The FreeCom 3000 aviation headset is supplied with generic ear shells for immediate use.

The purchase of this headset also entitles you to one (either left or right) custom ear mold

(excluding the cost of having this ear impression made). The use of this custom mold will bring

even greater wearing comfort.

The following information in this User Guide is based on the use of FreeCom 3000 with its

custom ear mold. To t the supplied generic ear shell please refer to the “User Guide for

Assembly” document supplied with your headset.

FreeCom 3000 is ultra-lightweight and allows reliable and clear communication, even in noisy

environments.

The FreeCom 3000 system consists of an ear mold (either left or right ear). This ear mold is

a hollow shell manufactured from clinical nylon and oers an unsurpassed level of comfort.

This mold is also long lasting, due to its outstanding resistance to chemical, mechanical and

thermal eects.

An earJackTM adapter, which contains the ear speaker and the boom microphone, simply clicks

into the ear mold. A cable then runs to a Quick Disconnect (QD) connector, which is in turn

plugged into a FreeCom Adapter (sold separately), allowing you to connect your FreeCom 3000

to your aircraft’s audio panel.

1 Product Overview

uPut on, adjust, clean and maintain your headset in accordance with these instructions.

uThe ear mold is reusable. It should be inspected regularly for serviceability.

uThe material and design of the ear mold is long-lasting. Nevertheless, the shape of your ear

canal may change over time (e.g. if your body weight changes significantly).

uFreeCom 3000 is equipped with a built-in ear speaker for reproducing sound. Verify that

this feature is operating correctly before use and ensure that the sound emitted does not

exceed the values known to constitute a risk to hearing.

uCertain chemical substances may be harmful to this product. Contact the manufacturer

for more information.

uKeep your clean FreeCom 3000 in the pouch provided before and after use, as well as during

transport. Store in a dry place at temperatures not below -20°C or above +60°C.

Your headset should not be used when there is a risk that the connecting cords

could become caught up during use.

Never use the device without the earJack™ adapters correctly inserted into the

custom-made ear molds. Verify that it is mounted according to these instructions

before use.

3.1 Wearing the system

uThe ear mold to your FreeeCom 3000 headset is marked black with an acronym of your name,

and is either for your right or your left ear (depending on which mold you had made).

uInsert the ear mold into your outer ear with the opening pointing into your ear canal 1.

uTwist the ear mold slightly to insert it fully into your ear 2. Ensure that it holds firmly in

your outer ear and forms a good seal 3.

uAdjust the boom microphone to sit within 1 cm of your mouth, close to your upper lip. Ensure

that the microphone sound inlet, marked with a white dot points towards your mouth 9.

uSet the output volume on the aircraft audio panel to the minimum level before connecting

the FreeCom 3000.

3.2 Removing the system

uHold the ear mold by the earJackTM and withdraw it carefully from your ear, using a slow

forward movement to avoid a rapid pressure drop.

3.3 Maintaining the system

uDismount the earJack™ adapter from the ear mold by pressing the snap lock springs

together 4and withdrawing the adapter, starting from the top 5.

uClean and disinfect the ear mold with soap and water. Never use water or other liquid to clean

the earJack™ adapters or the boom microphone. Let your ear mold dry fully before use.

3 Instructions For Use 3 Instructions For Use

uReconnect the earJack™ adapters into the ear mold by first hooking the lower hinge of the

earJack™ adapter into the mold 6, then pushing the upper part firmly in until it clicks 7.

By correctly mounting the adapter, you will ensure a tight seal and proper operation of the

headset's hearing protection.

The FreeCom 3000 is equipped with a boom microphone to pick up the user’s voice for

communication. The microphone has close-talk, directional characteristics to provide maximum

suppression of ambient noise. The earJack™ adapter that features the boom microphone can be

attached to either your left or right ear mold. When using FreeCom 3000 products in outdoor

environments, foam windscreens signicantly reduce the wind noise generated by turbulence

around the microphone. A foam windscreen sleeve can be pulled over the microphone. Check

that the front microphone inlet (with the white dot on the microphone) still points toward the

mouth after mounting the sleeve.

4.1 Use / Mounting / Removing of windscreen

uTo keep the windscreen in position, the boom microphone is equipped with a Velcro part 8.

uTo mount the windscreen to, or remove it from, the boom microphone, lift the windscreen

over the Velcro part and pull it on or remove it from the microphone 8 .
