Before connecting your audio device, set the SELECTOR switch to suit your device. The SELECTOR
switch allows the Sound Safe Plus to work optimally with either of the two main classes of
smartphone or audio devices. Select ‘I’ for iPhone and iPod, Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note
2, HTC, Motorola, BlackBerry, LG and Palm devices. Select ‘S’ for Samsung Galaxy S, Sony Ericsson
or Nokia devices.
1. Plug the Sound Safe Plus audio plug into the headset socket of
your audio device (MP3 player, iPod®, iPhone®or smartphone).
2. Turn the volume on your audio device up to a normal
listening level and select ‘play’.
NOTE: The best sound is created by turning the volume up to about the 70 – 80% level. If the
volume on your audio device is too low the volume level from the Sound Safe may also be too
low. If the volume level on your audio source is at 100%, the sound may be distorted at high
volume levels.
3. Turn the volume on the Sound Safe Plus to the desired listening level either through the
speaker or through a headset.

care, maIntenance and precautIons
1. Although the product is waterproof, it is NOT
designed for use under water. Do NOT intentionally
submerge the unit.
2 Close both safety latches properly before use, as
shown in Fig.4. If the unit is not correctly closed,
water may enter the battery compartment and void
your warranty.
3 Do NOT open the unit when wet or in a wet
environment. Dry the unit completely before opening.
4 Do NOT use or store the unit in high temperature environments (eg: directly exposed to
sunlight for long periods or in a closed car, etc.) significant altitude/temperature change or
strong magnetic fields.
5 Always check the rubber sealing ring is properly seated and that there is no dirt, hair, sand,
audio wires or particles in the way.
6 Always clean the rubber sealing ring with a soft moist cloth before use. Do NOT use any
oily solvent or chemicals for cleaning as this may cause the rubber sealing ring to degrade
causing the Sound Safe to lose its waterproof properties.
7 If used in or around salt water, rinse with fresh water and wipe with a soft moist cloth after
each use.
8. Do NOT mix new and old batteries or rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries.
9 Alkaline batteries are recommended. Always remove the batteries if the unit will not be used
for a long period of time.
10 Noise and audio distortion may occur when the batteries are old. Replace the batteries with
new alkaline batteries or fully charged rechargeable batteries.
11. For best audio performance always ensure the SELECTOR switch (below the battery
compartment) is properly set to suit your audio device. If distortion occurs, try switching
between the ‘I’ and ‘S’ settings to determine the best selection for your audio device.
