 Attaching the Headset to Glasses 
  (optional mounting style)
The spring clip on either side of the capsule allows you to install 
your headset onto glasses. If your glasses have wire temples, you 
may order an eyeglass bow adapter to thicken the mounting 
base for the capsule and ensure a comfortable fit, as shown. The 
bow adapter is not included with the MS50 aviation headset 
(order PN 10822-00).

 Adjusting the Clothing Clip
Attach the clothing clip to a part of your clothing at about chest level. 
Press the ends of the cable clamp to allow enough slack — approxi-
mately six inches (15cm)— between your headset and the clothing clip.
Try moving your head from side to side to ensure that you have 
allowed sufficient cable slack between the headset and the 
clothing clip.
Care and Maintenance
• Periodically wipe off the capsule and voice tube or boom using a soft 
cloth which may be dampened with water.
• Do Not use alcohol, cleaning solvents, or detergents on your headset.

 Adjusting the Voice Tube
Place the voice tube near the corner of the mouth just below, but not 
directly in front of, your lips, as shown. Move the headband pivot bar 
up and down to position the tube vertically, and rotate the tube itself 
for horizontal positioning. If necessary, you can move the capsule 
laterally on the pivot arm.

  Select Proper Size Eartip
Select the eartip size so that the bulb portion fits snugly into the ear 
canal. Clean or replace eartips regularly and ensure that the clear 
tube is not kinked.
Caution: If you have a history of ear infections or allergies to 
plastics, you should exercise care in using the eartip.

 Putting on the Headset
Insert the pivoting arm under 
the spring clip, as shown. The 
pivoting arm on which the 
capsule is mounted allows 
you to wear the capsule on 
the left or right side with the 
headband over the top of, or 
behind your head. Make certain 
the capsule is on the outside 
of the pivoting arm. Place the 
eartip in the opening of the 
ear canal.
2.
 Attaching the Eartip to the Capsule
Slide the end of the eartip 
onto the metal sound port 
on the capsule and gently 
twist  it. Adjust the tube so 
that it rests in the position 
shown in the photo.
