Safety Information
Please read
this
owner's
and
product
guide
Reading this
guide
will ensure proper and safe use
of
your
Soul®
headphones. Follow
all operation guidelines and adhere
to
all safety warnings and cautions.
~Warning
Use
your
headphones responsibly. Exposure
to
excessively loud noise can cause Noise
Induced Hearing
Loss
(NIHL). "The loudness
of
sound
is
measured in units called deci-
bels. For example,
the
humming
of
a refrigerator
is
40 decibels, normal conversation
is
approximately 60 decibels, and city traffic noise can be
85
decibels. Sources
of
noise
that
can cause NIHL include motorcycles, firecrackers, and small firearms, all
emitting
sounds
from
120
to
150 decibels. Long
or
repeated exposure
to
sounds at
or
above
85
decibels can cause hearing loss. The louder
the
sound,
the
shorter
the
time
period
before NIHL can occur. Sounds
of
less
than
75
decibels, even after long exposure, are
unlikely
to
cause hearing loss."

Using Your
Soul®
In-Ear Headphones
Carefully remove your
Soul®
headphones from
the
protective packaging.
You
will also
find
two
additional pairs
of
ear tips inside
the
road storage
case.
Proper Ear
tip
Selection
Your
Soul®
headphones include three pairs
of
ear tips. One pair
of
medium sized tips
are already installed on your headphones and there are
two
additional pairs inside the
storage
case
(large and small). Proper
fit
of
the
headphones in your
ears
is
essential for
the
best possible sound performance and comfort. Improper
fit
will
not
allow you
to
take full advantage
of
the sound quality.
By
selecting the right set
of
ear tips you will
create a proper
seal
for sound isolation from external noises.
You
will also be able
to
fully benefit from increased
bass
response and overall better sound.
Ear Tip Replacement
Try
the
fit
of
the headphones
with
the tips already installed. Ifthe headphones feel
too
loose, then replace the tips with
the
slightly larger tips provided. Ifthey feel
too
tight
replace
with
the smaller tips provided.
1.
Firmly grip the portion
of
the right headphone
with
one hand.
2.
Gently pull the ear
tip
from the right headphone.
You
may need
to
rotate back and forth for
easy
removal and
to
prevent damage
to
the existing tips. Repeat procedure for left
headphone.
3.
While holding the right headphone, gently insert the new ear
tip
onto the ear
tip
tube
until
it
is
firmly secured
to
the headphone. Repeat procedure for left headphone. Once again you
may need
to
use
a rotating back and forth motion
to
insert the ear tips on the headphone ear
tip
tube.
Once you have found the proper fit, you are ready
to
start enjoying the full range and
quality
of
your
Soul®
headphones.
Ear Tip Maintenance
It
is
recommended that you clean your ear tips on a regular
basis.
This will maintain
the
sound quality
of
your headphones
so
you
can
continue
to
enjoy your music and
benefit from the full sound range. It
is
also
important
to
clean your ear tips
to
maintain

Gently remove the ear tips from
the
headphones.

warm water and
mild soap. Remove all
