IMPORTANT SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
PLEASE READ BEFORE USING YOUR EARPHONES.
Before inserting earphones into the ear canal, set volume to the lowest level then
gradually increase until desired volume level is reached. • Avoid listening at high
volume levels for long periods of time. Noise levels are measured in decibels (dB).
Regular exposure to noise at or above 85dB can cause hearing loss. Monitor your
listening as hearing loss happens over time. Refer to the guidelines on the Consumer Electronics Association’s website relating to safe listening levels: http://www.
ce.org/PDF/ListenLifetime_spread.pdf • Do not use earphones at
times when your attention is required—such as driving, operating heavy machinery, bicycling, or jogging. It is dangerous and in many jurisdictions illegal to drive
wearing noise-isolating earphones because it dramatically decreases your chance
of hearing life saving sounds around you such as car horns or emergency sirens.
• Flying at high altitudes may cause pressure build up in your ears. While
in-flight, remove earphones periodically to relieve pressure. • This product
generates strong permanent magnetic fields that could cause interference
with cardiac pacemakers and implanted defibrillators (ICDs). Maintain a distance of at least 4-inches (10cm) between the earphones and the medical
device. • Do not expose product to heat (hair dryer, radiators, etc.) and do
not store in direct sunlight for extended periods of time. • Protect product
from moisture. • In rare instance an ear tip may come off in the ear canal when removing the earphones. If this should occur and the ear tip cannot be easily removed, it is recommended that you promptly contact a medical
professional. A professional can use blunt tweezers to remove the ear tip. •
Consult a medical professional if you have excessive ear wax, difficulty inserting the ear tips, or discomfort after prolonged use. • Avoid dropping and
strong impact. • Do not use in-ear earphones without a proper ear tip.
• Do not pull the cord to remove the earphones from the ear or from the audio
device. • Clean or replace ear tips prior to use by other persons.

SELECTING AND INSERTING EAR TIPS
Select an ear tip that fits comfortably and forms a good seal in your ear canals.
Tips should fit snugly but not tightly. When properly inserted, with the volume
down, you should not be able to easily hear nearby people talking. With the
volume up, you should have good sound quality with deep, extended bass.
Carefully insert tips by pushing them into place. Some users may find it easiest to
insert by pulling up on the back of the ear. Other users may find a slow twisting
motion aides with insertion.
The earphone with an ‘R’ is for the right ear. The earphone with an ‘L’ is for the left
ear. You can also use the red/white colored ear tips to quickly distinguish between
the right and left earphone. We recommend always putting the red ear tip on the
right earphone.
REMOVING EAR TIPS
Never remove the earphones by pulling the cord. Remove by grasping the body of
the earphone between your fingers and slowly pulling out until the seal is broken.
Some users may find that a slow twisting motion will ease removal.
ADJUSTING THE CABLE SLIDER
A cable slider is included to help assure a comfortable fit and reduce tangles. The
cable slider is located immediately above the area where the cord splits and can
slide up and down the cord to customize fit. To reduce tangles we recommend
positioning the slider at top of the cord near the remote when in storage.

MICROPHONE AND REMOTE (NON-APPLE PRODUCTS)
The earphones will play audio from any source with a standard 3.5mm 3-conductor
(stereo headphone) socket. The microphone will function with most smart phones
and similar devices with a standard 3.5mm 4-conductor socket (stereo headphone
+ microphone). The remote control will function with some non-Apple smart
phones, digital media players, and similar devices. Exact functions of the remote
will vary by make and model and MartinLogan cannot guarantee compatibility with
specific brands or models.
BREAK IN
Allow approximately 15–30 hours of break in at moderate listening levels before
any critical listening. Like most high-performance audio reproduction devices, a
break-in period should result in improved performance. For rapid break-in you may
choose to leave the earphones connected to an audio source playing music during
the night or when otherwise not in use.
CLEANING
To clean the earphones lightly wipe the ear
piece and cord with a slightly damp cloth. If
the ear tips become clogged, remove the
ear tips and gently squeeze the clog out of
the ear tip shaft or extract using a pin. Never
attempt to remove clogs while the ear tips are
installed on the earphone. Never get the
earphones wet. Never use solvents and other
harsh cleaning products as they will permanently damage the earphones.
