Hint
- You can also enable or disable the noise canceling function, and change the settings of the noise canceling function and Ambient Sound Mode with the “Sound Connect” app.
-
The “Sound Connect” app allows you to set a combination of the following three modes. If you select multiple modes, you can switch between them sequentially by tapping the touch sensor on the left side.
- Noise canceling function enabled
- Ambient Sound Mode enabled
- Noise canceling function and Ambient Sound Mode disabled
- When only one headset unit is worn, Ambient Sound Mode is enabled, even if the headset was set to the noise canceling function when you used the headset last. Putting on both headset units will enable the noise canceling function.
Note
- The headset cannot fully perform the noise canceling function unless the supplied earbud tips are used.
- If the headset is not being worn properly in your ears, the noise canceling function may not work correctly. Twist the headset to put it into your ears properly.
- Do not pinch or cover the parts of the headset near the microphones on the left and right headset units with your hands. Functions such as the noise canceling function or Ambient Sound Mode may not work properly or the headset unit may make a beeping sound (feedback). If this happens, remove your hand or any other object from the left or right microphone area.
