• Always store your earphones in the provided case.
• In case of poor sound quality due to earwax in the sound bore, use
the included wax removal loop to carefully remove the earwax. Never
use any otherobject to attempt to remove the earwax as thismay
result indamage to the earphonesand will void the warranty.
• Do not use the cord to remove the earphones from your ears. This
may cause damage to the cord and result in poor performance.
Damage of this nature is not covered by the warranty.
• Do not expose your earphones to temperature extremes.
• Avoid strong impacts to your earphones.
• Wipe down your earphones after each use.
• Never immerse them in water.
Please Note: Moisture in your earphones can cause temporary performance
issues. Do not insert your earphones if your ears are wet. Always dry your ears
completely before inserting your earphones. Should you inadvertently allow water
or perspiration into the earphones and they quit working, allow to dry completely
before attempting to use again. Minor moisture build-up should dry out and not

result in permanent damage (not covered by the warranty).
