FDA Note on Personal Sound Ampliers (PSAPs)
PSAPs are intended to amplify environmental sound for non-hearing impaired consumers.
They are not intended to compensate for hearing impairment. Examples of situations in
which PSAPs typically are used include hunting (listening for prey), bird watching, listening
to lectures with a distant speaker, and listening to soft sounds that would be difcult to
hear (e.g., distant conversations, performances). Because PSAPs are not intended to
diagnose, treat, cure or mitigate disease and do not alter the structure or function of the
body, they are not devices as dened in the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. As such, there
is no regulatory classication, product code, or denition for these products. Furthermore,
there are no requirements for registration of manufacturers and listing of these products
with FDA.
However, PSAPs are subject to applicable provisions of the Radiation Control for Health
and Safety Act of 1968, under which FDA regulates electronic products that emit
sonic vibrations, such as sound amplication equipment. (See also 21 CFR 1000.15.)
Manufacturers of PSAPs must report defects and adverse events and take other measures
described in 21 CFR Part 1003. Manufacturers of PSAPs must also comply with the
requirements to repurchase, repair, or replace electronic products required under 21 CFR
Part 1004.

Congratulations on your purchase of
the RCA Symphonix Personal Sound
Amplier! This device is designed to help
you hear better in certain situations, like
meetings, watching TV, or parties, where
other sounds may interfere. The RCA
Symphonix Personal Sound Amplier lets
you choose the level of amplication and
noise ltering you want.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Getting Started
The RCA Symphonix RPSA05 Personal Sound Amplier
comes with the following parts:
:: Earpiece (with wide tube and medium dome attached)
:: 1 A312 Battery :: Storage Case
:: 1 Small Dome
Install the Battery
1. Open the battery door on the
back of the earpiece.
2. Find the battery bag in the
storage case. Remove the
battery from the bag.
3. Peel the protective tab off the
back of the battery.
IMPORTANT: Don’t remove
the battery’s protective tab
until you’re ready to use the
battery! A ZA312 battery can
last for years in storage if you
leave its protective tab in place (see expiration date
to be sure). Removing this tab activates the battery
for use, which means the battery will run out of power
in a matter of weeks (probably even sooner), whether
you use it or not.
