Almportant Monster Perfonnance and Safety Tips
• To avoid hearing damage, make sure that the volume on your music player
is turned down before connecting your Miles Davis Tribute™ Jazz Headphones.
After placing Tributes in your ears, gradually turn up the volume until you reach
a comfortable listening level.
• Avoid listening at high volume levels for prolonged periods. This may cause
permanent hearing damage or loss.
• Be aware of your surroundings and use Tributes responsibly. Do not use Tributes
when it is unsafe to do so - while operating a vehicle, crossing streets at
crosswalks, or during any activity or environment where your full attention to your
surroundings are required.
• Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level-Tributes
will allow you to hear more details at lower volume levels then ever before.
• Learn how to establish a safe listening level and review other important safety
guidelines from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) at http://www.ce.org/
and the Deafness Research Foundation at http://www.drf.org/. Information courtesy

Eartip Selection: Vital to Optimal Sound
Quality and Comfort _
The tips on the ends of your Tributes make
the difference between good sound and great sound.
With the right fit, you'll get better isolation from unwanted
outside noise, increased bass response, and better tonal balance. Of course,
the right fit will also feel more comfortable. Because everyone1s ears are unique,
Monster~ supplies several sizes and designs of eartips. Getting the perfect fit
with the correct tip is a matter of experimentation. Try out all the eartips included
with your Tributes to find the best fit for the size and shape of your ear canal.
Choose the eartip that is large enough to create a complete seal in your ear canal,
yet isn't not too large so that it becomes uncomfortable.
Revolver Eartip Case
Because Tributes come included with multiple sizes and shapes of eartips, we
have also supplied a unique Revolver Eartip Case to store un-used tips. This will
reduce clutter and keep eartips from getting lost. To use, simply press the eartips
into the storage compartments to insert and press on the back to remove.

IMPORTANT: Left and Right In-Ear Headphones:
There are "L" and "R" markings on each in-ear headphones.
"L" is for the left ear. "R" is for the right ear.
1. You may wish to lightly moisten your eartips for easier insertion.
2. Using your right hand, grasp the right in-ear headphones.
3. With your left hand, pull up and back on your right ear
to straighten your ear canal.
4. Carefully insert your right in-ear headphones so that it seals
completely and comfortably in your ear. DO NOT insert the in-ear
headphones so deeply that your ear canal feels completely "plugged."
5. Repeatthis procedure for your left ear.
6. When you've finished your listening session, remove your Tributes
slowly with atwisting motion to gradually break the seal.
Tributes Eartip Fit Testing
A good way to gauge whether or not the eartip is sealing properly in your ear canal
is by snapping your fingers right next to your ear. If the seal is proper, your ear will not feel
"plugged," yet the snapping of your fingers will sound dull and distant. If you hear your
finger snaps distinctly, the seal is probably not adequate. If the sound of your finger snapping
is dull and distant, but your ear feels plugged up, like you're on an airplane preparing to land,
then you've over-inserted the eartip.

Using Tributes on Flights or At High Altitudes:
When using Tributes at different altitudes, the air pressure within your ears may
change, thereby changing the sound that you hear from the headphones. This is
especially true with the gains and drops in altitude during airplane travel. To help
with this, occasionally break the eartip seal and re-insert your Tributes into your
ears. Another helpful tip is the common exercise of holding your nose and very gently
blowing through it, which can relieve some of the pressure in your ears.
Cleaning the Eartips
Keeping Tribute™ headphones clean is essential for safe, hygienic use.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT attempt to clean the eartips without first removing them
from the Tributes. Getting the delicate circuitry inside your Tributes
wet may cause permanent damage.
1. Firmly grip the eartip with one hand and the earphone with the other.
Carefully remove the eartip from the eartube.
2. Use warm water and mild soap on a damp cloth to remove dirt and earwax
from the eartip. DO NOT use harsh cleaning agents.
3. Rinse and completely dry your eartips before placing them back on your
Tribute headphones.
4. Carefully push the eartips back onto the Tributes, making sure they
are on the eartube completely.

Using The Cable Management Clip
The Cable Management Clip is designed to control the cable and keep it out of your
way, reduce accidental pulling of the earbuds from your ears, and keep the cable
weight off the in-ear headphones so they stay snug and in place in your ears.
1. Put Tribute™ in-ear headphones into your ears, as you usually would
when listening.
2. Fasten the Cable Management Clip onto your shirt around
the chest or collar area, wherever is most convenient
for the shirt you're wearing.
3. Grab the cable above the Cable Management Clip
and pull it slightly upward, sliding it through the clip
to create enough slack between the in-ear headphones
and clip to allow for head movement and to take
the stress off the in-ear headphones.

Using The Cable Slider
For further cable management, Tributes come
with a Cable Slider. The Cable Slider is designed to reduce
tangles during storage, as well as work in tandem with the
Cable Management Clip to eliminate sway and bounce while
In use.
During use, push the slider about halfway between the
V where the cable split, and the in-ear headphones, then
adjust for your personal comfort. This will keep the cables
in a more compact position, reducing bounce and sway.
To use for the purpose of reducing tangles during storage,
push the Cable Slider all the way up to the in-ear headphones
before putting your Tributes away. Simply push the Cable Slider
back down when ready for use.

Care and Storage
• When not in use, always store your Tributes in the protective case
provided. Keep the case closed, and store in a clean, dry environment.
• Avoid exposure to liquids, temperature extremes and high humidity.
• Do not store other items in the case with your Tributes, as this may
result in damage or contamination.
• Never pull on the cable to disconnect Tributes from your music player.
Instead, grasp the plug at the end of the cable and pull to disconnect.
Tribute™ "Break-in"
Like pair of shoes, headphone speakers will go through a"break-in" period. What
this means for you is that sound characteristics will change slightly over time. But
the change will be for the better. So as good as your Tributes sound right now, they'll
sound even better as the "Ioosen up" a bit.
