earphone and a directional microphone placed close to the

mouth provides exceptional sound quality and clear

communication at both ends of the conversation.The etyBlu

headset was developed by Etymotic Research for use in high

levels of background noise. The boom is detachable. Another

Getting Started

Before using the etyBlu headset:

• Fully charge the headset.Typical charging time from empty is
2-3 hours; 80% charge in 1 hour

• Pair the headset with a Bluetooth-enabled device,e.g.,
cell phone,PDA, computer

Selecting an Eartip

When properly inserted,the headset is self-suppor ting in the ear
canal. An optional earloop is supplied with the headset. The
earloop can be used on either ear.Sound quality and noise
isolation depend on a good eartip seal.

Insertion

• Carefully insert the earpiece while
pulling up and out on the back of
the ear.

• Twist the earpiece while inserting
until outside noise is blocked out.

• Position the earpiece for best fit
and comfort.
Flanged eartip: Moistening eases insertion.

•
Foam eartip: Roll down or compress foam eartip before

•
inserting. Hold the eartip in place for about 5 seconds while
the foam expands to create a tight seal in the ear canal.

Removal

To avoid discomfort,remove the headset slowly with a twisting
motion to gradually break the seal.Open jaw slightly to equalize
pressure,because suction can occur when the ear tip is removed.

Wearing the EtyBlu

Important: To insure optimal performance it is important that
the eartip seals the ear canal.

• Choose an eartip that fits.

• Push the earloop through the earloop hole and adjust it to fit
comfortably on the ear. The earpiece is designed to be
self-supporting in the ear canal, so the earhook is optional.

• When using the boom, there is
only one way to attach it to the
headset. Bend the gooseneck
so that the tip of the microphone
is close to the mouth.

• The etyBlu headset can be worn
on either ear.
