Safety Information e In order to save power, remember to power off EasyHear (EH) when it is not in use. e Always supervise children using EH. e As a matter of auditory training, increase EHs volume level gradually over time, such as in 2 months. e Listening at uncomfortably high volume levels, particularly over extended periods of time, may damage your hearing. e Should you notice an abnormality in the AC power adapter, disconnect it from the AC outlet immediately. e Keep EH dry and away from direct sunlight. e Do not expose EH to excess liquid, moisture or humidity. e Do not expose the battery to temperatures above + 40C or below -10C. e Do not expose EH to open flames. e Do not disassemble EH. e To avoid the pop noise, do not switch off the power in AM/FM radio mode. Page 5 EasyHear TC e Do not drop EH or subject it to strong shock. e No user serviceable parts inside. e Only use power adapter with output DC 5V, 800mA for battery charging. Notes on Children (3 years or under) Keep out of childrens reach other than child users of EH. Do not allow children to play with your EH or its accessories. They could hurt themselves or others, or could accidentally damage the product or accessories. EH or its accessories may contain small parts that could become detached and create a choking hazard. Declaration on the Supplied Accessories Please use original Logital accessories. Use of third-party accessories may decrease product performance and/or pose a risk to personal safety. Loudness Warning Improper use may be harmful to your hearing. On first time of use, please turn down the volume level before listening to EH after its power is on. When you are accustomed to EHs volume, gradually increase it over time. Page 6 EasyHear TC FOR EARPHONES:-
(1) Safety Information e Do not use the earphones in other ways than described in this manual. e Keep the earphones and their accessories out of reach of children. Handling or use by children may pose a threat of death or serious injury. The earphones contain small parts and a cord that may pose a risk of choking or strangulation. e If an ear bud becomes lodged in your ear, seek medical assistance to remove the ear bud. If removal is performed without proper medical assistance, the ear may be damaged. e Before inserting the earphones, make sure that the ear buds are attached firmly to the earphones. e If the earphones cause discomfort or irritation, stop using them. Consult a physician or audiologist if needed. e Handle the earphones with care and store them in the provided carrying case. e Do not expose the earphones to extreme temperatures or to strong magnetic fields. Do not immerse them in liquid. Avoid sharp blows to the earphones. Page 7 EasyHear TC e Keep these instructions and recommendations so you can review them in the future.
(2) How to Use Only use the earphones with EH and its original parts. Never use accessories from other manufacturers. They are not compatible with EH and can modify the frequency response of your earphones and/or the EH main unit, damage them or even cause injury. Original accessories can be purchased from authorized EH dealer(s). a. Wearing the Earphones The earphones can deliver the _ best performance if correctly inserted in the ears and if absolute sealing is achieved. To achieve the best performance, proceed as follows:
1. Identify the left and right earphones. 2. Hold the earphones with the cable pointing down, and the ear buds towards your head. Page 8 EasyHear TC 3. Insert the ear buds into your ear canals with a gentle push. Do not force the earphones into the ears. If you feel that the ear buds are too loose (insufficient sealing) or too tight (discomfort), try using another SIZe. 4. The ear buds should seal the ear canal and fit without any discomfort. To remove the earphones from the ears, hold them by the bud and pull them out gently with a small rotation in order to break the sealing. Do not pull on the cable to remove the earphones from your ears!
b. Ear Buds The earphones come with ear buds and are washable. To change the ear buds, grab each ear bud in the middle and pull it slowly until it comes loose. Do not use your fingernails or any other sharp object to remove the ear buds, as otherwise they could be damaged. Page 9?
EasyHear TC
(3) Maintenance of the Earphones To extend the lifetime of your earphones, keep them clean and follow the recommendations below. e The ear buds should be cleaned regularly with water and mild soap, or with an antiseptic wipe. Always make sure that the ear buds are dry before reusing.
(4) Optional Accessories To enhance your listening experience with the earphones and EH, we recommend that you opt for a pair of custom-made earmolds, to be attached to the earphones and replace the standard ear buds. For the severely to profoundly hearing-impaired users i.e., those with hearing loss of 70dB or worse in their better ears, this recommendation is particularly relevant. For further information on how to acquire custom earmolds, please contact authorized EH dealer(s). Page 10 EasyHear TC Specifications In the box
