ENGLISH
Ety8 Earphones sold in Europe comply with European law, which requires that the maximum
output of a portable player be limited to 100 dB (A scale). The maximum output of ety8
earphones sold outside Europe is 110 dB. Which is safer? Neither one. Research indicates that
nearly everyone chooses a safe listening level unless background noise forces them to turn up
the volume. The mission of Etymotic Research is to preserve hearing. Ety8 earphones block out
most background noise, allowing you to listen at lower, safer levels.
To increase output in European ety8 earphones:
1. Connect to iPod via the 8•Mate adapter.
2. Press/release PLAY/PAUSE on Rearphone.
3. Within 2 seconds: (1) Press/hold Volume UP (2) Press/release NEXT/Fast-Forward.
To decrease output:
1. Connect to iPod via the 8•Mate adapter.
2. Press/release the PLAY/PAUSE on the Rearphone.
3. Within 2 seconds: (1) Press/hold Volume DOWN (2) Press/release NEXT/Fast-Forward.
• Consult a medical professional if you have excessive earwax, or if you have
discomfort after prolonged use of the eartips.
• Do not use noise-isolating insert earphones while driving, operating machinery,
bicycling or jogging, because you may not be alerted to potential danger.

Select an eartip
When properly sealed, the earphones are
self-supporting in the ear canal. Sound
quality and noise isolation depend on a
good eartip seal.
Insertion
• Pull ear up and back.
• Twist earphone while inserting until outside
noise is sealed off.
• Position (rotate) earphones in the ear for the
best fit.
• Foam eartips: Roll the foam down, then insert
and hold in the ear for 5 seconds.
Removal
• To avoid discomfort, use a slow twisting
motion to gradually break the seal.
• Open the jaw slightly to equalize pressure, because
suction can occur when the eartip is removed.

Ety8 Earphones have special filters to smooth the frequency response and to
prevent earwax from entering the earphones. Change filters if volume decreases or
the sound quality declines.
Removal
Replacement
EARPHONE FILTERS

Problem: Music does not play through the earphones.
Solution: Check all connections.
• Make sure the green LED is solidly illuminated on both earphones and adapter.
• Make sure the iPod is powered.
• If the iPod is paused, press PLAY.
• If the iPod is playing, press PLAY/PAUSE on the iPod two (2) times.
Problem: The music breaks up.
Solution: Reduce distance between the earphone and music player
Problem: The earphones seem to lack bass.
Solution: Check eartip seal.
A good eartip seal is critical. For the fullest frequency response:
• try inserting the eartips slightly deeper to obtain a better seal; or
• try other flanged or foam eartips for a better seal.
Problem: One earphone sounds weak.
Solution: Weak sound is usually caused by a blocked filter.
• Locate the filter changing tool.
• Remove the filter. See section 8 “Earphone filters.”
• Listen to the sound output to determine if the problem is solved.
• Replace the old filter with a new one. See section 8 “Earphone filters.”
Problem: Earphones connect, then quickly shut off.
Solution: Charge the earphones.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. Some equipment operates at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs; to
minimize or prevent such interference, the system base should not be placed near or on top of a TV, PC monitor,
or VCR; and, if interference is experienced, moving the desk station farther away from the TV or VCR will often
reduce or eliminate the interference. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the system off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
1. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
2. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV technician for help.
FCC Health and Safety Information
Your device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits
for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S.
Government. The FCC has established criteria for the amount of radio frequency energy various products may
produce depending on their intended usage. This product has been evaluated and found to comply with the
FCC’s exposure criteria. For body worn operation, the FCC RF exposure guidelines were also met when used
with the accessories supplied or designed for this product. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance
with FCC RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided. Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this device. This
device must not be colocated with other transmitters.

Les écouteurs Ety8 vendus en Europe sont conformes à la loi européenne qui stipule que la puissance
sonore maximale de sortie d'un lecteur portatif doit être limitée à 100 dB (échelle A). La puissance sonore
maximale de sortie des écouteurs ety8 vendus à l'extérieur de l'Europe est de 110 dB. Lequel est plus
sécuritaire? Ni l'un ni l'autre. La recherche indique que presque chaque personne choisit un niveau d'é-
coute sécuritaire à moins d'être forcée à augmenter le volume à cause du bruit de fond. La mission
d'Etymotic Research est de préserver l'acuité auditive. Les écouteurs Ety8 bloquent la plupart des bruits de
fond ce qui permet une écoute à des niveaux de volume moins élevés et plus sécuritaires.
Pour augmenter la puissance de sortie des écouteurs ety8 européens:
1. Connectez les écouteurs au iPod à l'aide d'adaptateur 8•Mate
2. Appuyez et relâchez le bouton LECTURE/PAUSE sur l'écouteur R
3. Dans l'intervalle de deux secondes: (1) Appuyez et maintenez enfoncé le bouton Augmenter le volume (2)
Appuyez et relâchez le bouton SUIVANT/Avance rapide
Pour diminuer la puissance:
1. Connectez les écouteurs au iPod à l'aide d'adaptateur 8•Mate
2. Appuyez et relâchez le bouton LECTURE/PAUSE sur l'écouteur R
3. Dans l'intervalle de deux secondes: (1) Appuyez et maintenez enfoncé le bouton Diminuer LE VOLUME (2)
Appuyez et relâchez le bouton SUIVANT/Avance rapide
• Consultez un médecin si vous avez trop de cérumen, ou si vous ressentez une gêne après un
usage prolongé des embouts.
• N'utilisez pas des écouteurs à embouts avec suppression de bruit quand vous conduisez,
quand vous utilisez une machine, quand vous conduisez une bicyclette ou faites du jogging
parce que vous pourriez ne pas être alertés au danger potentiel.
