Here are a few simple guidelines that can greatly increase your listening enjoyment
and the lifespan of yourWestone Audio earphones:

loop to carefully remove the earwax. Never use any other object to attempt to remove the
earwax as this may result in damage to the earphones and will void the warranty.

4.) To avoid damage when the earphones are not in use, always store them in the carrying case.

• Do not expose your earphones to temperature extremes.
• Wipe down your earphones after each use.
• If the earphone volume seems diminished, inspect the output nozzle for built-up/impacted
earwax (cerumen). Use the cerumen removal tool (included) to ick the impacted cerumen
out of the output nozzle. Never use any other tool/object to remove impacted cerumen as
this could damage the earphone and void the warranty.
• Wipe the earphones and cable with a soft clean dry cloth occasionally to clean them and
remove any foreign material. This is especially important after vigorous exercise, the
earphones and cables should always be wiped down to remove perspiration.
Please Note:
Never insert earphones into the ear, if the ear is wet or covered with perspiration, always
dry ears before inserting earphones. Moisture in the earphone output nozzle can cause
temporary performance problems. If water or perspiration should inadvertently nd its way
into the output nozzle of the earphone, and it stops working, please allow the earphone to
dry completely (8 hours-24 hours). When dry the earphone will should function properly.
(Extended exposure to moisture or submersion in liquids of any kind could result in permanent
damage and is not covered by the warranty.)
