Care
• Do not expose the earphones to extreme temperatures.
• Avoid dropping and strong impact.
• Leave eartips on the earphones for shock protection.
• Do not pull on the cord to remove the earphone from the
audio device or the ear.
• Clean or replace eartips prior to use by others.
Over time eartips may lose their elasticity. For best performance
and retention, replace 3-flange eartips every 3-6 months.
Replace foam and glider eartips regularly.
To clean the 3-flange eartips:
1. Remove the eartip from the earphone.
2. Clean with water and mild soap.
3. Dry the eartip before placing it back on the earphone.
