Note

  • Usage hours may be different from the time described above depending on the settings for the headset functions and usage conditions.
  • The left or right headset unit works as the main headset unit, so it consumes the rechargeable battery faster than the other unit. There is a difference in remaining battery charge between the left and right headset units, but this is not a malfunction.
    The left or the right headset unit can be the “main headset unit” depending on the usage environment.
