WARNINGS:
TETRA AmpPods ARE NOT ENGINEERED TO BE A HEARING PROTECTION PRODUCT.
TETRA AmpPods are premium hearing enhancement devices with patent-pending
Specialized Target Optimization (STO). To help reduce the impact of loud noise,
these devices are designed with AlphaShield Compression
TM
technology to shut off
instantly with a gunshot or other loud sound. However, because these devices do
not create a total and tight seal in the ear, they are NOT designed to be protection for
repetitive shooting. For such needs, we recommend the TETRA AlphaShield Series.
Improper fit of this device will reduce its effectiveness. Consult the enclosed
instructions for proper fit.
Individuals exposed to loud occupational or recreational noise, should have annual
hearing checks to monitor their hearing over time.
These devices must be worn and maintained in accordance with instructions. Cleaning
regularly and paying close attention to maintenance ensures best performance. If tips
are worn or torn, or do not feel as tight or comfortable as previously, replace the tips
immediately. Replacement tips are available at tetrahearing.com.
1. Battery Instructions
Each device uses a 10A battery.
TETRA recommends using brand-name batteries as others may vary in size. While
TETRA devices are not hearing aids, they do use the same type of battery commonly
used in hearing aids. Such batteries are designed to have a long shelf life, but they
can go “stale” if on the shelf for a long time. Be sure to check the expiration date.
Pulling off the plastic tab activates the battery. Do not pull the tab off until you need to
use the battery. Check to make sure no adhesive from the plastic sticker is remaining
on the battery blocking the activation holes.
2. Battery Life
With daily use, the battery should last 7-10 days. With intermittent use, batteries may last
for up to a month once activated. Even if not used, once the battery is activated, it has a
limited life. We recommend new batteries if the device has not been used in several weeks.
Low Battery Indicator: Haven’t used your TETRA devices in a few weeks and aren’t sure
how old your batteries are? Don’t worry, we’ve got your back. All TETRA devices include
a low battery indicator. A warning of three double beeps every eight minutes indicates
that the battery needs to be replaced. If you do not change the battery, you will hear
another warning of six double beeps, at which time your TETRA device will turn off.
TETRA Tip: Once you remove the tab, let the battery sit for a couple minutes
before inserting it into the device. This can help your battery last longer.
