that the + and - terminals face the right direction.

cup.
(B) Headband: (B:1) Pull out the cups and adjust the headset over the ears so that the sealing
pads completely surround the ears. (B:2) Adjust the height of both cups while holding down the
band until you have a comfortable fit. (B:3) The band should fit straight on top of your head.
(C) Helmet attachment: Fit the helmet attachment in the hard-hat slot until it clicks into place
(see figure C:1). During use, the wire bands must be pushed in until they click on both sides,
from ventilation to operating position. Check that the cup and wire band do not chafe against
the harness or hard-hat's edge when in the operating position, otherwise this may cause noise
penetration. Note! The cups can be set to three positions: (C:2) Operational, (C:3) Ventilation
and (C:4) Standby.
Important! For best protective effect, move away hair from around the ears so that the sealing
cups fit tightly on the head. Spectacle arms should be as thin as possible and fit close to the head.
