About the SwiMP3™ 2G
The SwiMP3™ 2G underwater MP3 pla er
provides an incredible audio experience
through its innovative Bone Con uction sound
transfer technolog . When the device is placed
on an bones of the skull (i.e. the cheek bones
or temple) it vibrates the audio directl into the
inner ear, b passing the ear canal. Thus
swimmers are able to clearl hear high-fidelit
music underwater where no air is present!
Wearing the Device
Place the SwiMP3™ 2G under our goggle
strap so the unit is flush against our
head.
It is recommended that the Bone
Conduction speakers be placed in front of
the ear, resting against our temple bone,
for ideal clarit .
As soon as ou insert ear plugs or
submerge our head underwater, ou will
be surrounded b high-fidelit music!
Tip: Be careful not to bend or break the goggle
clip and do no place the Bone Conduction
speakers over our ears.
