INSERTING THE EARPHONES
If the earphone seems to be lacking in low frequency response (bass), check the
tightness of the seal between the earphone and your ear, or try one of the other
sleeve options.
Warning: Do not push the earphone sleeve beyond the ear canal opening.
Make sure that the sleeve completely
covers the earphone nozzle and is pushed
over the earphone nozzle barb. If any part
of the nozzle is exposed, the sleeve is not
properly installed. Replace the sleeves if
they do not grip the nozzle tightly.

CHOOSING AN EARPHONE SLEEVE
Your earphones come with a selection of sleeves. Make sure the sleeve you
choose is easy to insert into your ear, fits comfortably, and is easy to remove
from your ear.
Foam Sleeves
When using the foam sleeves, compress the sleeve between
your fingers before inserting it into the ear canal. Hold the
earphone in place for about ten seconds while the foam
expands and creates a tight seal.
Soft Flex Sleeves
In small, medium, and large sizes. Made from pliable rubber.
Triple-Flange Sleeves
If desired, the sleeve nozzle may be shortened. Use sharp
scissors to carefully trim the nozzle to the desired length.
Flex Sleeves
In small, medium, and large sizes. Made from translucent
PVC.
Note: carefully slide the sleeve over the earphone nozzle barb for a secure grip.

CLEANING THE EARPHONE NOZZLE
If the nozzle of your earphone is blocked, clean the nozzle using the supplied
wax removal loop.
