It protects your hearing without sacrificing your safety or situational awareness. You can hear alarms, music, or even have a face-to-face conversation while still being protected. Simultaneous integration with two-way radios, cell phones, and MP3 players is available via wired and optional Bluetooth inputs. DECT7 models extend conference-call-like team communication up to 1,600 feet (line of sight). The rugged and comfortable design ensures this headset is ready for tough work environments.

For convenience, the Headset will remember the last setting each time it is turned on. Automatic Loud Noise Suppression The Headset will limit high impulse sounds, such as gun shots, from being transmitted to the user when using the Stereo Listen Through. Convertible Headband The Headset is user configurable for overhead, behind-head, or hard hat (with hard hat accessory). This gives the user the ability to change the way they use the Headset over time without needing to invest in a new one. Multi-Color Ruggedizers The ruggedizers offer additional abrasion and impact protection. They are available in many colors (sold separately) to give the user the ability to define teams, roles, or enhance safety. Extreme Environmental Design The Headset has an IP-66 dust and water egress rating. Even when worn in heavy rain, the Headset will still be useable. Operation has been verified to -22F / -30C for extreme cold weather environments. 2 | Page Flexible Charging An AC adaptor and DC automotive charging cable are included to allow charging in most environments. Hearing Protection The Headset conforms to many hearing protection standards, keeping the user safe from harmful noise. In Headset Charging The Headset has charging circuitry built in allowing it to be charged from multiple sources. These include the supplied AC wall adaptor and multiple DC charging options from a variety of sources including most cars, trucks, and aircraft. Refer to specification for charging voltages and power requirements. Light Weight Through the use of the latest weight saving technologies, Flightcom is able to deliver a wireless headset that is lighter than many wired headsets. Listen Through Situational Awareness The Headset has two listen through microphones to give the user stereo situational awareness. The microphones are placed on the forward edge of the headset to give the user the perception of sounds in the front versus from the rear. The listen through has a programmable volume level and limits all sounds the user hears to 82dB. Long Battery Life With over 24 hours of battery life on DECT7 Headsets, and 44 hours of battery life on those without, the Headset works whenever the user needs it. Multimode Auto Shutdown To extend the life of the batteries, the Headset will automatically shut down. Bluetooth and DECT7 Wireless Shutdown: If a DECT wireless connection has been established, the Headset will power down after 5 minutes if the connection is lost. Non-Activity Shutdown: Headsets shut down after 1 hour if not used. The headset will announce when it is about to shut down. Shutdown may be cancelled by pressing any button. Two Stage Low Battery Alert The Electronic Headset has a two-stage low battery alert system to notify the user of a depleted battery before communications are lost. USB Programmable Using their USB port, Headsets can be configured using a Windows PC. Many of the features may be customized and saved. Refer to the Sonetics Headset Software for details. User Replaceable Battery The Electronic Headset uses a replaceable battery. This allows the user to replace the battery at end-of-life and have spares in the field for extended operation times. Only Sonetics batteries should be used. Voice Prompts Voice prompts allows the user to make all adjustments without removing the headset. There is no need toโฆ
