GETTING STARTED Your CS10 Bluetooth Personal Sound Amplifier includes the following parts: • CS10 Earpiece • Two rechargeable batteries • Battery charging kit • Three ear tips (small, medium, large) • Earpiece cleaning tool • Carrying case 4
EARPIECE Battery terminal has magnetic connectors for quick and easy battery installation. Program button located on the back edge of earpiece switches between three preset amplification profiles. Volume button located on the face of the earpiece allows user to increase or decrease level in 3 dB increments. Battery wire in adjustable tube provides comfortable fit regardless of ear size. Nozzle provides secure base for mounting ear tips. Ear tip fits in your ear like standard ear buds.
CHARGING KIT Charger power supply (wall plug) Charging Batteries Charger base has two battery charging stations with independent LED indication lights. Charger cable micro-USB to USB While your batteries may have a small charge when you unpack them, we recommend fully charging the batteries before you start using your CS10. It will take up to 2 ½ hours to fully charge your batteries. Fully charged, each battery will power the CS10 for up to 9 hours of normal listening.
To charge the batteries: 1. Assemble the charging kit by plugging the small end of the cable into the charger base, and plugging the large end into the charger power supply. Note: The large end of the charging cord can also be plugged into a standard USB connector on your computer. 2. Plug the power supply into a standard AC outlet. The lights on top of the charger will glow blue to confirm power is reaching the charging stations. 3.
USING YOUR CS10 Personal fit 1. The CS10 comes with three different sized ear tips: small (pre-attached to earpiece nozzle), medium, and large. If the small tip is not snug in your ear, detach the ear tip from the nozzle and try the medium or large tip. 2. Slide the ear tip all the way onto the earpiece nozzle. The end of the sleeve should come into contact with the base of the nozzle. Note: Do not wear the earpiece without an ear tip attached. 3.
USING YOUR CS10 Attaching a battery to the CS10 1. Align the contacts and magnets of a charged battery with the battery terminals and magnets on the earpiece. 2. Once the battery snaps into place, the unit is on. It is normal to have a slight delay of a few seconds as the unit powers up. To turn the unit off, simply disconnect the battery. 3. The CS10 provides an audible low battery indication. When you hear five tones played in sequence (low, high, low, high, low) it is time to change batteries.
USING YOUR CS10 Placing the CS10 on your ear 1 1. Place the battery behind your ear, hanging the battery wire over your ear. 2. If you wear eyeglasses, position the 2 battery between the earpiece of your glasses and your ear. Be aware that removing or adjusting your glasses may create a distracting noise in your CS10. 3. Insert the ear tip straight into your ear gently, wiggling slightly to ensure a good fit. The ideal fit is snug, but not tight.
USING YOUR CS10 Adjusting the volume Press the volume button to increase the volume. You will hear three tones in ascending pitch to indicate the new level. When you have reached the maximum volume, the last tone in the series will descend. Push and hold the volume button to decrease the volume. You will hear three tones in descending pitch to indicate the new level.
USING YOUR CS10 Go to a relatively quiet environment and listen to a sound source like a television program or a person speaking with each of the three presets for some time. You should readjust the volume to a comfortable level each time after selecting a new preset. Try all three presets over the course of a few days in common listening situations like conversations and watching television in order to determine the most suitable preset profile and volume setting for your needs.
USING YOUR CS10 Pairing with Bluetooth devices Pairing your CS10 to a Bluetooth device like smartphones and computers is a simple one-time operation. Your CS10 will seek and attempt to pair with Bluetooth devices for 3 minutes each time the battery is attached. After that time, if no devices have been detected, the unit will stop trying to pair and the Bluetooth transmission will be turned off. 1. Be certain the device you wish to pair with has its Bluetooth functionality turned on.
USING YOUR CS10 Answering phone calls 1. To answer a telephone call, press the CS10 volume button. On some phones, you may need to select the CS10 when answering a call. 2. During phone calls, the volume button can be used to control the volume of the call. Press to increase volume, push and hold to decrease volume. 3. To hang up, press the CS10 program button or end the call with the phone’s controls. 4. Do not push the program button during a call. The call could be terminated.
