Fostex TE100 Owners Manual

 Care and storage of earphones

• The earphones may become dirty through normal use. For the earphone housing, wipe o any dirt

with tissue paper. For more delicate parts (such as the sound output holes), dust the dirt away with

the supplied cleaning brush. If the sound output holes are clogged, trouble may occur such as the

sound becoming quiet, the sound quality changing, or sound no longer coming out. In such cases,

please contact a Fostex distributor in your country listed on www.fostex.com.

• When you store the earphones in the mesh pouch, wind the cables in a gure of eight to prevent

deformation. If you put a desiccant in the mesh pouch, the earphones will be better maintained.

 Replacing the cable

Though the signal wire, coating, and connector of the cable have high durability, trouble may occur such as disconnection and noise in accordance with normal use. In such cases, use the dedicated cable provided by us. Replace only when maintenance is needed as frequent replacement is not intended.

Caution

✐

• Use the dedicated cable when you replace the cable. Using a cable which has a dierent connector type may cause trouble.

• Pinch the cable connector when you replace the cable. If you pull the cable, trouble may occur such as disconnection.

Detach the cable

Grasp and pull the cable connector from the earphone. If it is dicult, pull out while moving the cable from side to side lightly.
