Personal Sound
Amplifier
includes the
following parts:

To charge the batteries:
1. Assemble the
charging kit by
plugging the small
end of the cable into
the charger base,
and plugging the
large end into the
charger power supply.
Note: The large end of the charging cord can also be
plugged into a standard USB connector on your computer.
2. Plug the power supply into a standard AC outlet. The
lights on top of the charger will glow blue to confirm
power is reaching the charging stations.
3. Connect the batteries to the two charging points on the
charger by aligning the magnets. Once the battery is in
place, the indicator light will change color. A red light
indicates the battery is being charged. The light will turn
green when the battery is charged and is ready to use.

Charging Batteries
While your batteries may have a small charge when you
unpack them, we recommend fully charging the batteries
before you start using your CS10. It will take up to 2 ½ hours
to fully charge your batteries. Fully charged, each battery
will power the CS10 for up to 13 hours of normal listening.

Personal fit
1. The CS10 comes
with three different
sized ear tips: small
(pre-attached to
earpiece nozzle), medium, and large. If the small tip is
not snug in your ear, detach the ear tip from the nozzle
and try the medium or large tip.
2. Align the nub on the ear tip with the mark on the
earpiece. Proper alignment is necessary to provide the
most secure mounting of the ear tip.
3. Slide the ear tip all the way onto the earpiece nozzle.
The end of the sleeve should come into contact with
the base of the nozzle.
4. The battery wire can be adjusted to maximize the
comfort of your CS10. Grasping the body of the
earpiece in one hand, gently pull or push the battery
wire with your other hand to achieve the desired
length. Be careful not to pull too hard as you could
dislodge the tube and break the wire connections.
USING YOUR CS10
Attach a battery to the CS10
1. Align the contacts and magnets of a charged battery
with the battery terminals and magnets on the earpiece.
2. Once the battery snaps into place, the unit is on. It is
normal to have a slight delay of a few seconds as the
unit powers up. To turn the unit off, simply disconnect
the battery.
3. The CS10 provides an audible low battery indication.
When you hear five tones played in sequence
(low, high, low, high, low) it is time to change batteries.
8 9

Placing the CS10 on your ear
1. Place the battery behind your
ear, hanging the battery wire
over your ear.
2. If you wear eyeglasses, position
the battery between the earpiece
of your glasses and your ear.
Be aware that removing or adjusting your glasses may
create a distracting noise in your CS10.
3. Insert the ear tip straight into your ear gently, wiggling
slightly to ensure a good fit. The ideal fit is snug, but
not tight.
4. Listen to the recorded audio guide to gain familiarity
with the CS10’s controls. This guide will automatically
start to play approximately 15 seconds after the battery
is attached.
Note: To defeat the audio guide press and hold the
volume and program buttons. You can reactivate the
audio guide by resetting the device to its original factory
settings. To reset the device press the buttons in the
following sequence: program, program, volume, volume,
program. Resetting the device will delete any CS10
settings that have been customized.
USING YOUR CS10
Adjusting the volume
Press the volume button to increase the volume. You will
hear three tones in ascending pitch to indicate the new level.
Push and hold the volume button to decrease the volume.
You will hear three tones in descending pitch to indicate the
new level.
Selecting a profile
The CS10 comes programmed with three preset profiles with
modified levels and shaped frequency responses based on
the most typical amplification needs.
Press the program button to toggle between the three
preset profiles.
Preset 1 – (Factory default setting.) Boost in high
frequency range. You will hear “Preset 1” when returning
to this preset.
Preset 2 – More boost in high frequency range compared
to Preset 1 along with mild boost in mid-range frequen-
cies. You will hear “Preset 2” after selecting this preset.
Preset 3 – Equal high and mid-range frequency boost as
Preset 2, but with an increase in low frequency range as
well. You will hear “Preset 3” after selecting this preset.
10 11

USING YOUR CS10
Go to a relatively quite environment and listen to a sound
source with each of the three presets for some time.
You should readjust the volume to a comfortable level
each time after selecting a new preset. Audition the three
presets over the course of a few days in common listening
situations like conversations and watching television.
Once you have selected a preset profile, press and hold the
program button for ten seconds to make it you baseline
profile. Once this is done, the program button will now allow
you to toggle between environmental settings designed to
optimize the performance of the CS10 in specific situations.
Environmental situations
Baseline Profile – You will hear one confirmation
beep when returning to your baseline profile.
Restaurant Mode – You will hear two quick
confirmation beeps when entering the CS10’s
Restaurant Mode. Restaurant Mode incorporates
a directional microphone to provide more rejection
of unwanted sounds in noisy environments.
Entertainment Mode – You will hear three quick
confirmation beeps when entering the CS10’s
Entertainment Mode. Entertainment Mode provides
increased low frequency response for more a more
natural sound at music or theatrical events.
To return the program button to its original preset selection
mode, press and hold the program button for ten seconds.
Getting used to your CS10
It may take some time to get used to wearing your CS10.
You will hear many sounds in a clarity you are not used to
hearing. Ambient and environmental sounds like shuffling
papers, or cutlery and dishes may be distracting at first.
Over the course of about two weeks you will become
acclimatized to the new palate of sounds you are
experiencing.
12 13

Pairing with Bluetooth devices
Pairing your CS10 to a Bluetooth device like smartphones
and computers is a simple one-time operation. Your CS10
will seek and attempt to pair with Bluetooth devices for 3
minutes each time the battery is attached. After that time,
if no devices have been detected, the unit will stop trying
to pair and the Bluetooth transmission will be turned off.
1. Be certain the Bluetooth function is turned on for any
device you wish to pair with. (See device instructions
for specific details.)
2. Attach a charged battery to the CS10.
3. Watch device you are trying to pair with for CS10
to be detected. CS10 should appear on the screen.
If asked for a pin, enter “0000”.
4. Select the CS10 from list of Bluetooth devices to
ensure pairing.
Note: For best results the CS10 should be within 10
feet of the Bluetooth device.
USING YOUR CS10
Answering phone calls
1. To answer a telephone call, press the CS10 volume
button. On some phones, you may need to select the
CS10 when answering a call.
2. During phone calls, the volume button can be used
to control the volume of the call. Press to increase
volume, push and hold to decrease volume.
3. To hang up, press the CS10 program button or end
the call with the phone’s controls.
4. Do not push the program button during a call.
The call could be terminated.

FDA Note on Personal Sound Amplifiers (PSAPs)
PSAPs are intended to amplify environmental sound for non-hearing
impaired consumers. They are not intended to compensate for hearing
impairment. Examples of situations in which PSAPs typically are used
include hunting (listening for prey), bird watching, listening to lectures
with a distant speaker, and listening to soft sounds that would be
difficult to hear (e.g., distant conversations, performances). Because
PSAPs are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or mitigate disease
and do not alter the structure or function of the body, they are not
devices as defined in the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. As such,
there is no regulatory classification, product code, or definition for
these products. Furthermore, there are not requirements for
registration of manufacturers and listing of these products with FDA.
However, PSAPs are subject to applicable provisions of the Radiation
Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968, under which FDA regulates
electronic products that emit sonic vibrations, such as sound amplifica-
tion equipment. (See also 21 CFR 1000.15.) Manufacturers of PSAPs
must report defects and adverse events and take other measures de-
scribed in 21 CFR Part 1003. Manufacturers of PSAPs must also comply
with requirements to repurchase, repair, or replace electronic products
required under 21 CFR Part 1004.
