Changing Tips
To change tips simply grasp the tip on the tube and gently peel it off the elbow
adapter. Then push on the replacement tip in the reverse manner.
Choosing the Right Tip
The
Archer’s Ear
comes with two different types of tips: 3 sizes of Silicon Ear Buds
and a Foam Plug.
Installing the Battery
OWNER’S MANUAL
Turning the Unit On
After inserting the battery, close the battery door completely to turn the unit on. Turn
the unit off by opening the battery door to the first stop.
Fitting Instructions
Operating the Volume Control
Increase the volume on the
Archer’s Ear
by pressing the top of the volume control
toggle. Decrease the volume by pressing the bottom of the volume control toggle.
Note:
The Archer’s Ear has a built-in “safety” circuit which limits the output of the instrument to a max. of 115 dB SPL.
Remove sticker from battery. To insert battery, open battery compartment by
pulling down on the rim of compartment door. The battery is held in place by a
small lip on the bottom of the compartment. Place the battery into the compart-
ment so that the (+) sign side of the battery is facing up; when battery is inserted
correctly, compartment door will close with ease. A #13 Mercury or Zinc Air battery
is recommended.
With the unit facing this direction, the “+” sign on the battery goes opposite the
lip on the batter compartment door. Also, inside the unit is a red dot identifying
the “+” side.
NOTE:
A weak battery may cause the unit to buzz or hum.
In the event a battery is swallowed call:

1.
Place Archer’s Ear over either ear.
2.
Insert ear plug into ear. Position sound tube in
upward direction so it extends past the ear
hook. Mark sound tube approximately 1/8”
above the tip of the ear hook. Cut off excess
tube at mark. Tubing too long will cause the
unit to fall off the ear. Tubing too short will
cause the ear plug to pull out of the ear.
3.
While holding ear hook between thumb and forefinger, push the
sound tube onto the ear hook; you may need to trim the tube and
repeat this process to achieve a comfortable fit.
Complications Which May Arise
If conditions such as irritation, inflammation, and pain arise, they are normally due to
pressure applied from the ear plug on a particularly sensitive area of your ear. You may
easily be able to correct this by trimming the ear plug at the point of irritation. For an
actual allergic reaction, or any other unusual conditions, consult your physician.
Storing the Archer’s Ear
When the
Archer’s Ear
will not be used for an extended
period of time, remove the battery and place the
Archer’s Ear
in its carrying case for
storage in a cool, dry location.
Batteries (Avg. Life 300 Hrs)
After extended use of your battery, the
Archer’s
Ear
sound volume will rapidly get weaker, and may become noisy and ineffective in
operation. This indicates that the battery should be replaced. Always remove the battery
if your
Archer’s Ear
is not going to be used for a period of days.
If Your Archer’s Ear Whistles
Whistling/squealing may sometimes occur as you cup
your hand over your ear and adjust the volume control. This action directs sound leaking
from the ear plug into the microphone, resulting in a whistle. This should disappear
when you take your hand away. If not, check to make sure the ear plug is inserted properly.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
• Discard batteries very carefully.
• Never allow children to play with batteries.
• Never change batteries in front of children.
• Never put batteries in your mouth for any
reason, as they are slippery and easy to
swallow by accident.
• Always check medication before swallow-
ing, as batteries have been mistaken for
tablets.
