Do not wash these eartips in water. ■ Replacing the eartips Remove the old eartip with a twisting motion as shown in the figure. Mount the new eartip over the stem to the base of the stem. When mounting the COMPLY™ foam eartips, use the flat parts of your fingers and do not use your nails so as to avoid damaging the surface of the eartips. ■ To order COMPLY™ foam eartips (except for Japan) Visit www.complyfoam.com and select the COMPLY™ Ts-500 foam eartips.

Before using the product, read through the user manual to ensure that you will use the product correctly. Please keep this manual for future reference. Caution

• Follow applicable laws regarding mobile phone and headphone use if using the product while driving.

• Do not use the product in places where the inability to hear ambient sound presents a serious risk (such as at railroad crossings, train stations, construction sites).

• The product effectively shields external sound, so you may not hear sound around you clearly while wearing the product. Adjust the volume to a level where you can still hear background sound and monitor the area around you while listening to music.

• Store the eartips out of the reach of small children.

• If you begin to feel unwell while using the product, discontinue use immediately.

• To prevent damage to your hearing, do not raise the volume too high. Listening to loud sound for an extended period may cause temporary or permanent hearing loss.

• Discontinue use if skin irritation results from direct contact with the product.

• Do not disassemble, modify or attempt to repair the product.

• When removing the product from your ears, check to make sure the eartips are still attached to the main unit. If the eartips become lodged in your ears and you are unable to remove them, consult a physician at once. Notes on use

• Minimize the volume on your audio device before connecting the product in order to avoid hearing damage from sudden exposure to excessive volume.

• When using the product in a dry environment, you may feel a tingling sensation in your ears. This is caused by static electricity accumulated on your body, not by product malfunction.

• Do not store the product under direct sunlight, near heating devices or in a hot, humid or dusty place. Do not allow the product to get wet.

• When the product is used for a long time, the product may become discolored due to ultraviolet light (especially direct sunlight) or wear.

• The cable may become caught or severed if the product is placed in a bag without adequate protection.

• When you are not using the product, store it in the included case.

• Do not wind the cable around your portable audio device. This may damage or sever the cable.

Cleaning the eartips

How to replace the detachable cable Specifications2 Name of each part Confirm each part before using the product. Using the headphones

1. Identify the left (L) and right (R) connectors on the

included detachable cable and plug each into the appropriate connector jack until it clicks.

• Refer to “About the detachable cable” for detailed information.

2. Lower the volume on the device you intend to use, then

connect the input plug to the device’s headphone jack.

3. Make sure to place each eartip (L/R) in the correct ear.

4. Turn on your audio device, and adjust volume as necessary.

• Also read the user manual of your audio device. Care Get into the habit of regularly cleaning the product to ensure that it will last for a long time. Do not use alcohol, paint thinners or other solvents for cleaning purposes.

• Use a dry cloth to clean the headphones.

• Natural oils from the skin are particularly likely to build up on the eartip attachment parts (see figure at right). If these areas are not cleaned, the eartips can become detached. Clean them regularly. Do not touch the areas where sound is produced as they are delicate. Doing so may result in malfunction.

• Use a dry cloth to clean the cable of any sweat or dirt. Failure to clean the cable may cause it to deteriorate and harden over time, resulting in malfunction.

• Wipe the cable’s plugs with a dry cloth if dirty. Using the plugs without cleaning them can cause sound interruption or distortion.

• For long-time storage, keep the product in a well-ventilated place without high temperatures and humidity.

• Refer to ''Cleaning the eartips'' in ''About the eartips'' to learn how to clean the eartips.

Eartip attachment part Sound reproduction part3 About the eartips ■ Size and position The product comes with silicone eartips in four sizes (XS, S, M and L). At the time of purchase, the M size silicone eartips are attached and positioned in standard position. To ensure the best sound quality and position, select the eartip size that is best suited for you, and adjust the eartips inside your ears for a snug fit. It may be difficult to hear bass sounds if the eartips do not fit snugly in your ears.

• Refer to "About COMPLY™ foam eartips" for use of COMPLY™ foam eartips. ■ 2 POSITION POST 2 position post maximizes sound isolation while providing a better fit. ■ Cleaning the eartips Remove eartips from the product and clean them with a diluted detergent. After cleaning, dry before use. ■ Replacing the eartip Remove the old eartip and attach the new eartip by pushing it onto the headphone at an angle (see figure). Push firmly on the eartip so that the inside of the eartip expands, and push the eartip onto the post as far as it will go.

• The eartips are designed to fit tightly to the product so that they will not come loose unintentionally.

• Periodically remove and clean the eartips as they become dirty easily. Using dirty eartips may cause the headphones themselves to become dirty, resulting in deteriorated sound quality.

• Eartips are consumable parts that degrade through storage and use. If the eartips are loose and easily removed or if they appear to have degraded, purchase replacements.

• When reattaching eartips that were previously removed, be sure to check that they are securely attached. Injury or illness may occur if the eartips become detached and are left inside the ear. Eartip cross- section view No gap
