Complications W hich M ay A rise
If conditions such as irritation, inflammation and pain arise, they are normally due to
pressure applied from the ear plug on a particularly sensitive area of your ear. You may
easily be able to correct this by trimming the ear plug at the point of irritation. For an
actual a llergic r eaction, o r a ny o ther u nusual c onditions, c onsult y our p hysician.

Batteries (Avg. Life 360 Hrs): After extended use of your battery, the unit sound volume
will rapidly get weaker, and may become noisy and ineffective in operation. This indicates
that the battery should be replaced. Always remove the battery if your unit is not going to
