Note: The Archer’s Ear has a built-in “safety” circuit which limits the output of the instrument to a max. of 115 dB SPL.
Complications Which May Arise
If conditions such as irritation, inammation, and pain arise, they are normally due to
pressure applied from the ear plug on a particularly sensitive area of your ear. You may
easily be able to correct this by trimming the ear plug at the point of irritation. For an
actual allergic reaction, or any other unusual conditions, consult your physician.
Storing the Archer’s Ear When the Archer’s Ear will not be used for an extended
period of time, remove the battery and place the Archer’s Ear in its carrying case for
storage in a cool, dry location.
Batteries (Avg. Life 300 Hrs) After extended use of your battery, the Archer’s
Ear sound volume will rapidly get weaker, and may become noisy and ineffective in
operation. This indicates that the battery should be replaced. Always remove the battery
if your Archer’s Ear is not going to be used for a period of days.
If Your Archer’s Ear Whistles Whistling/squealing may sometimes occur as you cup
your hand over your ear and adjust the volume control. This action directs sound leaking
from the ear plug into the microphone, resulting in a whistle. This should disappear
when you take your hand away. If not, check to make sure the ear plug is inserted properly.
