SR-15 Behind-the-Head Headset

The SR-15 behind-the-head headset is designed for workers who cannot wear typical over-the-head headset models due to hair style, headwear, or comfort issues.

  • The behind-the-head headset is a rugged headset designed specifically for speech recognition in industrial and warehouse settings. It comes with an adjustable headband, giving the user a personalized and comfortable fit.
  • The behind-the-head headset comes in a single configuration that can be adjusted by the user to be in a right-ear or left-ear orientation.
  • The symmetrically designed ear loop can be worn on either ear.
  • Honeywell strongly recommends securing the cord to clothing with clips provided for both operational safety as well as to enhance headset stability.
  • If the cord can not be easily secured, Honeywell recommends that it be clipped near the center of the headband to evenly distribute any weight caused by a loose cord.

Wearing the SR-15 Behind-the-Head Headset

  1. Loosen the cord at the headband cord clip on the back of the headband to allow enough slack to move the speaker away from the earloop.
  2. Adjust the nylon band on the adjustment strap so that it lies flat against the headband of the headset.
  3. Grasp the headset's ear loops and spread them slightly apart.
  4. Place the headset behind your head, and slip the ear loops over your ears.
  5. Adjust the headset's speaker so it fits snugly over your ear.
  6. Place the microphone at the corner of your mouth. Position the microphone as close to your mouth as possible, but outside of your breath stream. It should be facing your upper lip, and not touching anything (for example, clothing, skin, or facial hair).
  7. Clip the headset cord to your shirt or jacket where it is comfortable.
  8. Let the cord fall down your back, and clip it to the belt near the device. If you are using a device cover, we recommend that you clip the bottom clip directly onto the cover.
  9. Adjust the nylon adjustment strap on the back of the headband so that it fits firmly, but comfortably, against the back of your head. The nylon band can be adjusted by sliding the plastic buckle.
  10. Connect the headset to the device.

Replacing the Headband Cord Clip on the SR-15 Headset

  3. Using the plunger, attach the cord to the cord clip.

Replacing the Ear Pad on the SR-15 Headset

  1. With headset removed and disconnected, rotate the headband away from the microphone/speaker assembly.
    • If the cord is clipped to the center of the back of the headset, either unclip it or allow enough slack to be able to move the headband away from the microphone/speaker assembly.
  1. Remove the worn foam cover from the speaker assembly.
  2. Place the new foam cover over one of the three mounting ribs.
  3. Gently pull the foam over the other two mounting ribs.
