Important safety instructions

yPlease read these instructions carefully and completely

before using the headset.

yMake these instructions easily accessible to all users at all

times. Always include these instructions when passing

the headset on to third parties.

yDuring flight operation, do not use the headset for

telephone calls.

yWith the NoiseGard active noise compensation switched

on, typical aircraft sounds (for example, those from

engines, propellers, warning alarms, etc.) may sound

different to you. Before operating any aircraft, make sure

that, with NoiseGard switched on, you can hear and

recognize these sounds. Set the volume to safe levels that

do not interfere with your ability to hear informational

sounds and warning alarms.

yThe headset is capable of producing sound pressure levels

exceeding 85 dB(A). In many countries 85 dB(A) is the

maximum legally permissible level for continuous noise

exposure during the working day. Exposure to sounds of

higher volume levels or for longer durations can

permanently damage your hearing!

yNever repair or attempt to repair a defective headset

yourself. Contact your Sennheiser agent or the

Sennheiser Service Department.

yOnly replace those parts of the headset whose

replacement is described in this manual. All other parts of

the headset must be replaced by your Sennheiser agent.

yProtect the headset from humidity. Use only a slightly

damp cloth to clean the headset. For information on how

to clean the headset, contact your Sennheiser agent.

The HMEC 250 headset

The HMEC 250 headset with NoiseGard 2.0 active noise

compensation features closed, dynamic, circumaural stereo

headphones. The HMEC 250 is a headset for general aviation

use.

NoiseGard 2.0

The NoiseGard 2.0 active noise compensation system is

based on the principle of cancelling out sound using “anti-

sound” (phase-inverted sound). Tiny microphones pick up

low-frequency ambient noise (up to 1 kHz) near the ear. The

NoiseGard 2.0 electronics use this noise to generate a sound

wave which is the exact opposite (i.e.: at the same level but

polarity reversed – 180° out-of-phase), the result is that the

polarity reversed signal cancels most of the outside noise.

Fail safe operation

When the batteries are completely discharged, the

NoiseGard 2.0 active noise compensation automatically

switches off. RT traffic (e.g. ATC) and intercom will still be

heard through the headphones.

Peak level protection

The peak level protection safeguards your ears from volume

peaks above 110 dB.

HMEC250_516578_0507_SP6.book Seite 5 Mittwoch, 13. Juni 2007 3:18 15

TalkThrough function

The TalkThrough function allows you to communicate with

the people around you while wearing the headset. The

NoiseGard 2.0 active noise compensation and the peak level

protection remain unaffected by the TalkThrough function

and help to protect your hearing.

Additional features

yOutstanding transmission quality for clear

communications

yGood passive attenuation of ambient noise

yFoldable design for space-saving storage and

transportation

yNoise-compensating boom microphone ensures excellent

speech transmission

yFlexible microphone boom

ySeparate left and right channel volume control

yExcellent comfort resulting from soft ear pads and

headband padding

yAudio-input facility for external audio sources, such as

mobile phones, MP3 players
