Cautions and Advisories
Operational advisory
The Bose
®
Aviation Headset X, an active noise reducing (ANR) headset,
is a complex electronic device. As with any complex device, it is
possible for this headset to fail during operation. Failure may include
loud tones, distortion, and loss of communications signal in the
headset when used in the ANR mode. The headset includes redundant
circuitry to reduce the effects of such failures.
Note
: Such failures could prevent continued use of the headset in the
ANR mode.
The headset is in the ANR mode when the control module power
switch, shown in Figures 5 and 6, is set to ON. The headset is in the
passive mode when the power switch is set to OFF.
If you experience loud tones and the related loss of communications,
turn off the power switch. The headset will continue to provide com-
munications in the passive noise attenuation mode.
If you own a battery powered headset, it should be connected only to
the battery power. An aircraft powered headset should be connected
to the aircraft power sources only as described in this guide. The
aircraft powered headset will not operate properly if used with a Bose
Series II battery pack or with any commercial battery pack.
Hearing safety
Note
: The headset is intended to be used with ANR turned on. Noise
reduction and communications performance are reduced with the
headset turned off.
Volume control
The volume controls affect the volume of the communications signal
coming into the headset whether the ANR is on or off. As pilot in
command, you must ensure that with ANR off you can understand
critical communications. You may need to turn up the aircraft commu-
nications system volume when the headset is turned off. The aircraft
communications system volume control should be easily accessible.
Avoid setting the volume controls at levels high enough to impair your
hearing during extended periods of headset use.

Cautions and Advisories
Listening to your aircraft
With the headset’s combination of both active and passive attenuation,
typical aircraft sounds (for example, those from engines, propellers,
warning alarms, and other sound sources) may sound different to you.
We strongly recommend that, as a responsible pilot, you ensure that
you can hear and recognize these sounds when using the Bose
®
Aviation Headset X while operating any aircraft.
Entertainment audio sources
In addition, should you choose to listen to in-flight entertainment
through a Bose Aviation Headset X while piloting, we remind you to
limit the volume to safe levels that do not interfere with your ability to
hear informational sounds and warning alarms, such as stall warnings
or gear up.
Cautions
Protective inner screen
The protective inner screen, shown in Figure 1, is a component critical
to the headset’s ability to reduce noise. Do not attempt to remove,
replace, or repair this screen. If operating problems indicate the need
for screen replacement, contact the Bose Aviation Headset Depart-
ment. If the screen becomes wet or if foreign objects become lodged
on or adjacent to it, proceed as described in General Care and Mainte-
nance.
Earcup TriPort™ maintenance
Proper headset operation requires that the earcup TriPort openings be
kept free of debris. The TriPort openings, shown in Figure 1, are
located on the outside of each earcup and are comprised of two holes
and a screen.
Storage
Do not store the headset in an unventilated area or in direct sunlight. If
the headset is battery powered, remove the battery before storing the
headset for extended periods.
5
Cautions and Advisories
Water damage
Do not attempt to use or repair the headset if it has been immersed in
water. Contact the Bose
®
Aviation Headset Department for assistance.
See the inside back cover for address information.
Chemicals
Certain chemicals may harm the headset. Seek information about
specific chemicals from the chemical manufacturers.

Headset introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the Bose
®
Aviation Headset X. This
headset uses advanced electronic noise reduction circuitry and
acoustical design to reduce aircraft noise. The headset reduces noise
with only slight headband clamping force, and it can be worn comfort-
ably for extended periods.
You may have a battery powered version of the Bose Aviation
Headset X, or an installed version. The illustrations in Figure 1 show
the two different headsets.
