More Functions

Active Noise Cancellation
The ClearDryve® signal processing removes more than 90% of noise reaching the microphone so those on the other end of the call hear you — not the background. This digital noise suppression is always active. In addition, your ClearDryve® features Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), which eliminates the need to “crank up the volume” by canceling out ambient noise reaching your ear. The result is a crystal-clear listening experience for you as well.

To turn ANC on or off:

  1. Slide the ANC slider to the on or off position.
  2. When ANC is enabled, the green ANC light indicator is on.
  3. When ANC is disabled, the green ANC light indicator is off.

Note:
ANC can be turned on for use in either Bluetooth® (wireless) or wired mode. When the headphone is not in use, remember to turn the ANC slider off to conserve battery power.

Add/Remove the Detachable Stereo Earpiece
ClearDryve® can convert from mono (one earpiece plus headpad ) to stereo (two earpieces). The detachable earpiece can be replaced with the head pad for a mono configuration.

To remove the earpiece or the headpad:

  1. Hold the black earpiece release tab.

  2. Slide the earpiece off.RAND-McNALLY-ClearDryve-220-Wireless-Headset-fig- \(7\)
    To attach the earpiece or the headpad:

  3. Slide the earpiece/headpad onto the ClearDryve® head band.

  4. The earpiece will click when connected.

Reset to Factory Settings

You may need to restore ClearDryve® back to its factory state, typically when switching over to newer model smartphones/laptops for daily use. Clearing the “pairing history” on your headphones can help improve connection times between your headphones and new devices.

To reset ClearDryve:

  1. Make sure ClearDryve® is powered off. Now press and hold MFB to place it in pairing mode.
  2. Press and hold Vol – and MFB at the same time until you hear 2 beeps.

Your ClearDryve’s pairing history is now cleared and it is in pairing mode. You can turn of the headphones or proceed to pair it with your device(s).

Note: The next time you turn on the device, it will automatically be in pairing mode.
