iHome IB17 Quick Start Manual

Model: iB17
Noise Isolating Earbuds
with Volume Control
Cord Managment
The hang tag at this top of the package also functions as a convenient cord
management device. Pass the headphone plug through the opening in the
hang tag as shown and then wind the headphone cord around the hang tag.
This will keep your headphone cord tangle free and always ready to use.
Using Your iHome Headphones
The earpieces are marked "L" and "R". Place the "L" earpiece in your left ear and
the "R" earpiece in your right ear for proper fit and best sound. If the earpieces are
inserted incorrectly they will not fit properly in your ears and the sound quality will
not be satisfactory.
NOTE: Your iB17 headphones are supplied with three different size silicon tips
(S-M-L) for maximum comfort and to seal out unwanted noise. The "M" (medium)
size tips were installed at our factory. If you find that the installed tips are too small
or too large for your ears, you may remove them and replace them with the larger
or smaller size accessory tips. To replace the tips simply pull them off the earpieces.
To install different size tips, push them on to the earpieces and make sure they are
fully seated on each earpiece so that they do not come off when you remove the
earpiece from your ear. If one of the tips remains in your ear when you remove the
headphones, remove the tip carefully and avoid pushing it further into your ear
canal. Seek medical assistance if one of the tips becomes lodged in your ear and
you are unable to remove it.
Connect the headphone plug to the headphone jack of your music player. Be sure
that the plug is fully inserted into the jack. If the plug is not fully inserted you may
only hear sound from one earpiece.
To protect your hearing, always start listening with the In-Line Volume Control set to
a low level and gradually increase the volume to a comfortable listening level.
NOTE: You may have to adjust the volume control on your music player as well as
the In-Line Volume Control on your headphones to find the most satisfactory sound
level. If one control is set too low and the other is set too high, the sound may be
distorted. Try setting the volume control on your music player halfway between the
Min and Max settings, and then use the In-Line Volume Control on your iHome
headphones to make final adjustments.
IMPORTANT! Listening at high volume for long periods of time can result in
long-term hearing damage. For your safety, do not use headphones if they would
prevent you from hearing warning sounds, such as while driving a car or motorcy-
cle, riding a bike, etc. Remember that noise isolation type earphones such as the
iB17 are very effective in blocking outside noise, including warning sounds. Always
be aware of your surroundings and do not use these earphones in situations that
require you to hear warning sounds.
NOTE: In extremely cold or dry air conditions you may notice a slight 'tingling'
feeling in your ears when using in-ear headphones. This is the result of the build-up
of static electricity in your body. This is normal and not an indication of any problem
with your headphones.
