Set the LEVEL switch to HI and plug the headphones cord directly into the 3. 5 mm output jack. To connect to a home stereo system that has a ¼ in (6. 3 mm) stereo output jack, use the the ¼ in (6. 3 mm) stereo adapter plug included with your headphones. Plug the headphones cord into the adapter plug and insert it into the output jack on your stereo system. English English Connecting to airline audio systems The audio output connections on airline audio systems vary, but they typically have dual or single 3. 5 mm output jacks. Note: Airline audio may not equal the high quality audio you experience from a home stereo or portable source. Connecting to dual output jacks Set the LEVEL switch to LO. Plug the headphone cord into the dual-plug adapter and insert it into the dual output jacks. Connecting to a single output jack Set the LEVEL switch to LO. Plug the headphone cord into the adapter and insert it into the single output jack. The LO setting of the LEVEL switch lowers the volume levels of strong audio output signals which are common on airline systems. If you find that the volume level is too low, set the LEVEL switch to HI. 5 Care and Maintenance English English Folding the earcups for storage QuietComfort 2 Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphones feature rotating earcups that fold flat for easy, convenient storage. The earcups rotate in one direction only. ® ® L R CAUTION: Incorrectly rotating the earcups can damage the headphones. Reattaching earcup cushions The earcup cushions are held in place by a mounting flange. This flange snaps under small tabs located around the inside rim of the earcup. If an earcup cushion becomes partially or completely detached, push its mounting flange back into the earcup. Then use your finger or thumb to press around the edge of the mounting flange, making sure it snaps into place all the way around the earcup. 6 Care and Maintenance Battery replacement Although it varies by usage, battery life averages 35 hours.
