3. Important information

PREVENTION OF HEARING LOSS

CAUTION: Permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones are

used at high volumes for prolonged periods of time.

NOTE: For France, these earphones have been tested to comply

with the Sound Pressure Level requirement stipulated in

French article L. 5232-1.

In order to protect your hearing, we recommend

the following:



Always listen to the lowest possible volume for limited periods

of time.



You should immediately stop listening if you experience ringing

in your ears or other pain or discomfort.



Ideally, do not exceed 50% of the maximum volume of an MP3

player and do not listen for more than 1 hour a day.



In order to avoid dangerous sound bursts, always turn the

volume of the sound source down before connecting your

Audéo PFE to it.

Warnings



Do not use this product in other ways than described in this

manual.



Since the earphones block out ambient noise, never use them

while operating machinery or driving any kind of vehicle,

walking, biking, jogging or during any other activity where

failure to hear outside sounds or alerts can be dangerous.



Keep this product and its accessories out of the reach of

children. Handling or use by children may pose a threat of

death or serious injury. This product contains small parts and a

cord that may pose a risk of choking or strangulation.



If an ear tip or an audio filter becomes lodged in your ear, seek

medical assistance to remove the ear tip or audio filter. If

removal is performed without proper medical assistance, the

ear may be damaged.



Before inserting the earphones, make sure that the ear tips are

attached firmly to the sound tube.



If the earphones cause discomfort or irritation, stop using

them. Consult a physician or audiologist if needed.



Handle the earphones with care.



Do not expose the earphones to extreme temperatures or to

strong magnetic fields. Do not immerse them in liquid. Avoid

sharp blows to the earphones.



Keep these instructions and recommendations so you can

review them in the future.

a. Wearing the earphones

Audéo PFE deliver amazing sound if correctly inserted in the ears

and if an absolute seal is achieved. To experience their best

performance, proceed as follows:

4. How to use

Only use Audéo PFE with original parts. Never use accessories

from other manufacturers. They may not be compatible with

Audéo PFE and can modify the frequency response of your

earphones, damage them or even cause injury!

1. Turn the volume of the sound

source to a minimum before

connecting the earphones.

2. Identify the left and right

earphones.

3. Attach the silicone ear guides to the

cables and pull through to the

earphones. The ear guides route the

wires comfortably around the ears

and ensure a perfect fit and reduced

cable noise. The snug fit is especially

great during exercise because the

earphones stay firmly in place. Use

of the ear guides is optional.

4. If you are using Comply

foam tips,

compress them with your fingers.

5. Hold each earphone by the "leg", with

the cable pointing up, and the ear tips

towards your head.

6. Place the cable behind the ear and

insert the ear tips into your ear canal

with a gentle push. Do not force the

earphones into the ears! If the ear tips

are too big, try a smaller size.

7. The cables hang behind the ears and

then "down the back" or " on the

chest". With the ear guides attached,

the cable is routed perfectly around

your ear.

If you feel that the ear tips are too loose (insufficient seal) or too

tight (discomfort), try using another size.

To remove the earphones from the ears, hold them by the "leg"

and pull them out gently with a small rotation in order to break

the seal.

Do not pull on the cable to remove the earphones from your ear.

b. Ear tips

The silicone ear tips are washable and better for use during

exercise. The Comply

foam ear tips are better at filtering out

ambient noise, making them the best choice for travel or

use in noisy surroundings.

To change the ear tips (foam or silicone), grab the ear tip in the

middle and pull it slowly until it comes loose. Do not use

your fingernails or any other sharp object to remove the ear tips,

as otherwise they could be damaged.

8. The ear tips should seal the ear canal

and fit without any discomfort.

Rotate the earphones so that the

"leg" points diagnally towards the

top of the ear.

c. Audio filters

The audio filters have an essential acoustic function for the frequency

response of the Audéo PFE. The purpose of this filter is to deliver sound

that matches what one perceives when listening with non-occluded ears.

Different kinds of audio filters are available for Audéo PFE: The grey filter

is for enhanced perception of the mid-frequencies, the black audio filter

for enhanced bass and treble and green filters for Perfect Bass. The green

audio filter for Perfect Bass is mounted on the Audéo PFE by default.

Because each individual's perception of sound is unique, Audéo PFE

allows you to choose the filter that suits your personal preferences.

Another function of the audio filter is to prevent dirt from entering the

sound tube.



Make sure that the audio filters are in place before using the

Audéo PFE. Audéo PFE only function correctly if the audio filters are

inserted in the output tube.



Replace the audio filters when they become dirty or clogged and the

sound of the Audéo PFE is affected.



Always use audio filters having the same color for both the right and

left earphone.

To replace the audio filters

proceed as follows:

1. To change the ear tips (foam

or silicone), grab the ear tip in

the middle and pull it slowly

until it comes loose.

2. Gently push and twist the

"threaded end" of the

changing tool into the used

audio filter.

3. Do not overtwist the tool;

stop when you feel a slight

resistance (about 1 rotation)

or you could damage the

audio filter. Pull the used

audio filter out.

4. So you can reuse the audio

filter, insert it in an empty slot

in the audio filter box; turn

and remove the changing tool.

Dispose of any soiled or

damaged audio filters.

5. Proceed with placing a new

audio filter in the earphones.

Make sure that the audio filter

is sitting in the dispenser with

the open side facing upwards.

6. Press the "flat end" of the

changing tool into the filter

ring and pull out vertically.

7. Push the new audio filter into

the sound tube of your

earphones. Tip the changing

tool sideways to release it.

d. Maintenance

To extend the lifetime of your earphones, keep them clean and

follow the recommendations below.

The cleaning tool is for the tube of the ear tips (silicone or

foam) and serves to remove earwax build-up.

Never use the cleaning tool for the earphone sound tube!

The silicone ear tips should be cleaned regularly with water

and mild soap, or with an antiseptic wipe. Always make sure

that the ear tips are dry before reusing.

Comply

foam tips cannot be cleaned. They should be replaced

when they become soiled.

After extended us, the Comply

foam tips may no longer seal

properly because they lose their elasticity. Please replace them

with new Comply

foam tips.

The earphones can be cleaned with an antiseptic wipe.
