GETTING TO KNOW YOUR IN-EARS
HOW TO WEAR
Warning: Please turn the volume down on source before inserting IEM. Don’t take chances with permanent
irreversible hearing loss. Turn it down.
Note: Handle IEMS with care. They are breakable.
Step 1
Turn the CIEM forward, then
gently insert it into your ear
canal.
Step 2
Gently rock in-ear back and
forth, until completely snug
in the ear.
Step 3
Secure cable behind ear.
Step 4
Cinch cable for best
isolation.
For Universal IEMS
Before insertion, be sure to secure tip onto IEM. If using final Audio Type E tips, squeeze tip before
insertion into ear.
DO
1. Clean after each use. Wax buildup damages drivers and they will
need to be replaced. This is not covered under warranty.
2. Store in Empire Ears protective case when in-ears are not in use..
3. Read full warranty info. The more informed you are, the better
you can take care of your in-ears. With proper care your in-ears
can last for many years.
DON’T
1. Expose device to moisture.
2. Remove IEM by pulling on cable.
3. Wear IEM if it has microfractures, as it can break during use.
4. Allow IEM to hit hard surfaces, or knock into each other, as this
can create microfractures or break the device.
5. Attempt to fix, alter, or disassemble device. Doing so will void all
warranties.
