ENGLISH CARE AND CLEANING Follow these tips to prevent service costs and ear infections: • Avoid getting moisture in the nozzle, as this can adversely affect sound quality. Sweat entering the nozzle may cause the earphone to temporarily stop working. However, normal operation often returns after the earphone dries out. • • • Avoid striking or dropping the earphones. Extreme shock can damage them. Return earphones to carrying pouch when not in use.
ENGLISH • Wipe down the case and cable with an antiseptic after each use. Stop using the earphones if they are causing great discomfort or infection. CAUTION: Shure earphones are not immersible. Make sure flex and flange sleeves are completely dry before replacing on earphone nozzles. NOTE: Nozzles can collect cerumen (earwax), which can clog the earphone and lower the sound quality. If you experience sound loss, check the nozzles for clogging before sending the product in for service.
ENGLISH WAX GUARD You should place wax guards on the nozzle of your E2 earphones before using them. These protective rings are found on an adhesive strip in the fit kit that comes with your earphones. To place a wax guard on one of your E2 earphones: 1.
