i In order to protect your hearing, we recommend the following: I I 2. Important information I PREVENTION OF HEARING LOSS CAUTION: Permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones are used at high volumes for prolonged periods of time. NOTE: For France, these earphones have been tested to comply with the Sound Pressure Level requirement stipulated in French article L. 5232-1. I Always listen to the lowest possible volume for limited periods of time.
i I I I 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.
3. How to use a. Wearing the earphones Only use Audéo PFE with original parts. Never use accessories from other manufacturers. They are not compatible with Audéo PFE and can modify the frequency response of your earphones, damage them or even cause injury! Audéo earphones deliver amazing sound if correctly inserted in the ears and if an absolute seal is achieved. To experience their best performance, proceed as follows: Original accessories can be purchased from authorized Phonak dealers or on the www.
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.
8. The ear tips should seal the ear canal and fit without any discomfort. Rotate the eaphones so that the "leg" points diagnally towards the top of the ear. If you feel that the ear tips are too loose (insufficient seal) or too tight (discomfort), try using another size. To remove the earphones from the ears, hold them by the "leg" and pull them out gently with a small rotation in order to break the seal. b.
c. Audio filters The audio filters have an essential acoustic function for the frequency response of the earphones. The purpose of this filter is to deliver sound that matches what one perceives when listening with non-occluded ears. The product comes with two different types of audio filters: The grey filter is for enhanced perception of the mid-frequencies, and the black audio filter for enhanced perception of bass and treble. The grey audio filter is mounted on the earphones by default.
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. Microphone The Audéo PFE earphone microphone features a multifunction button. This allows you to listen to music on your iPhone or other mobile phone, and if a call comes in, you can answer it immediately without having to take off the earphones. The microphone is compatible with the iPhone and other music-enabled phones that are equipped with a 3.5 mm/4-contact stereo jack socket.
e. Maintenance To extend the lifetime of your earphones, keep them clean and follow the recommendations below. I I I I I R I The cleaning tool is for the tube of the ear tips (silicone or foam) and serves to remove earwax build-up. Never use the cleaning tool for the earphone sound tube! The silicone ear tips should be cleaned regularly with water and mild soap, or with an antiseptic wipe. Always make sure that the ear tips are dry before reusing. ComplyTM foam tips cannot be cleaned.
