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.
i
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.
i
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.
L
R
L
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
TM
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
TM
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 Auo 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 Auo 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.
I
The cleaning tool is for the tube of the ear tips (silicone or
foam) and serves to remove earwax build-up.
I
Never use the cleaning tool for the earphone sound tube!
R
I
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.
I
Comply
TM
foam tips cannot be cleaned. They should be replaced
when they become soiled.
I

properly because they lose their elasticity. Please replace them
with new Comply
TM
foam tips.
