Earphone Care
and Maintenance
< Keep earphones clean by using a moistened
antiseptic wipe after each use.
< Avoid exposing your earphones to water,
extreme temperatures, high humidity or
prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light.
< Use the cleaning tool regularly to keep the
ear conductor clear and unobstructed.
< Clean and change the ear tips regularly.
< Avoid physical abuse of earphones.
Dropping or striking them may damage the
components.
< Do not pull on the cables to remove the
earphones from your ear.
< Do not pull the cables to remove the input
plug from a listening device.
Using the Cleaning Tool
< Remove ear tip and wipe the exterior of the
ear conductor with an antiseptic wipe.
< Using the cleaning tool, angle into the ear
conductor and use a gentle upward and
outward sweeping motion to remove any
build-up.
< Clean the ear conductor again with an
antiseptic wipe and attach a new and clean
ear tip.
Suggestions for
Using Ear Tips
< If the ear tips on the earphones don’t seal
well or are uncomfortable, try some alternate
ear tips until the best fit for your ear is
achieved.
< If you have difficulty inserting the ear tip into
your ear canal, identify the left earphone
(marked with an “L”) and the right earphone
(marked with an “R”). Inserting them one
at a time, gently grasp the top ridge of your
ear and extend the ear upward and outward
to open up the ear canal while you rock the
earphone forward and then roll it back into
your ear canal.
< Flanged silicone ear tips: For best results,
moisten the external surface of the flanged
silicone ear tip before you insert it into the
ear canal. This will allow the ear tip to slide
more easily into place and create a good
seal.
< Disposable foam ear tips: Compress the
foam at the end of the earphone by pressing
it between your thumb and forefinger before
inserting it into the ear canal. Hold the
earphone in place for five seconds while the
foam expands to create a tight seal in the
ear canal.
