CAN CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING DAMAGE.
USE THE LOWEST VOLUME LEVEL POSSIBLE.
To use this system safely, avoid prolonged listening at excessive sound pressure levels.
Please use the following guidelines established by the U.S. Occupational Safety Health
Administration (OSHA) on maximum time exposure to sound pressure levels before hearing damage occurs.
90 dB SPL at 8 hours
95 dB SPL at 4 hours
100 dB SPL at 2 hours
120 dB SPL - avoid or hearing damage may occur
It is difficult to measure the exact Sound Pressure Levels (SPL) present at the eardrum, since
the SPL in the ear is affected by ambient sound from floor wedges or other devices in addition
to the volume setting on the PSM. The isolation provided by the fit of quality earphones is
also an important factor in determining the SPL in the ear.
Here are some general tips to follow for safe use of this product:
1. Turn up the volume control only far enough to hear properly.
2. Ringing in the ears may indicate that the gain levels are too high. Try lowering
the gain levels.
3. 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.
4. 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.
The Shure E Series earphones are designed for use with Shure Personal Monitor Systems.
They are also ideally suited for use with CD players, MP3 players, notebook computers and
any other listening device that has a 3.5 mm (
1
/8-inch) stereo output.

EARPHONE COMPONENTS
The earphone components are illustrated below, using the E2 model as an example. Earphone shapes vary, depending on the model.
Earphones: When properly inserted in the ear, the Shure logo will appear right-side up
on the outside of the earphone with the cable exit pointing upwards. For complete instructions on inserting earphones, see page 4.
Sleeves: All earphone models come with a pair of sleeves installed and an additional
assortment of flex and foam sleeves. See Sleeve Varieties on page 5.
Adjustment Tube: For a secure fit, slide the adjustment tube up and down to adjust the
slack of the cables leading to the earphones.
Input Connector: 3.5 mm (
put of a listening device.

/8-inch) plug connects to the 3.5 mm stereo earphone out-
Nozzle: This part of the earphone, which is covered by the sleeve, delivers the sound
into the ear canal. It’s important to keep this component clean (see Care and Cleaning
on page 7).
Wax Guard: (model E2 only) The earphones include special wax guards (not installed)
for preventing earwax from entering the nozzle. For instructions on installing the wax
guards, see page 9.

INSERTING THE EARPHONES
The quality of both the frequency response and the sound isolation depend on how well the
earphone sleeve seals the ear canal.
response, try one of the other sleeve options to obtain a better seal.
1. Insert the earphones using the following guidelines:
If the earphone seems to be lacking in low frequency
• Note the difference between the right and left earphones:
E2: earphone all one color = left ear
bicolored earphone = right ear
E3: earphone with blue dot and “L” = left ear
earphone with red dot and “R” = right ear
E5: earphone with blue dot = left ear
earphone with red dot = right ear
When inserting the earphones, pull the ear upward and outward to straighten out the ear canal, as illustrated.
• Flex sleeves - Try the different sizes to deter-
mine the best fit for comfort and isolation.
• Foam sleeves - Compress the foam sleeve at
the end of the earphone by rolling it between
your thumb and forefinger. Insert the earphone into your ear and hold it in place for
about 10 seconds while the foam expands and
creates a tight seal. The E2 comes with three
sizes of foam sleeves: try the different sizes to
determine the most comfortable fit.
2. E2 and E3: wrap the earphone cord over the top and down the back of the ear.
E5: wrap the formfitting wire over the top and down the back of the ear.
3. Use the adjustment tube to secure the cables comfortably.

SLEEVE VARIETIES
Your earphones include a fit kit with a variety of sleeve options so you can find the best sleeve
fit for any application. The E3 and E5 also come with a cleaning tool (see Figure 1 on page 7)
and the E2 comes with wax guards (see the Wax Guard section on page 9) to prevent wax
buildup in the earphone nozzle.

ENGLISH
Foam Sleeves. These disposable foam sleeves compress to fit in the ear
canal. Once in the ear, the foam expands to form a tight seal. Once tightly
sealed, the sleeves hold the earphones firmly in place. The E3 and E5 come
with yellow foam sleeves. The E2 earphones come with three sizes of orange foam
sleeves to choose from—small, medium or large—for the best fit.
Flex Sleeves. These reusable sleeves, made of a clear pliable plastic
(PA756) or a soft, gray silicone rubber (PA758), fit comfortably in the ear and
allow for ease of insertion. Choose from 3 sizes—small, medium or large—
for the best fit. These should be cleaned regularly, using alcohol wipes or
an antiseptic.
Triple-Flange Sleeves (optional accessory for E3 and E5 only). These
reusable sleeves form a tighter seal than flex sleeves while holding the
earphones firmly in place. These should be cleaned regularly, using
alcohol wipes or an antiseptic.
CHANGING SLEEVES
The sleeves at the end of the earphones can be replaced by sliding them off and on. A combination of twisting and pulling is recommended for sleeve removal.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the sleeve completely covers the nozzle. If the nozzle is exposed, the
sleeve is not properly installed.
ROUGH SIDE
NOTE: On each foam sleeve there is a rough side and a smooth side. For greater comfort, Shure recommends that you place the smooth side facing out, away from the earphone. On the E2 model earphones, the sleeve will only fit the earphone properly with
the smooth side facing out.

CARE AND CLEANING
Follow these tips to prevent service costs and ear infections:
•Avoid getting moisture in the nozzle, as this can adversely affect sound quality.
Sweat entering the nozzle may cause the earphone to temporarily stop working.
However, normal operation often returns after the earphone dries out.
•Avoid striking or dropping the earphones. Extreme shock can damage them.
•Return earphones to carrying pouch when not in use.
•E3/E5: clean the nozzles after each use using the supplied wax removal tool.
WAX REMOVAL LOOP

FIGURE 1: E3/E5 Wax Removal
•E2: Routinely check the wax guard on the tips of the nozzles (see figure 2 on
page 9). If the wax guards appear to be clogged, replace them.
•Foam sleeves should be disposed of and replaced when they get dirty.
•Flex and triple-flange sleeves should be cleaned with an antiseptic or soapy
water after each use and when sharing.
•Always remove the sleeve from the earphone nozzle before cleaning.

•Wipe down the case and cable with an antiseptic after each use. Stop using the
earphones if they are causing great discomfort or infection.
CAUTION: Shure earphones are not immersible. Make sure flex and flange
sleeves are completely dry before replacing on earphone nozzles.
NOTE: Nozzles can collect cerumen (earwax), which can clog the earphone and lower
the sound quality. If you experience sound loss, check the nozzles for clogging before
sending the product in for service. There is a service charge for removing wax.
