Putting into operation
Wearing the ear-worn microphones
Your ear-worn microphone comes
with a preinstalled connection cable
and is ready for operation on
delivery.
Ear Set 1
Ear Set 4
The Ear Set 1 with its omni-direc-
tional pick-up pattern can be worn
on the left or right ear.
Due to the directivity of its cardioid
pick-up pattern, the Ear Set 4 can
only be worn on the right ear.
5
Adjusting the earband to the shape of your ear
CAUTION! Damage to the earband
The earband can break or be impaired in its function
when the bend diameter is too small (< 2 cm) or
when you bend it close to the connector. Also avoid
frequent alternate bendings. If the earband breaks,
you can be injured.
̈ Adjust the earband to the shape of your ear as
described below.
̈ Put on the ear-worn micro-
phone. The earband has to
closely follow the shape of your
B
A
ear. To improve the wearing
comfort, make sure that the
end of the connector is placed
in front (A) or behind (B) the
microphone boom.
>2 cм
̈ Adjust the pre-bent earband to
the individual shape of your
ear. To do so, carefully bend the
earband over your index finger.
6
Positioning the microphone boom towards the
corner of the mouth
For best possible fit and comfort and optimum transmission
quality, the microphone boom has to be adjusted to the shape of
your face.
CAUTION! Damage to the microphone boom
The microphone boom can break or be impaired in
its function when the bend diameter is too small
(< 2 cm) or when you bend it close to the micro-
phone. Also avoid frequent alternate bendings. If
the microphone boom breaks, you can be injured.
̈ Adjust the microphone boom to the shape of
your face as described below.
̈ If necessary, bend the earband again in order to adjust the
angle of the microphone boom.
̈ Adjust the microphone boom:
You can change the length of
the microphone boom by
bending it. Due to the omni-
directional pick-up pattern of
the Ear Set 1, no particular
distance between microphone
and mouth has to be main-
tained.
With the Ear Set 4, maintain a
distance of 2 to 3 cm between
microphone and mouth.
̈ Adjust the microphone boom
to the shape of your face.
7
The supplied hypoallergenic adhe-
sive tape allows you to addition-
ally fix the microphone boom to
the cheek.
̈ Remove the white protective
foil (A).
̈ Stick the adhesive tape (B)
2 cm
over the microphone boom.
̈ Remove the thin protective foil
(C) from the upper side of the
adhesive tape.
̈ If necessary, apply make-up to
the adhesive tape.
Attaching the sound inlet basket (Ear Set 4 only)
Notes
̈ Do not position the microphone directly in front of your mouth
as it will pick up your breathing and plosive noises from your
mouth. In addition, moisture can adversely affect the sound
and performance of your microphone.
̈ When attaching the sound inlet
basket, make sure that it locks
into place with an audible click.
̈ Make sure you do not cover the
sound inlet.
8
Treble boost using the MZC 1-1 and MZC 1-2
frequency response caps (Ear Set 1 only)
The Ear Set 1 is supplied with two
different frequency response caps.
MZC 1-1
These caps allow you to adjust the
treble response of the microphone
MZC 1-2
(see the frequency response curve
in the chapter “Specifications”).
In addition, the large MZC 1-2
frequency response cap attenuates
wind noise by approx. 15 dB and
provides an extended protection
against the ingress of moisture.
̈ Slip the cap of your choice onto the microphone head until it
locks into place.
Attaching the connection cable to clothing
̈ Press the tube of the connec-
tion cable into the cable grip of
the MZQ 02 cable clip.
̈ Attach the cable clip to the rear
of your collar (see diagram on
the next page).
̈ Run the connection cable under
your clothing.
9
The supplied hypoallergenic adhesive tape allows you to addition-
ally fix the connection cable to the neck.
̈ Remove the white protective foil (A).
̈ Stick the adhesive tape (B) over the connection cable.
̈ Remove the thin protective foil (C) from the upper side of the
adhesive tape.

Care and maintenance
Cleaning the sound inlet basket
̈ To clean or replace the sound inlet basket, carefully pull it from
the capsule.
̈ Moisten a small brush (bristle brush or toothbrush) with
isopropyl alcohol.
̈ Carefully brush off the sound
inlet basket.
̈ Allow the sound inlet basket to
air dry for approx. 1 hour so
that the remaining isopropyl
alcohol can evaporate.
̈ Reattach the sound inlet basket
to the capsule so that it locks
into place with an audible click.
When attaching the sound inlet
basket, make sure not to cover
the sound inlet.
12
Cleaning the contacts of the connection cable
Over time, salt deposits from sweat can build up on the connector
and the socket. Clean the connector and the socket using standard
isopropyl alcohol.
To loosen the connection:
̈ Slide the silicone tube aside.
̈ Insert your fingernail into the
join.
̈ Pull the connector and the
socket apart as shown.
̈ Moisten a small brush (bristle
brush or toothbrush) with
isopropyl alcohol.
̈ Carefully brush off the
connector and the socket and
remove the salt deposits.
13
̈ Rinse the connector and the socket with isopropyl alcohol to
remove the remaining salt deposits.
̈ Dry the connector and the socket using a soft cloth or a small
piece of cotton wool and carefully tap them off.
̈ Allow the connector and the socket to air dry for approx. 1 hour
so that the remaining isopropyl alcohol can evaporate.
̈ Slide the silicone tube onto the connector.
