Sport Ear Buds with Detachable Ear Hooks and In-Line Volume Control

Cord Managment

The hang tag at this top of the package also functions as a convenient cord management device. Pass the headphone plug through the opening in the hang tag as shown and then wind the headphone cord around the hang tag. This will keep your headphone cord tangle free and always ready to use.

Using Your iHome FIT Sport Ear Buds

Your ear buds are assembled into the ear hooks at the time of purchase. You may use the ear buds together with the hooks for a more secure fit while performing strenuous exercise, or detach the ear buds from the hooks when the hooks are not required.

The earpieces are marked “L” and “R”. Place the “L” earpiece in your left ear and the “R” earpiece in your right ear for proper fit and best sound. If the earpieces are inserted incorrectly they will not fit properly in your ears and the sound quality will not be satisfactory. Some users may place the hooks over their ears first and then insert the tips in their ears. Others may find it easier to place the tips in their ears first and then position the soft rubber hooks over their ears. Either method is acceptable.

NOTE: When using this model without the hooks you have two options:

Option A – You may still route the cables up and over your ears as shown in the following illustration:

Option B: If you prefer not to have the cable routed over your ears you may chose to have the cable extend directly downward from your ears. In this case should place the ‘L’ bud in your right ear and the ‘R’ bud in your left ear, as shown in the following illustration.

Your iHome FIT Sport Ear Buds are supplied with three sets of silicon tips (S, M and L). The ‘M’ size tips were installed at our factory. If you find that the ‘M’ size tips are either too large or too small for your ears you may change to the ‘S’ or ‘L’ size tips. To change the tips, carefully pull the installed tips off the earpieces and push the new tips on to the earpieces as shown in the illustration

Option A

Option B

IMPORTANT: Make sure that the new tips are fully seated on the earpieces so that the tips do not come off when you remove the earpieces from your ears. If one of the tips remains in your ear canal and you cannot easily remove it, seek medical attention to avoid forcing the tip further into your ear canal.

Using the In-Line Volume Control

You may have to adjust the volume control on your music player as well as the In-Line Volume Control on your headphones to find the most satisfactory sound level. If one control is set too low and the other is set too high, the sound may be distorted. Try setting the volume control on your music player halfway between the Min and Max settings, and then use the In-Line Volume Control on your iHome FIT headphones to make final adjustments.

The volume control includes a convenient clothing clip to secure the cable to your clothing while jogging or exercising.

Safety Information

To protect your hearing, always start listening with the Volume Control of your music player set to a low level and gradually increase the volume to a comfortable listening level.

IMPORTANT! Listening at high volume for long periods of time can result in long-term hearing damage. For your safety, do not use headphones if they would prevent you from hearing warning sounds, such as while driving a car or motorcycle, riding a bike, etc.

NOTE: In extremely cold or dry air conditions you may notice a slight ‘tingling’ feeling in your ears when using in-ear headphones. This is the result of the build-up of static electricity in your body. This is normal and not an indication of any problem with your headphones.
