Using Your Interval the First Time
Before using your Interval Waterproof Headphone System the first time, it is highly recommended that you become familiar with opening and closing the case to ensure the case is sealed properly during use.
1.Open the case and verify the seal area is clean and free of debris or damage.
2.Close and lock the case without the shuffle inside.
3.Submerge the system in water and soak for 30 min.
4.Manipulate the push button controls during submersion.
5.Remove from water and dry exterior so water does not fall inside when opened.
6.Open the case and ensure there is no water inside.
Do not use your Interval if water is found inside the case.
Please contact H2O Audio Customer Support immediately.

Checking the Waterproof Seal
The Interval Waterproof Headphone System features a removable waterproof seal that forms a waterproof barrier between the base and lid of the case. It is extremely important that special attention is paid to ensure the seal is completely seated in the groove of the lid. If the seal is loose, out of alignment, twisted or pinched in any way, it will compromise the waterproof integrity of the case and should not be used. Any debris such as hair or sand will keep it from forming a watertight barrier and should be cleaned off before use.
Waterproof Seal
Caution: If the seal comes out of alignment, carefully place it in the groove, ensuring all 4 corners are correctly installed. Compress the lid into to the base and then

FAQs
1.My new Interval Waterproof Headphone System sounds distorted right out of the box. What should I do?
The Interval Waterproof Headphone System has sealed, watertight speaker chambers. During initial use, your headphones may sound distorted or operate at a low audio level 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 30 minutes 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. If your headphones do not equalize or if you have any questions, please contact H2O Audio Customer Service.
2. The sound is intermittent from my headphones. What should I do?
Ensure the audio jack inside of the Interval is plugged into the shuffle completely. If the problem still continues please contact H2O Audio Customer Service.
3. What happens if my 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 an unlimited amount of time. If the headphones come out of your ears and fall into the water, simply shake or blow off any water that remains in the earplug to ensure the best sound experience.

Safety Information
Please read this manual carefully. If you have any questions please contact H2O Audio Customer Service prior to use.
Improper use of this system may cause the user to make mistakes or decisions that may lead to serious injury or death.
Always make sure to have the audio player volume turned to zero and the headphones turned away from the ears when turning on the audio player. If the volume level is not zero when the audio player is turned on, it may cause ear injury due to a sudden burst of volume. The volume should be slowly increased with an audio track playing to set the speaker volume to comfortable output levels prior to positioning the headphones next to the ears. Hearing experts advise against continuously loud and extended play. If you experience ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.
It can be potentially dangerous to use headphones while engaging in activities that require your full attention. You should exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations. Do not use the headphones while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in some areas. Those users that elect to utilize this system at, or near, the water’s surface, must maintain safety awareness of moving water crafts
WARNING: Earplugs should always be used.
WARNING: Contains small parts which may be a choking hazard. Not suitable for children under 3 years old.
WARNING: This product contains magnetic material.
Achieving the Best Fit
To get the best performance out of your Interval Waterproof Headphone System it helps to take the time to ensure a proper fit. We encourage you to experiment with different earplug sizes, styles, and the angle of insertion until you find the combination that sounds and fits best.
Here are a few tips we’ve discovered through feedback from our customers:
•Push the earplugs into your ear canals far enough to establish a secure fit but not so far they become uncomfortable.
•A tighter seal may be achieved by pulling your upper ear back while inserting the earplugs.
•You may find it preferable to use different size earplugs for each ear.
For optimal in water performance, the earplugs should completely seal your ear canals:
•Insert earplugs before your ears get wet to achieve the best watertight seal.
•Larger size earplugs may be preferable during active and/or in water use as they may offer more contact with the ear and a tighter seal.
•Wrapping the headphone cables around your swim goggle straps before placing them in your ears can help secure a better fit.
•The headphones may stay in place more easily if they are tucked underneath a swim cap.
