Wearing Instructions 

BeHear NOW is a neck loop style headset where the hard plastic part is meant to rest on the 
back of your neck (or under your collar) and the ear buds at the ends of the cables come up 
from your collar bone and are inserted into your ears. 

Wear your BeHear NOW headset as described below: 

1.

 

Place the BeHear NOW neckband behind your neck such 
that the power button is on the bottom and the control 
boxes are on your chest and the buttons of the control 
boxes face up.

 

 

 

2.

 

Insert  the  earbuds  and  position  the  ear  hooks  inside  your  ears.  Your 
BeHear  NOW  package  contains  several  sizes  and  types  of  silicone  ear 
hooks  and  buds,  and  you  may  have  to  experiment  to  find  the 
combination that fits your ears most comfortably for continuous wear.

 

 

3.

 

You can fold the cables into the clips, and then move the clips along the 
cable to reach desired cable length and position.  

 

4.

 

You  can  add  foam  covers  to  the  earpieces  to  improve  the  acoustic 
performance  of your  BeHear  NOW  headset when  using  it  outdoors  in 
windy conditions. The covers also reduce noise produced by the friction 
of your clothing against the earpieces.

 

 

 

5.

 

When  not  in  use,  secure  earpieces  to  each  other  with  the  built-in 
magnets. 

 

Fitting the Ear Buds and Hooks to Your Ears 

Your BeHear NOW headset comes with three shapes of silicone ear buds: conical, mushroom, 
and tulip (open fit) in up to four sizes, and three sets of ear hooks in varying sizes. The most 
common type and size of buds and hooks have already been attached to the headset. However, 
if the buds do not fit snugly and comfortably in your ears you should remove the silicone covers 
from the earpieces and try different options, as follows: 

1.

 

Peel off the silicone ear bud and ear hook from the earpiece.  

 

2.

 

Place  the  replacement  ear  hook over the  speaker  of  the  earpiece. 
Make  sure  the  ear  hooks  are  oriented  properly;  the  left  ear  hook 
must be placed on the left earpiece and the right ear hook on the 
right earpiece

. The ear hooks are labeled “L” for the left and “R” for 

the right, while the earpieces 

are marked “L” and “R” respectively on 

the metal bands which connect the pieces to the headset cables.  

 

3.

 

Place the replacement ear bud over the ear bud speaker.
