Using this intercom headset is easy. Just connect it to your device via the 4 - pin male XLR connector and you're ready to go. When using it, make sure the connection is secure to avoid any audio interruptions. As for maintenance, since the muff covers may peel off, you can check them regularly. If you notice any signs of peeling, you might want to take extra care or consider replacing the covers. Also, keep the headset in a dry and clean place when not in use to prolong its lifespan.
