Safety Information
Please read this manual carefully. If you have any questions please contact H2O Audio
Customer Service prior to use.
Improper use of this system may cause the user to make mistakes or decisions that may lead
to serious injury or death.
Always make sure to have the audio player volume turned to zero and the headphones
turned away from the ears when turning on the audio player. If the volume level is not
zero when the audio player is turned on, it may cause ear injury due to a sudden burst of
volume. The volume should be slowly increased with an audio track playing to set the
speaker volume to comfortable output levels prior to positioning the headphones next to
the ears. Hearing experts advise against continuously loud and extended play. If you
experience ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.
It can be potentially dangerous to use headphones while engaging in activities that require
your full attention. You should exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in potentially
hazardous situations. Do not use headphones while driving, cycling, or operating any
motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas. Those users
that elect to utilize this system at, or near, the water’s surface, must maintain safety
awareness of moving water crafts.
WARNING: Contains small parts which may be a choking hazard. Not suitable for children
under 3 years old.
Maintaining Your Interval
Your H2O Audio Interval Waterproof Headphone System is completely waterproof. After
in-water use, you can rinse off your Interval with clean water and let it air dry for your next
use.
FAQs
1. What happens if my headphones fall out of my ears while in the water?
The Interval Waterproof Headphone System is 100% waterproof and can be exposed or
submerged in water for an unlimited amount of time. If the headphones come out of your
ears and fall into the water, simply shake or blow off any water that remains in the earplug
to ensure the best sound experience.

Achieving the Best Fit
To get the best performance out of your Interval Waterproof Headphone System it helps to
take the time to ensure a proper fit. We encourage you to experiment with different
earplug sizes and the angle of insertion until you find the combination that sounds and fits
best.
Here are a few tips we’ve discovered through feedback from our customers:
Push the earplugs into your ear canals far enough to establish a secure fit but not so far
they become uncomfortable.
A tighter seal may be achieved by pulling your upper ear back while inserting the
earplugs.
You may find it preferable to use different size earplugs for each ear.
For optimal in water performance, the earplugs should completely seal your ear canals:
Insert earplugs before your ears get wet to achieve the best watertight seal.
Larger size earplugs may be preferable during active and/or in water use as they may
offer more contact with the ear and a tighter seal.
Wrapping the headphone cables around your swim goggle straps before placing them in
your ears can help secure a better fit.
The headphones may stay in place more easily if they are tucked underneath a swim cap.

Checking the Waterproof Seal
The Interval Waterproof Headphone System features a removable waterproof seal that
forms a waterproof barrier between the base and lid of the case. It is extremely important
that special attention is paid to ensure the seal is completely seated in the groove of the
lid. If the seal is loose, out of alignment, twisted or pinched in any way, it will compromise
the waterproof integrity of the case and should not be used. Any debris such as hair or
sand will keep it from forming a watertight barrier and should be cleaned off before use.
Caution: If the seal comes out of alignment,
carefully place it in the groove, ensuring all 4
corners are correctly installed. Compress the lid
into the base and then re-open it to make sure
the seal is fitted correctly into the groove. The
seal should appear straight and uniform along
the edge and should not fall out easily.
