Wearing the headphones (see fig. A)
Adjust the length of the headband and the earpiece angle for a
comfortable fit.
Wear the headband on your head, and insert the earpiece marked R in
your right ear and the one marked L in your left ear.
If the angles of earpieces do not fit in with your ears
Adjust them by swiveling the housings. You can turn them to upwards
approx. 40 degrees or less.
How to install the earbuds correctly (see fig. B)
If the earbuds do not fit your ears correctly, low-bass sound may not be
heard. To enjoy better sound quality, change the earbuds to another size,
or adjust the earbuds position to sit on your ears comfortably and fit your
ears snugly. The M size earbuds are attached to the headphones before
shipment. If you feel the M size earbuds do not suit your ears, replace
them with the supplied S or L size earbuds. When you change the
earbuds, install them firmly on the headphones to prevent the earbuds
from detaching and remaining in your ear.
Cleaning the earbuds
Remove the earbuds from the headphones, and wash them with a mild
detergent solution.
How to re-attach the cord to the clip (see fig. C)
Hold the clip closed, and pull up the lever on the clip just a little.
Put the cord into the groove under the lever.
Notes
• If you pull up the lever on the clip without holding the clip closed, or
holding the clip closed but opening the lever too much, you cannot put
the cord into the groove under the lever.
• Do not catch the cord on the projection of the clip or do not wedge it into
the groove. It may damage the wires of the cord.
How to open the carrying case (see fig. D)
With your finger inserted into the recess, push and open the cover.
How to carry the headphones
Install the headband within the contour of the case, and insert the
earbuds into their ribs. (see fig. E-1, 2)
Wrap the cord around the center hub and insert the stereo mini plug in
the rib. (see fig. E-3)
Attach the lid of the case. (see fig. E-4)

• Listening with headphones at high volume may affect your hearing. For
