Finally, gently insert your earphones in each ear, just far enough that
they t securely—do not push beyond the ear canal opening!
Note: Once you’ve put on your earphones, use the cord adjuster to increase
or decrease the amount of slack in the cord.
These earphones come with the medium sized silicone sleeves
installed. If these don’t t the way you want them to, try a different
size or material—the next section tells you how to change sleeves.
Choosing and changing sleeves
Experiment with the different sizes and materials in this package to
nd the right sleeves for you. Changing the sleeves is easy.
1. To remove the sleeve on the
earphone, pull gently on one sides
of the sleeve at the base of the stem
until the sleeve comes off.
2. Position the replacement sleeve at
a slight downward angle over the
earphone stem. Gently push the
sleeve up and onto the stem until it
ts securely in place.
3. Push the end of the sleeve gently to make sure it covers the
stem completely.
Which material is right for you?
Foam sleeves eventually adjust to the contours of your ear,
giving you the tightest t and most noise isolation.
Silicone sleeves are easier to clean and generally more
comfortable for activities like exercise.
Connecting to your audio device
1. Turn the volume of your audio device all the way down.
2. Plug the earphone mini-plug into the headphone jack on
your audio device.
3. Put on your earphones.
4. Turn up the audio device volume slowly.
Listen safely!
Enjoy your earphones at a safe volume. Avoid or limit the amount
of time you listen at higher volumes—permanent hearing loss
may occur if the earphones are used at too high a volume. If you
experience a ringing in your ears, or your own voice and other
sounds seem mufed, stop using the earphones and consult a
hearing professional.
Important: Do not use these earphones when operating a motor vehicle or
in any environment where the inability to hear outside sounds may present
a danger to you or to others. Sounds that you usually rely on as reminders
or warnings may seem unfamiliar when using earphones. If you plan to use
earphones around sounds like these, make sure you know how to recognize
the sounds with your earphones on.
