How to install the earbuds correctly

(see fig. C)
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 colour inside (see fig. C–1).
When you change the earbuds, install them firmly on the headphones
to prevent the earbud from detaching and remaining in your ear.

Precautions
• Listening with headphones at high volume may affect your
hearing. For traffic safety, do not use while driving or cycling.
• Do not put weight or pressure on the headphones as it may cause
the headphones to deform during long storage.
• 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.

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.
