OWNER'S MANUAL

Insertion Instructions

Before inserting the monitor, turn down the volume on your sound
source and either drape the cord over your shoulders and down your
back, or run the cord down in front. The monitors are marked with (R)
and (L); (R) for the right ear, (L) for the left. If you have selected a foam
eartip, compress the foam by rolling it between your fingers (fig. 1). If
using a silicone STAR tip, the instructions are the same except that there
is no need to compress the tips. With the body of the monitor toward
the back of your ear and the cord facing forward, insert the eartip into
your ear canal before the foam expands back to its original shape (fig.2). If
you have trouble inserting the monitor, reach over your head with your
opposite hand and gently pull up and back on the top of your ear before
inserting the eartip. This helps straighten your ear canal and may allow
for easier insertion. The monitor cord should run over and behind your
ear. Hold the monitor in place for 5 to 10 seconds to allow the foam to
expand and conform to the shape of your ear canal (fig. 3).

Once the monitors and cords are comfortably in place, slide the cable
zipper on the EPIC cable up to the base of your skull (not too snugly, as
this may cause discomfort). This will limit cable movement and help
ensure that your monitors stay in place during use. There is no zipper
on the G2 cable with Apple control.

Westone Series Care + Maintenance

Here are a few simple guidelines that can greatly increase your listen-
ing enjoyment and the lifespan of your Westone Series earphones:
• Always store your earphones in the provided case.
• In case of poor sound quality due to earwax in the sound bore, use
the included wax removal loop to carefully remove the earwax. Never
use any other object to attempt to remove the earwax as this may
result in damage to the earphones and will void the warranty.
• Do not use the cord to remove the earphones from your ears. This
may cause damage to the cord and result in poor performance.
Damage of this nature is not covered by the warranty.
• Do not expose your earphones to temperature extremes.
• Avoid strong impacts to your earphones.
• Wipe down your earphones after each use.
• Never immerse them in water.
Please Note: Moisture in your earphones can cause temporary performance
issues. Do not insert your earphones if your ears are wet. Always dry your ears
completely before inserting your earphones. Should you inadvertently allow water
or perspiration into the earphones and they quit working, allow to dry completely
before attempting to use again. Minor moisture build-up should dry out and not
affect long-term performance. Extended exposure to moisture or submersion will
result in permanent damage (not covered by the warranty).
