Cleaning Windscreens

Honeywell recommends that you change windscreens every 90 days for optimum speech recognition performance. By protecting headset microphones, windscreens prevent the accumulation of dirt which can reduce the clarity of operator responses.

Soap, cleaning solutions, and vigorous washing removes the protective coating on the windscreen and decreases its effectiveness.

  1. Remove the windscreen from the microphone.
  2. Rinse the windscreen under warm water.
  3. Squeeze out the excess water and let it air dry thoroughly.

    The comparison shows how an unprotected microphone cannot make clear distinctions between speech and silence, while a clean microphone can.
