User's Guide

Team assignations are useful for department work or project-based groups that need to keep communication

with each other. The available colors are Magenta, White, Yellow, Blue

NOTE: Some colors work better in high light (outdoor) environments.

Overriding Protection Functionalities

Sometimes you might need to override the level-dependent protection functionalities.

Forced Protected Mode

In some cases, external sounds, such as strong winds or wide variances in noise levels, can trigger the

“protected mode” to kick in, resulting in some lags in communication. In these instances, you can override

the auto protect functionalities. If you need to work in double protection work environments, using the forced

protected mode under your ear mus works well.

Forced Pass-through

Forced Pass-through is useful in a number of circumstances. If you are in a safe noise level but you need to

converse with someone who is not using a SonX. When selecting this mode, you will be able to hear them

clearly, while keeping your protection in place. It is also useful for long periods in quiet noise or answering your

radio or mobile phone, without risk of triggering your “protected mode”. Be mindful to reset functions.

Using Override Functions

With a very quick press of the FUNCTION button, SonX will cycle through your 3 options: Force Protected,

Forced Pass-through, and reset.
