Instructions for Use

Dual Mode—Two Ways to Use
Internal Mic Mode
The earpiece is designed to be self-supporting in the ear canal, so the earloop is optional. Push the earloop through the earloop holder and adjust for a secure fit.
BLUmaxx Mic Mode
Exceptional clarity in noisy environments. Gives up to 25 dB more noise cancellation of the talker's voice compared to the internal mic.
Important: To ensure optimal performance it is important that the eartip seals the ear canal.

Insertion
Important: Sound quality and noise isolation depend on a good eartip seal.

  1. Carefully insert the earpiece while pulling up and out on the back of the ear.
  2. Twist the earpiece while inserting until outside noise is blocked out.
  3. Position the earpiece for best fit and comfort.
  4. Flanged eartip: Moistening eases insertion.
  5. Foam eartip: Roll down or compress foam eartip before inserting. Hold the eartip in place for about 5 seconds while the foam expands to create a tight seal in the ear canal.

Removal
To avoid discomfort, remove the headset slowly with a twisting motion to gradually break the seal. Open jaw slightly to equalize pressure, because suction can occur when the eartip is removed.
