*If dirty, we recommend wiping down the components prior to placing in the carrying case with a non-abrasive cleaning agent or damp cloth (see Section 8.2.1 on General Cleaning Recommendation). This will reduce fouling of the Foam Inserts and extend the service life of the carrying case. Additionally, it is a good habit to inspect the components prior to transport for damage, for battery charge level, and for dirt or other foreign material that may have become lodged in the microphone or speaker housings.
