I troductio
The Etymotic etyBlu dual mode,noise-isolating headset
contains two microphones.One microphone is located internally
at the end of the earpiece; the other,BLUmaxx™,a highly
directional, noise-rejecting microphone quickly connects to the
earpiece. The combination of an in-ear noise-isolating earphone
and a directional microphone placed close to the mouth provides
exceptional sound quality and clear communication at both ends
of the conversation. The etyBLU headset was developed by
Etymotic Research for use in high levels of background noise.
Another Etymotic first.

Dual Modes—Two Ways to Use
Internal Mic Mode
The earpiece is designed to
be self-supporting in the
ear canal,so the earloop
is optional. Push the earloop
through the earloop holder
and adjust for a secure fit.
BLUmaxx Mic Mode
Exceptional clarity in noisy
environments.
- Gives up to 25 dB more
noise cancellation of the
talkers voice compared
to the internal mic.
Important: To ensure optimal performance it is important that
the eartip seals the ear canal.

I sertio
Important: Sound quality and noise
isolation depend on a good eartip seal.
• Carefully insert the earpiece
while pulling up and out on the
back of the ear.
• Twist the earpiece while inserting
until outside noise is blocked out.
• Position the earpiece for best fit and comfort.
•Flanged eartip: Moistening eases insertion.
•Foam eartip: Roll down or compress foam eartip before
inserting. Hold the eartip in place for about 5 seconds while
the foam expands to create a tight seal in the ear canal.
Removal
To avoid discomfort, remove the headset slowly with a twisting
motion to gradually break the seal.Open jaw slightly to equalize
pressure,because suction can occur when the eartip is removed.
