CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Adhering to these guidelines will ensure you and your
Sidekick have a long and happy relationship:
• Always store The Sidekick in its protective case
• Always turn down the device volume before plugging
your Sidekick in
• Wipe down your Sidekick after each use and never
immerse it/them in water
• Don’t expose your Sidekick to temperature extremes
or heavy impact.
• In case of earwax build-up in the sound bore of the
driver tube, replace the filter using The Filter replace-
ment tool. Incorrect fitting using other tools may re-
sult in damage and will void the warranty.
• Moisture in The Sidekick can cause temporary perfor-
mance issues. Dry your ears completely before insert-
ing The Sidekick. If water or perspiration gets inside
The Sidekick, causing it to stop working correctly,
allow it to dry out completely before further use. Ex-
tended exposure to moisture or submersion will result
in permanent damage (not covered by the warranty).
NB INFORMATION
At Bubblebee Industries we are committed to making
sound sound better and protecting your hearing!
Please observe the following:
• Once The Sidekick is inserted in your ear, start with a
low volume and gradually increase it until a comforta-
ble level is reached.
• Do not turn up the volume so loud that you can’t hear
your surroundings.
• Ringing in your ears, or any discomfort, can indicate
that the level is too high for your ears. We recommend
you drop the volume of the audio and take a break.
CARING FOR YOUR HEARING
If, after using The Sidekick, you experience muffled hear-
ing, ringing or buzzing, your ears are trying to give you a
warning. These symptoms are usually associated with a
hearing condition called “Temporary Threshold Shift” and
are an indication of conditions that could lead to perma-
nent hearing loss. There are established safety guidelines
for sound levels versus exposure. The following data is
based on OSHA’s (Occupational Safety and Health Admin-
istration) exposure guidelines for industry. These guide-
lines are based on an average hearing sensitivity, so your
hearing sensitivity may be above or below the levels:
