Important safety instructions

• Please read this instruction manual carefully and

completely before using the headset.

• Make these this instruction manual easily accessible to all

users at all times.

Always include this instruction manual when passing the

headset on to third parties.

• During flight operation, do not use the headset for

telephone calls.

• With 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 critical sounds,

especially warning alarms and sounds resulting from

malfunction.

• The 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.

• Never repair or attempt to repair a defective headset

yourself. Contact your Sennheiser partner or the

Sennheiser Service Department.

• Only replace those parts of the headset whose

replacement is described in this instruction manual. All

other parts of the headset must be replaced by your

Sennheiser partner.

• Protect the headset from wetness. Use only a slightly

damp cloth to clean the headset. For information on how

to clean the headset, contact your Sennheiser partner.

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 2.0TM

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, NoiseGard

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.

TalkThrough function (TT)

The TalkThrough function allows you to communicate with

the people around you while wearing the headset. The

NoiseGard active noise compensation and the peak level

protection remain unaffected by the TalkThrough function

and help to protect your hearing.

Additional features

• Outstanding transmission quality for clear communi-

cations

• Good passive attenuation of ambient noise

• Foldable design for space-saving storage and transpor-

tation

• Noise-compensating boom microphone ensures excellent

speech transmission

• Flexible microphone boom

• Separate left and right channel volume control

•Excellentcomfortresultingfrom soft ear pads and head-

band padding

• Audio-input facility for external audio sources, such as

mobile phones, MP3 players

on the operating control and to the corresponding jack

socket on your mobile telephone (4-pin).

You can adjust the volume of the mobile telephone via

the headset’s operating control. However, the functions

of the mobile telephone cannot be controlled via the

headset’s operating control.
