Etymotic earphones exclude most external sounds. It is unsafe to use in-ear
earphones while operating a motorized vehicle, operating machinery,
bicycling or jogging, because you may not be alerted to potential danger.
In rare instances an eartip may come o in the ear canal when removing the
earphone. If this should occur and the eartip cannot be easily removed, it is
recommended that you promptly contact an audiologist or other medical
professional. A professional can use blunt tweezers to remove the eartip.
Consult an audiologist or physician if you have excessive ear wax, diculty
inserting the eartips, or discomfort after prolonged use.
Do not listen at excessively loud levels. Research conrms that earphones
that seal the ear canal allow listeners to listen at safer levels. Noise-induced
hearing loss is a function of exposure time, the average sound level and the
peak output of very loud sounds. A sealed eartip and lower listening levels
allow for longer periods of safe listening.

The eartips that are most comfortable are the best choice, but they
should seal well in the ears for best noise isolation and sound quality.
When changing eartips
make sure the eartip ts
securely on the stem of
the earphone.

PROPER INSERTION
Important: Sound quality, full bass response and noise isolation all depend on a good eartip seal in the ear canal. See a video demonstration of how
to get a proper t at www.etymotic.com

• 3-ange eartips: Moistening

• Foam eartips: 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
Remove earphones slowly with a twisting motion to gradually break the seal.

CHANGING FILTERS
Etymotic earphones have special lters that smooth the frequency response
and prevent earwax from entering the earphones. A lter is located
at the end of the earphone and is visible when the eartip is removed.
If a lter becomes clogged, it should be replaced. A dirty lter will reduce
earphone output. The lter should be changed if loudness decreases or the
sound quality declines. Note: Filters are not reusable.

and glider eartips frequently.
To clean 3-ange eartips:
1. Remove the eartip from the earphone.
2. Clean with water and mild soap.
3. Dry the eartip before placing it back on the earphone.
