To avoid hearing damage, make sure that the volume on your music player is turned down before connecting your headphones. After placing headphones in your ears, gradually turn up the volume until you reach a comfortable listening level. Noise levels are measured in decibels (dB), exposure to any noise at or above 85 dB can cause gradual hearing loss. Monitor your use; hearing loss is a function of loudness versus time. The louder it is, the less time you can be exposed to it. The softer it is, the more time you can listen to it.

This decibel (dB) table compares some common sounds and shows how they rank in potential harm to hearing.

SOUND NOISE LEVEL	(dB)	EFFECT
Whisper 30 Very quiet
Quiet Office 50-60 Comfortable hearing levels are under 60dB
Vacuum Cleaner, Hair Dryer	70 Intrusive; interferes with telephone conversations
Food Blender 85-90 85 dB is the level at which hearing damage (8 hrs.) begins
Garbage Truck, Cement Mixer	100 No more than 15 minutes of unprotected exposure recommended for sounds between 90-100 dB
Power Saw, Drill/Jackhammer	110 Regular exposure to sound over 100 dB of more than 1 minute risks permanent hearing loss

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.

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.

Eartips and Maintenance

The tips on your Powerbeats make the difference between good sound and great sound. With the right fit, 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 fit with the correct tip is a matter of experimentation. Try out all the eartips included with your Powerbeats headphones to find the best fit 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 traffic. However, eartip fit is still important for sound performance. The eartip you use shouldn't feel like they're "over-stuffing" your ears, yet they shouldn't feel like they're loose within your ear canal.

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 ear canal.

4. Carefully insert your right headphone, rubber eartip first, 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.

6. When you've finished your listening session, remove your in-ear headphones slowly with a twisting motion to gradually break the seal.

Eartip Cleaning

Keeping your Powerbeats eartips clean is essential for safe, hygienic use. IMPORTANT: DO NOT attempt to clean the eartips without first removing them from the headphones. Getting the delicate circuitry inside your Powerbeats headphones wet may cause permanent damage.

1. Firmly grip the eartip with one hand and the earphone with the other. Carefully remove the eartip from the ear tube.
2. Use warm water and mild soap on a damp cloth to remove dirt and earwax from the eartip. Do NOT use harsh cleaning agents.
3. Rinse and completely dry your eartips before placing them back on your headphones.
4. Carefully push the eartips back onto the Powerbeats headphones, making sure they are on the ear tube completely.
