Using the Velcro
If the binocular clip does not fit your binocular model,
use the Velcro strips instead. Place one strip down the
middle of the Super Ear (over the binocular clip mount).
Place the other strip on a relatively flat part of your bin-
oculars. Experiment to find the best Velcro placement,
depending upon your particular binocular design.
NOTE: When using your Super Ear outdoors, protect
the amplifier from exposure to moisture. This device is
not waterproof.
User Tip
1. This amplifier has a maximum gain of over 50 dB.
At approximately 3/4 open on the volume control,
full volume is achieved. If you turn the volume con-
trol all the way up there is no additional real sound
gain, BUT may result in an annoying feedback noise.
Simply turn the volume control down to eliminate
feedback.
2. If headphones not in use are placed near the amplifier
while it is turned on, feedback squeal will result.
Always turn your Super Ear off before you remove
the headphones.
