Our headphones will allow you to hear more details at lower volume levels than ever before. Use Responsibly Do not use headphones when it’s unsafe to do so—while operating a vehicle, crossing streets, or during any activity or in an environment where your full attention to your surroundings is required. It’s dangerous to drive while wearing headphones, and in many places, illegal because it decreases your chances of hearing life-saving sounds outside of your vehicle, such as another car’s horn and emergency vehicle sirens. Please avoid wearing your headphones while driving. Use an FM transmitter to listen to your mobile media devices instead. Learn how to establish a safe listening level and review other important safety guidelines from the Consumer Electronics Association at www.ce.org and the Deafness Research Foundation at www.drf.org.5 Putting on Powerbeats

1. Each headphone is marked with either an R, for right, or an L, for left.

2. Hook the rubber sport hook over the back of your ear and insert the silicon

eartip into your ear.

3. Push on the “b” and make any other necessary adjustments to get the

silicone eartip further into your ear until you get a good seal.

4. Repeat with the other ear.

English6 Eartips and Maintenance Eartip Selection The tips on your Powerbeats make the difference between good sound and great sound. With the right t, you’ll get increased bass response, better tonal balance and the headphones will be more comfortable. Because everyone’s ears are unique, Beats supplies several sizes of eartips. Getting the perfect t with the correct tip is a matter of experimentation. Try out all the eartips included with your Powerbeats headphones to nd the best t for the size of your ear canal. Eartip Fit Unlike many in-ear headphones, Powerbeats are not designed to completely seal out external noise. With Powerbeats, you will be able to hear the outside world while running and biking in or alongside trafc. However, eartip t is still important for sound performance. The eartip you use shouldn’t feel like they’re “over-stufng” your ears, yet they shouldn’t feel like they’re loose within your ear canal. English7 English Proper Insertion and Removal of Eartips

1. You may wish to lightly moisten your eartips for easier insertion.

2. Using your right hand, grasp the right headphone.

3. With your left hand, pull up and back on your right ear to straighten your

4. Carefully insert your right headphone,

rubber eartip rst, so that it seals completely and comfortably in your ear. DO NOT insert the eartip so deeply that your ear canal feels completely “plugged.”

5. Repeat this procedure for your left ear.

session, remove your in-ear headphones slowly with a twisting motion to gradually break the seal.8 English Eartip Cleaning Keeping your Powerbeats eartips clean is essential for safe, hygienic use.
