance between best possible noise attenuation and still comfortable contact pressure. In order to achieve greater noise attenuation, a higher contact pressure is required. 1 Tilt the ear cups by approx. 45° to release the mechanics of the slide switches. 2 Use the 3-step slide switches to change the contact pressure for each ear cup.
Using the S1 DIGITAL Switching the headset on/off 왘 Set the Power OFF/ON switch to the position ON. ON NoiseGardTM/digital is switched on. The Power LED lights up, indicating the battery charge status or power supply via the on-board DC power supply system. OFF NoiseGardTM/digital is switched off. The Power LED goes off. OFF ON When the S1 DIGITAL, and thus NoiseGardTM/digital, is switched off, it can be used as a conventional, passive headset.
Using the S1 DIGITAL Switching the Bluetooth function off 왘 Press and hold the multi-function button until the LED flashes 3 times red. You hear a descending beep. The Bluetooth function is deactivated. If you switch the Bluetooth function off, NoiseGardTM/digital remains switched on. Adjusting the headset to the listening situation Adjusting the volume WARNING Danger of hearing damage! Listening at high volume levels for long periods can lead to permanent hearing defects.
Using the S1 DIGITAL Switching between mono and stereo mode The control unit features a mono /stereo switch F which allows you to switch between mono and stereo mode, depending on the intercom. 왘 Set the mono /stereo switch F to the desired position: = mono = stereo Using Smart Update The noise level in the cockpit changes depending on the flight situation. Whenever you perceive a change in the noise level (e.g.
Using the S1 DIGITAL Activating the “auto shut-off” function The “auto shut-off” function automatically switches the headset off when it is disconnected from the intercom or when the aircraft avionics are switched off. With the “auto shut-off” function activated, the operating time is increased. The headset is delivered ex-works with the function deactivated. 1 Open the cover of the battery compartment on the control unit. 2 Set the Auto Shut-Off switch to the position ON.
Using the S1 DIGITAL The following switch positions apply to the left and right channel: No treble boost Treble boost – step 1 Treble boost – step 2 Treble boost – step 3 Adjusting the microphone sensitivity The microphone sensitivity has been factory preset to 35 mV/Pa. 왘 Use a slotted screwdriver to adjust the microphone sensitivity.
Using the S1 DIGITAL Remote-controlling connected Bluetooth devices You can directly remote-control any Bluetooth device supporting the AVRCP profile and connected to the S1 DIGITAL by using the buttons on the headset. Please refer to the instruction manual of your audio source for information on whether your Bluetooth device supports the AVRCP profile.
Using the S1 DIGITAL Muting connected Bluetooth devices If the MUTING OFF/ON switch is set to the position ON, any Bluetooth transmission is muted once ATC communications have been established. When the ATC conversation is over, the muting is automatically canceled.
Using the S1 DIGITAL Remote-controlling a mobile phone If your S1 DIGITAL has a Bluetooth connection to your mobile phone, the LED flashes blue when the mobile phone is ringing. You can also hear the ring tone of your mobile phone in the headset if your mobile phone supports this function.
Using the S1 DIGITAL During a call: Button Any button Duration Function 5s Transfers the ongoing call back to the mobile phone 2s Activates the muting function (acknowledgement tone) Deactivates the muting function Resetting the settings of the headsets You can reset all settings of your headset to the factory default settings. In doing so, the connection profiles of the Bluetooth devices used are deleted, thus preventing that other users of the headset can access your Bluetooth enabled devices.
Transporting the S1 DIGITAL Transporting the S1 DIGITAL The headset comes with a transport case. To ensure optimum protection of the headset when not in use or during transport, you should store the headset in the supplied transport case. Folding up the headset For space-saving stowage, e.g. in your pilot’s case, you can fold the headset compactly. 왘 Fold the right ear cup inwards.

Valuable information on NoiseGardTM/digital Valuable information on NoiseGardTM/digital Combination of two NoiseGard strategies Active noise compensation (ANR, NoiseGard) is based on the principle of cancelling out unwanted sound using “anti-sound” (phase-inverted sound). There are two distinct strategies: the feedback (FB) strategy and the feedforward (FF) strategy .
Valuable information on NoiseGardTM/digital e id ts ou e is no FF inside noise anti noise FB Adaptation The NoiseGardTM/digital technology of the S1 DIGITAL uses an innovative approach. The sound captured by the sensing-microphones is analyzed to calculate the optimum control circuit settings. This calculation is carried out by a highperformance signal processor using a fully-adaptive algorithm.
Valuable information on NoiseGardTM/digital When compared with other adaptive technologies that are on the market, the particular strength of the fully-adaptive FF-NoiseGard is its ability to cancel broadband noise and not just individual tonal components. Cockpit noise consists of a mixture of broadband noise components and individual tonal components (e.g. the fundamentals and harmonics of propeller rotation).
