The entire CVC Headset cannot be turned in for storage or shipment. Credit is only given for the Earcups

and Cable Assembly component. Certain components, including personal items that have come in

contact with the user, are required to be removed. The Liner; Earcushions; Front Foam Assemblies;

Boom Mounting Hardware; and Microphone, Boom, and Cable Assembly should be removed prior to

packaging. The Earcups and Cable Assembly should be thoroughly wiped down and cleaned with a cloth

dampened, not wet, with isopropyl alcohol. The Earcups and Cable Assembly should be wrapped with

headset.

The ACAPS and CAPS headsets, specifically the earcups portion, are currently not considered a depot

level repairable. When the fault lies in the electrical components of the earcups, it is recommended that

the headset be cannibalized for useable parts and the remainder disposed of according to standard

operating procedures (SOPs).
