IMPORTANT Monster® Performance and Safety Tips
Listen Responsibly
To avoid hearing damage, make sure that the volume on your music player
is turned down before connecting your headphones. After placing
headphones in your ears, gradually turn up the volume until you
reach a comfortable listening level.
Noise levels are measured in decibels (dB), exposure to any noise
at or above 85 dB can cause gradual hearing loss.
Monitor your use; hearing loss is a function of loudness versus time.
The louder it is, the less time you can be exposed to it. The softer it is,
the more time you can listen to it. Refer to the chart* on the following page.
This decibel (dB) table compares some common sounds and shows how
they rank in potential harm to hearing.

“…a typical person can safely listen to an iPod for 4.6 hours per day at 70% volume.”
“…knowing the levels one is listening to music at, and for how long is extremely important.”
From http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2006/10/19/music-earphones.html
Get the most out of your equipment and enjoy great audio performance even
at safe levels. Our headphones will allow you to hear more details at lower
volume levels than ever before.

Use Responsibly
Do not use headphones when it’s unsafe to do so – while operating a vehicle,
crossing streets, or during any activity or in an environment where your full attention
to your surroundings is required.
It ‘s dangerous to drive while wearing headphones, and in many places, illegal
because it decreases your chances of hearing life-saving sounds outside of your
vehicle, such as another car’s horn and emergency vehicle sirens.
Please avoid wearing your headphones while driving. Use one of Monster’s FM
transmitters to listen to your mobile media devices instead.
Learn how to establish a safe listening level and review other important safety
guidelines from the Consumer Electronics Association at www.ce.org and the
Deafness Research Foundation at www.drf.org.

Proper Insertion and Removal of Eartips
IMPORTANT: Left and Right In-Ear Speakers
™
: Having the correct
headphone side in the correct ear does affect the listening
experience. There is a Red and Blue colored dot on the bottom
of each headphone. Also note that the butterfly graphics are
a different color on the end cap of each headphone.
The headphone side with the BLUE dot and purple-blue butterfly
is for the LEFT ear. The headphone side with the RED dot and
orange butterfly is for the RIGHT ear.
1. You may wish to lightly moisten your eartips
for easier insertion.
2. Using your right hand, grasp the right headphone.
3. With your left hand, pull up and back on your right ear
to straighten your ear canal.
4. Carefully insert your right headphone, rubber eartip first, so that it seals completely
and comfortably in your ear. DO NOT insert the eartip so deeply that your ear canal
feels completely “plugged.”
5. Repeat this procedure for your left ear.
6. When you’ve finished your listening session, remove your In-Ear Speakers slowly
with a twisting motion to gradually break the seal.

Eartip Selection: Vital to Sound Quality
and Comfort
The tips on the ends of your Butterfly In-Ear Speakers™
make the difference between good sound and great sound.
With the right fit, you’ll get better isolation from unwanted
outside noise, increased bass response, better tonal
balance and the headphones will stay in your ears better. Of course, the right fit will also
feel more comfortable. Because everyone's ears are unique, Monster supplies several
sizes and designs of eartips. Getting the perfect fit with the correct tip is a matter of
experimentation. Try out all the eartips included with your Butterfly headphones to find
the best fit for the size and shape of your ear canal.
Monster recommends that you try the smallest tip first and work upwards in size until
you find a comfortable fit that has a good seal and also stays in your ears without falling
out. Also try different style tips to see which works best for you.

2. Use warm water and mild soap on a damp cloth to remove dirt and earwax
from the eartip. DO NOT use harsh cleaning agents.
3. Rinse and completely dry your eartips before placing them back
on your Butterfly.
4. Carefully push the eartips back onto the Butterfly, making sure they
are on the eartube completely.
Using The Cable Management Clip
The Cable Management Clip is designed to control the cable and keep it out
of your way, reduce accidental pulling of the In-Ear Speakers™ from your ears,
and keep the cable weight off the In-Ear Speakers so they stay snug and in place
in your ears.
1. Put Butterfly In-Ear Speaker
s
into your ears, as you usually would when listening.
2. Fasten the Cable Management Clip onto your shirt around
the chest or collar area, wherever is most convenient
for the shirt you’re wearing.
3. Grab the cable above the Cable Management Clip and pull
it slightly upward, sliding it through the clip to create
enough slack between the In-Ear Speakers and clip
to allow for head movement and to take the stress
off the in-ear headphones.
Eartip Fit Testing
A good way to gauge whether or not the eartip is sealing properly in your ear canal
is by snapping your fingers right next to your ear. If the seal is proper, your ear will
not feel “plugged,” yet the snapping of your fingers will sound dull and distant. If you
hear your finger snaps distinctly, the seal is probably not adequate. If the sound
of your finger snapping is dull and distant, but your ear feels plugged up, like you’re
on an airplane preparing to land, then you’ve over-inserted the eartip.
Using Butterfly on Flights or at High Altitudes
When using Butterfly at different altitudes, the air pressure within your ears may
change, thereby changing the sound that you hear from the headphones. This is
especially true with the gains and drops in altitude during airplane travel. To help
with this, occasionally break the eartip seal and re-insert your Butterfly into your
ears. Another helpful tip is the common exercise of holding your nose and very gently
blowing through it, which can relieve some of the pressure in your ears.
Cleaning the Eartips
Keeping your Butterfly eartips clean is essential for safe, hygienic use.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT attempt to clean the eartips without first removing them
from the Butterfly. Getting the delicate circuitry inside your Butterfly wet
may cause permanent damage.
1. Firmly grip the eartip with one hand and the earphone with the other.
Carefully remove the eartip from the eartube.

Using The Cable Slider
For further cable management, Butterfly comes
with a Cable Slider. The Cable Slider is designed
to reduce tangles during storage, as well as work
in tandem with the Cable Management Clip
to eliminate sway and bounce while in use.
During use, push the slider about halfway between
the V where the cable split, and the In-Ear Speakers,
™
then adjust for your personal comfort. This will keep
the cables in a more compact position, reducing bounce
and sway.
To use for the purpose of reducing tangles during storage,
push the Cable Slider all the way up to the In-Ear Speakers
before putting your Butterflys away. Simply push the Cable
Slider back down when ready for use.

Buttery “Break-in”
Break in time for headphones? We're kidding, right? No we're not. Like any high
performance product, whether it's cars or headphones, they're mechanical devices
that settle in after use. Your new In-Ear Speakers™ will sound incredible out of the box,
but will “mellow” out after use and sound even better. We recommend playing them
for 8 hours. After 20 hours of playing, they should be fully broken in. Enjoy.
