Using the earphones
GB
■ When putting on the earphones 1, pay attention to the side
indicators “R” (right) and “L” (left) on the earpieces.
■ Carefully slide one of the earphones 1 deep into the ear canal.
In order to straighten the ear channel somewhat and therefore
make the earphone easier to insert, pull auricle backwards and
upwards a little.
■ Proceed in the same way to insert the other earphone 1.
Replacing the ear cushions
In the as-delivered condition, the earphones 1 are provided with
medium size ear cushions 2. Depending on the size of your auricle
you can use ear cushions (4 or 5) of a diff erent size from the ones
supplied.
NOTE
The better the ear cushion seals off the ear canal, the better
the sound quality, particularly at lower frequencies.
■ Use your fi ngers to carefully pull on the ear cushions 2 to detach
them from the earphones 1.
■ Select suitable ear cushions (4 or 5) from the ones that are
supplied. Push these directly onto the earphones 1 until they slip
into the recesses on the earphones 1.
Connecting the earphones
The earphones 1 are equipped with a 3.5 mm jackplug. Many
electronic entertainment devices are provided with an appropriate
headphone socket. If your audio device has been equipped with
a diff erent headphone connector, you may need to use a suitable
adapter (not supplied).
