What is noise-canceling?

• The noise-canceling circuit actually senses outside noise with built-in microphones and sends an equal-but opposite canceling signal to the unit.
• The noise-canceling effect may not be pronounced in a very quiet environment, or some noise may be heard.
• Depending on how you wear the unit, the noise-canceling effect may vary or a beeping sound (howling) may occur. In these cases, take off the unit and put it on again.
• The noise-canceling function works for noise in the low-frequency band primarily. Although noise is reduced, it is not canceled completely.
• When you use the unit in a train or a car, noise may occur depending on street conditions.
• Mobile phones may cause interference and noise. Should this occur, locate the unit further away from the mobile phone.
•  Do not cover the microphones of the unit (1) with your hands. The noise-canceling function or the Ambient Sound Mode may not work properly, or a beeping sound (howling) may occur. In these cases, take your hands off of the microphones of the unit (Fig. D).

On wearing the unit

• After use, remove the headphones slowly.
• Because the headphones are of a high-density enclosure, forcing them against your ears may result in eardrum damage.

Pressing the headphones against your ears may produce a diaphragm click sound. This is not a malfunction.
