Note

  • Depending on the ambient conditions and the type/volume of audio playback, ambient sounds may not be heard even when using the Quick Attention Mode. Do not use the headset in places where it would be dangerous if you are unable to hear ambient sounds, such as on a road with car and bicycle traffic.
  • If the headset is not worn properly in your ears, the Quick Attention Mode may not work correctly. Twist the headset to put it into your ears properly.
  • Depending on the size of the earbud tips you use, the Quick Attention Mode may not be fully effective. Choose the size that allows you to hear the least ambient sounds.
