Make sure that the sleeve completely covers
the earphone nozzle. If any part of the nozzle is

exposed, the sleeve is not properly installed

CHOOSING AN EARPHONE SLEEVE

Your earphones come with a selection of sleeves. Make sure the sleeve you
use is easy to insert into your ear, fits comfortably, and is easy to remove from
your ear.

Flex Sleeves

In small, medium, and large sizes. Made from translucent
PVC.

Soft Flex Sleeves

In small, medium, and large sizes. Made from pliable rubber.

Foam Sleeves

When using the foam sleeves, compress the sleeve between
your fingers before inserting it into the ear canal. Hold the
earphone in place for about ten seconds while the foam
expands and creates a tight seal.

Triple-Flange Sleeves

If desired, the sleeve nozzle may be shortened. Use sharp
scissors to carefully trim the nozzle to the desired length.

Use a slow twisting motion to remove the earphones. Never pull on
the earphone cord.

Warning: If a sleeve becomes lodged in your ear, seek skilled medical
assistance to remove the sleeve. Damage to the ear may be caused
by non-professionals attempting to remove the sleeve.

Prior to inserting the earphone, always recheck the sleeve to make
sure it is firmly attached to the nozzle.

Turn up the volume control only far enough to hear properly.

Ringing in the ears may indicate that the volume level is too high. Try
lowering the volume.

If you connect these earphones to an airplane’s sound system, listen
at low levels so that loud messages from the pilot do not cause
discomfort.

Have your ears checked by an audiologist on a regular basis. If you
experience wax buildup, discontinue use until an audiologist has
examined your ears.

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