CAUTIONS

Here are some general tips to follow for safe use of this product:

S Turn up the volume control only far enough to hear properly.
S Ringing in the ears may indicate that the volume level is too high. Try lowering

the volume.

S If you are connecting these earphones to an airplane’s sound system, listen at low

levels so when loud messages from the pilot break into the program you do not experi­ence discomfort.

S Shure recommends that you have your ears checked by an audiologist on a regular

basis. If you experience wax buildup in your ears, stop using the earphones until an
audiologist has examined your ears.

S Wipe the earphones with an antiseptic before and after use to avoid infections.

Stop using the earphones if they are causing great discomfort or infection.
