Ety8 Earphones sold in Europe comply with European law, which requires that the maximum
output of a portable player be limited to 100 dB (A scale). The maximum output of ety8
earphones sold outside Europe is 110 dB. Which is safer? Neither one. Research indicates that
nearly everyone chooses a safe listening level unless background noise forces them to turn up
the volume. The mission of Etymotic Research is to preserve hearing. Ety8 earphones block out
most background noise, allowing you to listen at lower, safer levels.

To increase output in European ety8 earphones:

1. Connect to iPod via the 8•Mate adapter.
2. Press/release PLAY/PAUSE on R earphone.
3. Within 2 seconds:
   1. Press/hold Volume UP
   2. Press/release NEXT/Fast-Forward
