• To power off, slide the switch to the "Off" position.

2. Volume Adjustment

• The device features a rotary volume control. Rotate the wheel upwards to increase volume and downwards to decrease volume.

3. Initial Use and Adaptation

It may take some time to adapt to your new sound enhancement device. Begin by using it in quiet environments and gradually introduce it to noisier settings. Your brain needs time to re-learn how to process sounds with amplification.

• Use the provided cleaning brush to remove any earwax or debris from the ear tip and sound port.
