Hold in place for about ten seconds while the foam expands.

Caution: If the barb or any of the nozzle is exposed, the sleeve is not properly installed. Replace sleeves if they do not tightly grip the nozzle. To ensure proper
fit and performance, use only sleeves supplied by Shure (unless using custom molded sleeves).
Wearing the Earphones
Wear them like earplugs. A good acoustic seal provides maximum bass.
Select a sleeve.
Twist and pull to remove. Push new sleeve on fully. Compress foam sleeve slightly.
Insert firmly into ear. Wear cable over and behind ear. Tighten the cable and take up slack by raising the cable cinch.

Note: Do not pull on cable to remove earphone.
Detachable Cable
You may need to detach the cable from the earphones to attach optional components or to replace the cable if it becomes
damaged. To prevent accidental separation, the connector has a snug fit. Take special care to prevent damage to the earphone
and connector.
Do not use pliers or other tools.
Grasp the connector and the earphone as close as possible to where they join.
Pullstraightapart—donottwist.Cableisasnapfit,notthreaded.
Note: If you pull at an angle, the connector will not detach.
Do not pull on the cable or put any pressure on the earphone nozzle.
Listen for a click when connecting.
When reattaching the cable, match the "L" and "R" markings. For clear cables and earphones, match the color dots
(Red=Right, Blue=Left).

Cleaning the Earphone Nozzle
If you notice a change in sound quality, remove the sleeve and check the nozzle of your earphone. If nozzle is blocked, clear
obstruction by using wire loop end of cleaning tool.
If no obstruction is found or if sound quality does not improve, replace the sleeve with a new sleeve.
Caution: When cleaning, do not force any object through the earphone nozzle! This will damage the earphone sound filter.
Warning: The cleaning tool is only to be used to clean the earphones. Any other use, such as using the tool to clean ears or foam sleeve, could result in injury.
The cable connectors to the earphones may collect debris or other deposits that can affect audio quality. If this happens, disconnect the cables and clean them
using a dry cotton swab.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Careful maintenance ensures a tight seal between the sleeve and nozzle, improving sound quality and product safety.
Keep the earphones and sleeves as clean and dry as possible.
To clean sleeves, remove them from earphones, gently rinse in warm water and air dry. Foam sleeves require a longer
drying time. Inspect for damage and replace if necessary. Ear sleeves must be completely dry before reusing.
Wipe the earphones and sleeves with mild antiseptic to avoid infections. Do not use alcohol-based disinfectants.
