About Etymotic

Etymotic is a well-known audio technology business that specializes in high-quality earphones and hearing devices. Since its founding in 1983 by Dr. Mead Killion as a pioneer in audio technology, the firm has built a reputation for its dedication to accurate sound reproduction and hearing protection. Etymotic has earned the trust of audiophiles and professionals alike by focusing on research and innovation.

Their devices are intended to provide great sound quality while protecting consumers’ hearing health. These items have found applications in a variety of industries, including aviation, music, construction, and others, guaranteeing that people’s hearing is protected without affecting their ability to hear accurately.

Instructions

Consult an audiologist or physician if you have excessive ear wax, difficulty inserting the ear tips, or discomfort after prolonged use. In rare instances, an ear tip may come off in the ear canal when removing the earphone. If this should occur and the ear tip cannot be easily removed, it is recommended that you promptly contact an audiologist or other medical professional. A professional can use blunt tweezers to remove the ear tip.

Etymotic earphones exclude most external sounds. Use caution if using in-ear earphones while operating a motorized vehicle, operating machinery, bicycling, or jogging, because you may not be alerted to potential danger.

Do not listen at excessively loud levels. Research confirms that earphones that seal the ear canal allow listeners to listen at safer levels. Noise-induced hearing loss is a function of exposure time, the average sound level, and the peak output of very loud sounds. A sealed ear tip and lower listening levels allow for longer periods of safe listening.

IDENTIFICATION

SELECTING AN EAR TIP

When changing ear tips make sure the ear tip fits securely on the stem of the earphone.

NOTE: Hold the earphone body–not the cable connector–when removing the ear tips to avoid accidentally detaching the cable.

PROPER INSERTION

Important: Sound quality, full bass response, and noise isolation all depend on a good ear tip seal in the ear canal. See a video demonstration of how to get a proper fit at www.etymotic.com.

• While pulling up and out on the back of the ear, carefully insert the earphone.
• Twist the earphone into the ear canal while inserting, until outside noise is blocked out.
• 3-flange ear tips: Moistening ear tip eases insertion.
• Foam ear tips: Roll down or compress foam ear tips before inserting. Hold the ear tip in place for about 5 seconds while the foam expands to create a tight seal in the ear canal.

REMOVAL

Remove the earphones slowly with a twisting motion to gradually break the seal. Do not pull on the cable to remove the earphones.

SHIRT CLIP

Attaching the Clip Shirt clip attaches to the cable splitter.

Note: Securing the cable splitter to clothing helps reduce cable noise.

CORD SLIDER

Using the Slider is used to snug the cable under the chin to help secure the earphones.

DETACHABLE CABLES

1. Hold the body of the earphone securely with one hand.
2. Pull the cable connector away from the earphone body. Do not twist. Pull straight out to prevent damage to the key tab.

Note: Do not pull or twist from the cable connector. It’s important to pull straight out.

Attaching Cables

1. Align the key tab with the notch in the body of the earphone and cable connector.
2. Press together until you feel it snap-in.

Note: If the key tab is not aligned with the notch, the snap will not engage.

CHANGING FILTERS

Etymotic earphones have special filters that smooth the frequency response and prevent earwax from entering the earphones. A filter is located at the end of the earphone and is visible when the ear tip is removed. If a filter becomes clogged, it should be replaced. A dirty filter will reduce earphone output. The filter should be changed if the loudness decreases or the sound quality declines.

Note: Filters are not reusable.

Filter Removal Use the tool to remove the filter.

1. Remove the ear tip.
2. Insert the filter tool into the filter.
3. Remove the filter.

Filter Replacement Do not use the tool to replace the filter.

1. Insert a new filter.
2. Press gently against a hard surface to secure it in place.
3. Re-attach ear tip

CLEANING AND REPLACING EAR TIPS

Over time ear tips may lose their elasticity. For best performance and retention, replace 3-flange ear tips every 60-90 days. Replace foam ear tips when they become soiled.

To clean 3-flange ear tips:

1. Remove the ear tip from the earphone.
2. Clean with water and mild soap.
3. Dry the ear tip before placing it back on the earphone.

Foam ear tips are disposable and should not be cleaned.

IMPORTANT

• Do not expose the earphones to extreme temperatures.
• Avoid dropping and strong impact.
• Leave ear tips 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 ear tips prior to use by others.
• For best performance and retention in the ear, replace 3-flange ear tips every 60-90 days.
• Replace foam ear tips frequently.
