Using Your Headphone System
The Interval Waterproof Headphone System features ergonomic earplugs designed to isolate sound and provide a watertight seal. The headphones are packaged with medium earplugs installed. Extra small, small, large and extra large earplugs are also included.
The earplugs should be pushed into your ear canals far enough to establish a secure fit but not so far that they become uncomfortable. Some users may find it perferable to use different size earplugs for each ear.
For optimal performance, the earplugs need to completely seal with the walls of your ear canals. Modifying the earplug size and its angle of insertion are important steps in creating a watertight seal.
Larger size earplugs may be preferable during active and / or in water use as they may offer more contact wth the ear and may improve the watertight seal.
A watertight seal is best achieved when the earplugs are inserted into your ears when dry. If your ear canals are wet, you may find larger earplugs provide a better seal.
We encourage users to experiment with different earplug sizes until they find the combination that works best for them.
Wearing Your Headphone System
Attach Interval Headphone system to goggle straps using clip on back of case. Position case on the back of head.
Headphone cable can hang below or over the ear and may be tucked under a swim cap.
FAQ’s
1.My new H2O Audio Interval Waterproof Headphone System sounds distorted right out of the box. What should I do?
The waterproof headphones feature sealed, watertight speaker chambers. During initial use, the headphones may sound distorted or operate at very low audio levels due to a vacuum formed in the speaker chamber during air travel or shipment. Volume and sound quality will return to normal once the pressure equalizes. Playing the headphones at 90% volume for 30min typically solves this problem. If the problem still occurs, wait 24 hours and test again as the headphones will usually equalize within a short period of time.
2.The sound is intermittent from my headphones. How can I fix or replace them?
Ensure the audio jack inside of the shuffle case is plugged into the shuffle completely. If the problem still continues please visit www.h2oaudio.com or contact customer service for further instructions on how to receive a replacement.
3.What happens if the headphones fall out of my ears while in the water? The Interval Waterproof Headphone System is 100% waterproof and can be exposed / submerged in water for unlimited time periods. How- ever, if the headphones come out of your ears and fall into the water, simply shake or blow off any surface water that may remain in the earplug. This will help ensure the best sound experience.
