RENGÖRING

JAYS head office Söcomholm, Stockholm, Sweden

JAYS

Our mission started out in Sweden in a small scale with a global scope of not letting go when it comes to stronger musical experiences in the canvas of all people's everyday life. People are pretty much the same over the world and we all strive towards better in all things that we do and that we are. Our way of making better is to do exactly what we do, greatly enhancing the experience of mobile music.

We know that our fans and users are what make a JAYS Generation, one that always looks for greatness and expects us to provide it. Simply because we can, we keep it simple and develop advanced high quality products in black or white in innovative designs.

We believe that the color should be deep in the music and not in the surface. Since we develop our own designs, we don't have to hide them. Simplicity and quality is always in fashion and we have a great love for music, art and innovation. Technology is just our means for making it human.

ABOUT a-JAYS FIVE

We wanted to change the standard of everyday in-ear earphones. We wanted to create better alternatives for consumers and invent a new set of earphones that would perform better, be more comfortable to use and would last longer. With that in mind, we started the work on a-JAYS Five.

The earphones you have in front of you are the result of 12 months' hard development work. The a-JAYS Five is made from precision turned aluminum, covered in a flexible thermoplastic elastomer body in one part for a great and long lasting product experience. The well balanced, angled, ergonomic body contains a finely tuned custom driver which delivers a rich and detailed dynamic sound with a precise and powerful bass for any type of music. All made for your best possible experience.

Thank you for choosing a-JAYS Five.

UNDERSTANDING THE PRODUCT SPECIFICATION

Sound pressure, Declbel and Hz

Sound is an invisible vibration composed of frequencies which travel in undulations known as sound waves. The amplitude of vibration produced by an object such as a speaker driver is proportional to the change of pressure generated as the wave moves through the medium which surrounds it (such as air). Therefore, the amplitude of a sound wave is commonly measured by its pressure level.

The decibel is a non-dimensional, logarithmic scale to denote a relative change in the strength of a signal or wave. When placed in the context of sound pressure level; it measures the nominal threshold of human hearing, relative to the quietest sound audible to the human ear.

The frequency of instances where a sound wave reaches it peak during a period of time is measured in Hz (hertz). This is the number of complete cycles per second. Human hearing is limited to frequencies between about 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz.

Sensitivity and impedance

Earphone sensitivity is measured in Sound Pressure Level (SPL). This is essentially a measurement of how loud or easily-driven a pair of earphones are.

The sensitivity is also influenced by the drivers' coil impedance which varies over the frequency range. The higher the SPL and the lower the impedance the more easily driven your earphones will be.

PRECAUTIONS

• Do not use the product in other ways than are described in this manual.
• Handle with care at all times and protect from external damage.
• Do not expose to heat, magnetism or cold, damp environments.
  • To clean: use a mild, antiseptic detergent.
• Do not expose the cables and plugs to abnormal wear and tear, e.g. by bending or pulling them.
• Avoid winding the cable too tightly.
• Avoid dropping or strong impact.
  • Always leave the sleeve on for shock protection.

PROPER USE

The a-JAYS Five earphone model is suitable for many different areas of use. It is particularly suited to environments where you are likely to be disturbed by ambient noise, e.g. at airplanes, on trains, on the subway, at the gym or when you are studying. In short, whenever you want. Let nothing come between you and the full enjoyment of your music.

Inserting and removing the earphones

• Turn the volume to minimum before insertion.
• For best results, moisten the sleeves before insertion.
• Holding the earphone at the rear, carefully insert the sleeve while pulling up and out on the back of the ear.
• The earphone should seal deeply and comfortably in the ear canal.
• If the bass frequency response seems too feeble or if external noise has not been eliminated, try inserting the earphone deeper into the ear canal to obtain a better seal or try a different sleeve size.
• After use, remove carefully - avoid pulling the cable.

CABLE CLIP

Keep your cables in place and reduce cable noise by using JAYS cable clip. Do not pull the cable cord to adjust the length when the cable is in its locked position inside the clip.

ABOUT THE REMOTE

a-JAYS Five for iOS houses the latest top of the line 360 degree high-performance, low power, top port silicon microphone for perfect speech quality. Using a high performance MEMS technology, the microphone consists of an acoustic sensor, a low noise input buffer, and an output amplifier. The built-in echo cancellation makes the audio perfect in nearly all situations. The remote buttons are made in JAYS concave/convex SMART-feel design and come in soft rubber material for better grip and ergonomics.

STORING YOUR a-JAYS FIVE EARPHONES

Always store your a-JAYS Five earphones in a dust and damp-free environment. Using the JAYS carrying case always ensures you keep your earphones well protected and safe.

CLEANING

Clean your earphones regularly using an antiseptic cloth or wipe. Keep sleeves free of wax and other build-up. Wax and dirt can adversely affect sound quality and can damage your earphones. Furthermore, ensure that no moisture penetrates the nozzle when cleaning as this may damage the delicate dynamic speakers inside the earphones.

Sleeves size overview XXS - L. (Medium size come mounted.)

Changing the sleeves

The sleeves can be removed by carefully sliding them off the earphones. When replacing, check that the sleeves' rubber notches are securely fastened in the locking groove.

Cleaning the mesh filter of the sound tube

If the mesh filter on the front of the sound tube shows signs of clogging, carefully use a tooth-brush to clean it.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

Hearing

These earphones are very powerful. Listening at high volumes for prolonged periods can cause permanent hearing damage. Always listen at a low to moderate volume and remember to rest your ears once in a while. If your ears start ringing or aching, remove the earphones immediately in order to rest your ears. Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) has developed below noise exposure graph.

Traffic

Your a-JAYS Five effectively isolate external noise. This means you won't hear what's going on around you, which can be very hazardous in traffic. Never use your a-JAYS Five while driving a car, moped, bicycle or similar, or while jogging or walking through trafficated areas. We would like to remind you that listening to music in trafficated environments can lead to accidents.
