Eartips

Important:

• For best performance and the most solid bass response, the eartips must be inserted deeply in the ear canals.
• If one or both earphones stop working or has reduced volume, change the earphone filter. See Changing Filters for detailed instructions.

Insertion and Removal of Eartips

• For best results, moisten the white soft plastic eartips before insertion.
• Using your right hand, grasp the eartip with the red plug.
• With your left hand, pull up and back on your right ear to straighten your ear canal.
• Carefully insert the right earphone so that it seals deeply and comfortably in your ear.
• Repeat procedure for the left ear, using the earphone with the blue plug.
• Remove earphones slowly with a twisting motion to gradually break the seal.

Foam Eartips

• Firmly grip the white eartip with one hand and the earphone with the other.
• Remove the eartip from the earphone, and replace it with a black foam eartip.
• Compress the foam eartip by rolling it between your fingers.
• With the opposite hand, pull up and back on your ear to straighten your ear canal.
• Carefully insert the earphone into the ear canal, holding it in place until the foam expands to produce a seal.

Proper Earphone Use

• Set the volume control of the audio source to minimum.
• Insert the 3.5mm earphone plug into the headphone jack (a 1/4" adapter is also supplied).
• Set the volume control to a comfortable listening level.
• Do not use insert earphones while driving a motorized vehicle, operating machinery, bicycling or jogging, because you may not be alerted to potential danger.
• Do not use the earphones at excessively loud levels.

Care of Earphones

• Do not expose earphones to extreme temperatures.
• Avoid dropping or strong impact.
• Keep earphones away from water and dust.
• Do not pull on the cord to remove it from the jack or the ear.
• Avoid bending the barrel in the center of the cord.
• Clean the white plastic eartips prior to use by others.
• Replace disposable foam eartips regularly.

Cleaning the White Plastic Eartips

• Firmly grip the eartip with one hand and the earphone with the other.
• Carefully remove the eartip from the earphone.
• Use warm water and mild soap to remove dirt and earwax from the eartip. Do not get the earphone wet.
• Rinse and completely dry the eartip before placing it back on the earphone.
• Push the eartip on the stem until it rests on the large edge of the barrel.
