Introduction

The Etymotic etyBlu dual mode, noise-isolating headset contains two microphones. One microphone is located internally at the end of the earpiece; the other, BLUmaxx™, a highly directional, noise-rejecting microphone quickly connects to the earpiece. The combination of an in-ear noise-isolating earphone and a directional microphone placed close to the mouth provides exceptional sound quality and clear communication at both ends of the conversation. The etyBLU headset was developed by Etymotic Research for use in high levels of background noise. Another Etymotic first.

Dual Modes—Two Ways to Use

Side profile of a person wearing a small ear with a handheld device, viewed from the side (no text or symbols visible)

Internal Mic Mode

The earpiece is designed to be self-supporting in the ear canal, so the earloop is optional. Push the earloop through the earloop holder and adjust for a secure fit.

BLUmaxx Mic Mode

Exceptional clarity in noisy environments.

- Gives up to 25 dB more noise cancellation of the talkers voice compared to the internal mic.

Important: To ensure optimal performance it is important that the eartip seals the ear canal.

Pairing

Pairing varies by device

The etyBLU headset is discoverable for five minutes after Power On.

• Turn the phone OFF and then back ON.
• Turn on the mobile phone's Bluetooth function.
• Press and hold the Multi-Function Button (MFB) for 5 seconds.
• The blue LED will flash rapidly when ready for pairing. The etyBLU stays in pairing mode for 5 minutes.
• Activate the search for BT and/or audio devices on the phone
• When the etyBLU is found, the phone will display "etyBLU." Scroll to it and press OK to confirm pairing.
• If a passkey/password is requested, enter 0000.

Note: Bluetooth transmitter pairing varies. For best results, consult the user instructions for the specific device being paired with the etyBlu. Some mobile phones require a security setting change for automatic headset-phone pairing.

Charging

The etyBLU headset comes with a rechargeable lithium polymer battery. Charge the headset for at least one hour before first use.

Charging time from empty: 2-3 hours

80% charge: 1 hour

Charging with the USB connector (included)

• Remove the BLUmaxx Mic prior to charging
• Plug the connector into the etyBLU headset as shown.
• Plug USB end of the charging cable into a computer USB port as shown.
• The solid yellow LED will indicate that the headset is charging.
• When charging is complete the yellow LED turns OFF.

Insertion

Important: Sound quality and noise isolation depend on a good eartip seal.

• Carefully insert the earpiece while pulling up and out on the back of the ear.
• Twist the earpiece while inserting until outside noise is blocked out.

- Position the earpiece for best fit and comfort.

- Flanged eartip: Moistening eases insertion.

- Foam eartip: Roll down or compress foam eartip before inserting. Hold the eartip in place for about 5 seconds while the foam expands to create a tight seal in the ear canal.

Removal

To avoid discomfort, remove the headset slowly with a twisting motion to gradually break the seal. Open jaw slightly to equalize pressure, because suction can occur when the eartip is removed.

BLUmaxx Connect/Disconnect

NOTE: The BLUmaxx Mic can quickly connect or disconnect without disconnecting a call.

Earpiece Filter

The earpiece in the etyBLU headset has a special filter that smoothes the frequency response and prevents earwax from entering the earphone. The filter is located at the end of the earphone and is visible when the eartip is removed.

Change the filter if loudness decreases or the sound quality declines. Note: Filters are not reusable.

Caution

Consult an audiologist or physician if you have excessive ear wax, difficulty inserting the eartips, or discomfort after prolonged use. The etyBLU dual-mode headset excludes most external sounds. Always use extreme caution while using any headset when operating a motorized vehicle.

Do not use the headset 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 of very loud sounds. A sealed eartip and lower listening levels allow for longer periods of safe listening time.

FCC & Other Information

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and

2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. Some equipment operates at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs; to minimize or prevent such interference, the system base should not be placed near or on top of a TV, PC monitor, or VCR; and, if interference is experienced, moving the desk station farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the system off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

3. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio TV technician for help.
