WildEar Hearing Booster User manual

Powering On/Off (cont.)
It is suggested that each device be removed from your
ear before disengaging battery door to turn power off.
The device’s memory is configured to reset each time the
battery is disconnected.
Each time the device is turned off the memory resets to
the default setting of Program #1 and mid-range volume.
Once you’ve become familiar with the settings that work
best for you, take note of what program channel and
volume settings you prefer and reset when you wear the
product the next time. To keep the product in the best
possible condition, as well as to avoid moisture problems
from occurring, it is best to always open each battery
door and place the product back within its case when
not in use. This shuts each unit off while allowing any
accumulated moisture to evaporate.
Though WildEarTM battery
life is very long, if the door
is left closed it will lead to
shortened battery life even
when not in use.

How to Place WildEar™Properly Into Your Ear
Every WildEarTM is unique in shape, though all have common
features. While holding the top and bottom of the device
between your thumb and index finger, insert the canal portion
gently into your ear canal and rotate counter clockwise as you
install; the device should gently slide into place within your ear
and secure firmly.
It’s very important that each device fits properly to provide
maximum protection and to avoid unwanted oscillation or
squealing. You will feel a noticeable and firm fit when the
device properly sits within your ear.

Cleaning the Sound Port
The human ear has a natural defense mechanism to create
more ear wax when anything is placed within it for a period
of time. Hence each device will, over time, accumulate ear
wax within the sound port at the end of the canal, which will
impact the sound quality if not cleaned. Routine sound port
cleaning will be necessary when the sound quality becomes
weak/ distorted or when visible wax blockage is evident within
the end of the sound tube.
When necessary, gently clean the sound port with the wax tool
provided. Using the small metal loop, gently place within the
sound port and scoop out visible wax accumulation until the
port is clean and free of all wax.
Note:Only insert the metal loop in the very end of the sound tube.
Inserting tool too deep may cause damage to the speaker.

Removal and Placement of Vent Plug
The Vent plug is a flexible, tapered silicone plug. For all gun
hunting, firmly insert the plug into the vent channel as shown,
placing it securely. Press it in tightly to secure it and the
tapered fit will tighten up as you push into the vent channel.
When preparing for any non-gun-based hunting simply grab
the vent plug firmly and pull outward, storing the plug within
the carrying case for later use.
Important note: It’s an absolute must to make sure vent plug is properly
in place and secured before any gun-based shooting applications. If vent
plug is not properly installed, a portion of the high-pressure sound level
from a gun discharge can pass through the channel to your eardrum,
offering little or no hearing protection.
Caring For Your Product
WildEarTM Hearing Boosters are built to the highest level
of quality and reliability on the market today. Yet even so,
they must be cared for properly to assure they stay in top
condition. Doing so will assure each device works at peak
performance for all your hunting and sporting events.
When not in use, keep the battery door open and place
within your customized wooden storage box. This assures
any accumulated moisture evaporates when not in use.
Wipe units with a clean, dry cloth to remove accumulated
wax buildup, which is common.
Though we have taken every measure to assure they
work in the toughest environments, direct submersion
in water is their worst enemy. Always use the lanyard
provided and keep devices out of direct rainfall or under
the appropriate head gear suitable for your
sporting activity.
