Using AI noise canceling

AI noise canceling is a useful function that automatically selects one of the noise canceling modes. This function provides the most effective noise canceling mode by immediately analyzing ambient sound components.
Press and hold the NC button.
When the unit is on, press and hold the NC button until beep sounds coming from the headphones. The unit starts analyzing ambient sound components (approx.
3 seconds). During analysis, sound volume from the headphones is lowered and the NC button blinks.
When the analysis is completed, the most effective noise canceling mode is set automatically, and the sound volume from the headphones returns to normal.
Noise-canceling mode types

NC mode A:| Reduces noise containing a large amount of middle to low-frequency sounds. Ambient noise in the environment is effectively reduced.
---|---
NC mode B:| Reduces noise containing a large amount of super-low frequency sounds. For example, background noise heard
mainly on a bus or a train is effectively reduced.
NC mode C:| Reduces noise of relatively quiet and wide range of frequency sounds. Background noise mainly present in an
office environment (PCs, copiers, etc.) is effectively reduced.

After use

1.  Terminate the BLUETOOTH connection by touching the smartphone or operating the BLUETOOTH device.
