NOTE: For France, these earphones have been tested to comply with the Sound Pressure Level requirement stipulated in French article L. 5232-1. In order to protect your hearing, we recommend the following: Always listen to the lowest possible volume for limited periods of time.
i Warnings Do not use this product in other ways than described in this manual. Since the earphones block out ambient noise, never use them while operating machinery or driving any kind of vehicle, walking, biking, jogging or during any other activity where failure to hear outside sounds or alerts can be dangerous. Keep this product and its accessories out of the reach of children. Handling or use by children may pose a threat of death or serious injury.
4. How to use Only use Audéo PFE with original parts. Never use accessories from other manufacturers. They may not be compatible with Audéo PFE and can modify the frequency response of your earphones, damage them or even cause injury! a. Wearing the earphones Audéo PFE deliver amazing sound if correctly inserted in the ears and if an absolute seal is achieved. To experience their best performance, proceed as follows: 1. Turn the volume of the sound source to a minimum before connecting the earphones. 2.
3. Attach the silicone ear guides to the cables and pull through to the earphones. The ear guides route the wires comfortably around the ears and ensure a perfect fit and reduced cable noise. The snug fit is especially great during exercise because the earphones stay firmly in place. Use of the ear guides is optional. 5. Hold each earphone by the "leg", with the cable pointing up, and the ear tips towards your head. 4. If you are using ComplyTM foam tips, compress them with your fingers. 7.
. The ear tips should seal the ear canal and fit without any discomfort. Rotate the earphones so that the "leg" points diagnally towards the top of the ear. b. Ear tips The silicone ear tips are washable and better for use during exercise. The ComplyTM foam ear tips are better at filtering out ambient noise, making them the best choice for travel or use in noisy surroundings. To change the ear tips (foam or silicone), grab the ear tip in the middle and pull it slowly until it comes loose.
c. Audio filters The audio filters have an essential acoustic function for the frequency response of the Audéo PFE. The purpose of this filter is to deliver sound that matches what one perceives when listening with non-occluded ears. Different kinds of audio filters are available for Audéo PFE: The grey filter is for enhanced perception of the mid-frequencies, the black audio filter for enhanced bass and treble and green filters for Perfect Bass.
3. Do not overtwist the tool; stop when you feel a slight resistance (about 1 rotation) or you could damage the audio filter. Pull the used audio filter out. 5. Proceed with placing a new audio filter in the earphones. Make sure that the audio filter is sitting in the dispenser with the open side facing upwards. 6. Press the "flat end" of the changing tool into the filter ring and pull out vertically. 4.
d. Maintenance To extend the lifetime of your earphones, keep them clean and follow the recommendations below.
