2.15.2. CAPS AND ACAPS HEADSETS
The CAPS headset can be placed on the head and removed without helmet
removal. The rear mounted neckband is adjustable to help keep uniform
pressure between the earseals and your head.
NOTE
Ensure that the CAPS/ACAPS headset is properly
adjusted. An improper seal between the earseal and the
head may result in a low frequency tone in the headset
when the ANR circuits are switched on. If this occurs,
re-adjust the headset.
