care provider.
Manual Volume Controls
The wheel shaped controls are rotated to select
the most desirable listening position (louder
or softer). Be sure volume controls are set at
minimum before placing instruments in your
ears.
To turn the instrument on and
increase volume, place the
forefinger gently against the
wheel and turn, rotating the
wheel in a forward direction
(towards your nose). When the
wheel stops, the instrument is at
full volume (see figure 6).
To reduce volume, rotate the wheel backward
(toward the back of your head or away from
your nose). When the wheel will not turn any
further, the instrument is off.
Do not force the volume control past the stops
in either direction.
