Setup

1. Select Ear Tips: Choose the ear tips that provide the best seal and comfort for your ears. An assortment of dual flange silicone, triple flange, and foam tips are included. A proper seal is crucial for optimal sound quality and noise isolation.
2. Attach Cable: Connect the detachable 4 ft. cable to the earpieces. Ensure the MMCX connectors are securely fastened. The cable is user-replaceable.
3. Connect to Device: Plug the 3.5mm gold plated stereo plug into your audio source. For devices without a 3.5mm jack, a compatible adapter (not included) may be required.

Operating Instructions

1. Proper Insertion: Gently insert the earphones into your ear canals until a secure and comfortable seal is achieved. The deep insertion design is key to achieving the specified noise isolation and accurate sound.
2. Volume Control: Adjust the volume on your connected audio device. Start with a low volume and gradually increase it to a comfortable listening level.
3. Noise Isolation: The earphones provide significant passive noise isolation (35-42 dB). Be aware of your surroundings, especially in environments where situational awareness is critical.
4. Cable Management: Use the included shirt clip to secure the cable and minimize microphonics (noise from cable movement).

Maintenance

• Cleaning Ear Tips: Regularly clean ear tips with mild soap and water. Ensure they are completely dry before reattaching.
• Filter Replacement: Use the provided filter removal tool to replace the internal filters when they become clogged with earwax or debris. This protects the drivers and maintains sound quality.
• Cable Care: Handle the detachable cable with care. Avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling. If the cable becomes damaged, it can be replaced.
