Identification and Controls USE PICTURES HERE
Identifying right and left earphones

Earphones are clearly marked L for the left ear and R for the right ear.
Note: Some users have found that the earphones are more comfortable with the left earphone in
the right ear and vice versa. If correct channel representation is critical to the user’s enjoyment of
recorded materials, the earphones can be reprogrammed so that left and right channels are
reversed, but the earphone labels will retain the same L and R designators.

Controls

• Play/Pause

• Volume Up

• Volume Down

Pairing

Made for iPod® Adapter.

Ety8 and the iPod adapter are paired together at the factory.

To pair the earphones with another Bluetooth device.

Follow the instructions of the other device with the following specific instructions for the ety8
earphones. To allow ety8 earphones to be “found,” they need to be in a “discoverable” mode :

• Make sure the earphones are powered off.

• Then press and hold the ON button for about 10 seconds.

• The LED on the earphones will flash rapidly.

• The earphones will stay in a discoverable mode for five minutes or until the pairing

completes.

• Follow the instructions for the other device. If a passkey is requested, enter “0000”

.

Volume Adjustment

When using the earphones with the iPod via the adapter, the volume adjustment is made
on the earphones, not on the iPod. This ensures the highest quality signal at the
earphones.

Charging the Earphones

Charge the earphones for at least one hour before first use. A complete charge from a near­empty battery will take about two hours. When charging, the LED glows yellow. When charging
is complete, the LED glows green if the unit is on. If the unit is off, the LED turns off when
charging is complete.

Overcharging

It is not possible to overcharge the earphones.

Battery life

• Up to 10 hours of listening time, depending on the iPod or other device.

• When there is less than one hour of use left, the LED slowly blinks green.

Auto Shut Off:

If the earphones are turned on but there is no music playing, the earphones will turn off after five
minutes.

Charging the Made for iPod® Adapter

The Made for iPod® adapter uses the power provided by the iPod battery and does not need
charging. Since it uses the iPod battery, use of the Made for iPod® adapter will reduce the
battery life of the iPod.

Using the Earphones
Power On with an iPod

• iPod should be OFF.

• Press the On/Play/Pause button for three seconds to turn the earphones on. The green

LED will light when the earphones are turned on.

• Plug the adapter into the iPod.

• When the earphones have connected to the iPod source and the device is playing audio,

the Made for iPod® adapter LED glows green.

• The following key presses are available to the user from the earphone:

1. Play/Pause

2. Volume Up

3. Volume Down

4. Previous Track

5. Next Track

Power Off

• While the earphones are on, press the On/Play/Pause button for three seconds to turn
the earphones off. The green LED goes out when the earphones are turned off.
