How to use

How to use the supplied cord adjuster (see fig. A)
You can adjust the cord length by winding the cord on the cord adjuster.

(The cord can be wound to the cord adjuster up to 50 cm. If you wind more, the cord comes off from the cord adjuster easily.)

1Wind the cord.2Push cord into slot hole to secure in place.Note

Do not wind the plug or split section of the cord, as it will strain the cord and may cause a wire break.

How to install the earbuds correctly (see fig. B)

If the earbuds do not fit your ears correctly, low-bass sound may not be heard. To enjoy better sound quality, change the earbuds to another size, or adjust the earbuds position to sit on your ears comfortably and fit your ears snugly.

If the earbuds do not fit your ears, try another size. Confirm the size of the earbuds by checking color inside (see fig. B–1).

When you change the earbuds, turn to install them firmly on the headphones to prevent the earbud from detaching and remaining in your ear.

Precautions

•Please keep your headphones clean at all times especially inside the rubber earbud (see fig. C).

If any dust or ear wax inside the earbud, you may experience some listening difficulties.

•Listening with headphones at high volume may affect your hearing. For traffic safety, do not use while driving or cycling.

•The earbuds may deteriorate due to long-term storage or use.

•Install the earbuds firmly onto the headphones. If an earbud accidentally detaches and is left in your ear, it may cause injury.

Note on static electricity

In particularly dry air conditions, mild tingling may be felt on your ears. This is a result of static electricity accumulated in the body, and not a malfunction of the headphones. The effect can be minimized by wearing clothes made from natural materials.

EP-EX10A is available (sold separately) as optional replacement earbuds. EP-EX10A offers 4 types of the earbuds: SS, S, M and L.
