DO NOT use your CENS® ProFlex earpieces without either the 

electronic or passive module being fitted.

Once the devices are switched on, you will be able to hear sound 

as normal; however, when a loud sound is detected the device 

will automatically reduce the volume to a safe and comfortable 

level. After the loud sound has passed the volume is automatically 

returned to normal.

(Please note: There may be a up to 5 second delay followed by an 

activation melody after the devices are switched on before the 

amplified sound is heard.)
