Detachable Cable

You may need to detach the cable from the earphones to attach optional components or to replace the cable if it becomes damaged. To prevent accidental separation, the connector has a snug fit. Take special care to prevent damage to the earphone and connector.

• Do not use pliers or other tools.
- Grasp the connector and the earphone as close as possible to where they join.
- Pull straight apart—do not twist. Cable is a snap fit, not threaded.
- Do not pull on the cable or put any pressure on the earphone nozzle.

- Listen for a click when connecting.

- When reattaching the cable, match the "L" and "R" markings. For clear cables and earphones, match the color dots (Red = Right, Blue = Left).

Note: If you pull at an angle, the connector will not detach.

Wearing the Earphones

The following are some suggested ways of wearing the earphones.

Wearing the cable over the ear and securing it behind the head can help keep the earphones in place during physical activity
Tighten the cable and take up slack by raising the cable cinch.

Inserting the Earphones

Line drawing of a hand holding a small object, possibly a device or tool, with no visible text or symbols.

Insert the earphones so they form a tight seal. The fit of the earphone can greatly affect sound quality.

Important: If there seems to be a lack of low frequency response (bass), this means that the earphone sleeve is not forming a tight seal. Gently push the earphone deeper into the ear canal or try a different sleeve.

Warning: Do not push the earphone sleeve beyond the ear canal opening.

Changing Sleeves

Twist and pull to remove the sleeve from the nozzle.

Slide on a new sleeve so that it completely covers the barb and the nozzle.

Caution: If the barb or any of the nozzle is exposed, the sleeve is not properly installed. Replace sleeves if they do not tightly grip the nozzle.

To ensure proper fit and performance, use only sleeves supplied by Shure (unless using custom molded sleeves).

Removing the Earphones

Grasp the body of earphone and gently twist to remove. Note: Do not pull on cable to remove earphone.

Choosing a Sleeve

Select an earphone sleeve that provides the best fit and sound isolation. It should be easy to insert, fit comfortably, and easy to remove.

Soft Flex Sleeves: In small, medium, and large sizes. Made from pliable rubber.

Soft Foam Sleeves: Compress the foam sleeve between your fingers and insert into the ear canal. Hold in place for about ten seconds while the foam expands.

Triple-Flange Sleeves: If desired, use scissors to trim the stem on the sleeve.

Cleaning the Earphone Nozzle

If you notice a change in sound quality, remove the sleeve and check the nozzle of your earphone. If nozzle is blocked, clear obstruction by using wire loop end of cleaning tool.

Caution: When cleaning, do not force any object through the earphone nozzle! This will damage the earphone sound filter.

Warning: The cleaning tool is only to be used to clean the earphones. Any other use, such as using the tool to clean ears, could result in injury.

Maintenance
