Important safety information:
●
Never wear earphones while operating a motor vehicle. It may create a hazard and is illegal in many areas.
●
Use caution when wearing earphones while walking, jogging, cycling, etc.
●
Avoid using earphones at high volume levels. Shure earphones are designed to provide increased listening
enjoyment at lower levels.
Prolonged exposure to high sound pressure levels may impair hearing.
Warning: Always turn the volume down before plugging the earphones into a sound source.
Excessive
exposure to loud sounds can cause hearing damage.
Keeping it clean
To ensure continuing superior sound from your sound isolating earphones, we recommend that you follow these
simple tips:
●
Avoid getting moisture in the nozzle, as this can adversely affect sound quality.
●
Avoid striking or dropping the unit. Extreme shock can damage the earphones.
●
E1c, E3c, E4c, E5c, i2c, i3c and i4c: Whenever buildup is observed, clean the nozzles using the supplied wax
removal tool (see Figure 1).
●
E2c: When new, install the supplied wax guards on the earphone nozzles. Routinely check the wax guard on
the tips of the nozzles. If the wax guards appear to be clogged, replace them. (see Figure 2).
Figure 1: Wax Removal (E3c/E4c/E5c/E1c/i2c/i3c/i4c)
Wax buildup around each earphone nozzle should be removed using the Wax Removal Loop as shown.
Figure 2: Wax Guards (E2c and i2c)
To prevent wax buildup, E2c and i2c earphones come with Wax Guards. These protective rings are found on
adhesive strips in the Fit Kit. To install, peel off backing and apply one wax guard to the end of each nozzle.
Earphone nozzles should be clean and dry prior to application of wax guards.
●
Clean your sleeves regularly with a mild antiseptic or soapy water. Always remove the sleeve from the
earphone nozzle before cleaning.
●
Flex, Ultra-soft flex, and Triple-flange sleeves should be cleaned with an antiseptic routinely and when sharing.
●
Foam sleeves should be disposed of and replaced when they get dirty.
●
Wipe down the earphone housing and cable with an antiseptic routinely.
●
Stop using the earphones if they are causing you discomfort.
NOTE:
Nozzles can collect cerumen (earwax), which can clog the earphone and lower the sound quality. If you
experience sound loss, check the nozzles for clogging before sending the product in for service. There is a service
charge for removing wax.
CAUTION:
Shure earphones are not immersible. Make sure flanges are completely dry before reattaching to
earphone nozzles.
