Removing the Earphones
Grasp the body of earphone
and gently twist to remove.
Note: Do not pull on cable to
remove earphone.
Detachable Cable
You may need to detach the
cable from the earphones to at-
tach optional components or to
replace the cable if it becomes
damaged. To prevent acciden-
tal separation, the connector
has a snug fit. Take special
care to prevent damage to the
earphone and connector.
• Do not use pliers or other
tools.
• Grasp the connector and
the earphone as close as
possible to where they join.
• Pull straight apart—do not
twist. Cable is a snap fit,
not threaded.
Note: If you pull at an
angle, the connector will
not detach.
• Do not pull on the cable
or put any pressure on the
earphone nozzle.
• Listen for a click when
connecting.
• When reattaching the
cable, match the "L" and
"R" markings. For clear
cables and earphones,
match the color dots
(Red=Right, Blue=Left).
Maintenance and Cleaning
Careful maintenance ensures a tight seal be-
tween the sleeve and nozzle, improving sound
quality and product safety.
• Keep the earphones and sleeves as clean
and dry as possible.
• To clean sleeves, remove them from
earphones, gently rinse in warm water and
air dry. Foam sleeves require a longer drying
time. Inspect for damage and replace if
necessary. Ear sleeves must be completely
dry before reusing.
• Wipe the earphones and sleeves with mild
antiseptic to avoid infections. Do not use
alcohol-based disinfectants.
• Do not expose earphones to extreme
temperatures.
• Replace sleeves if they do not fit properly.
• Do not attempt to modify this product. Doing
so will void the warranty and could result in
personal injury and/or product failure.
Cleaning the Nozzle
If you notice a change in sound quality, remove
the sleeve and check the nozzle of your ear-
phone. If nozzle is blocked, clear obstructions.
If no obstruction is found or if sound quality
does not improve, replace the sleeve with a new
sleeve or disassemble the nozzle to clean inside.
Caution: When cleaning, do not force any object
through the earphone nozzle! This will damage
the earphone sound filter.
