H2O Audio 20081201 Instruction Manual

H2O Audio Surge Waterproof Headphones feature sealed, watertight speaker chambers. During initial use, your headphones may sound distorted or operate at a low audio level due to a vacuum formed in the speaker chamber during air travel or shipement. Volume and sound quality will return to normal once the pressure equalizes. Playing the headset at 90% volume for 30 minutes typically solves this problem. If the problem still occurs, wait 24 hours and test again as the headphones will usually equalize within a short period of time. If your headphones do not equalize or if you have any questions, please contact H2O Audio Customer Service at 800-708-6080 or [email protected]. I M P O R T A N T ! PLAY HEADPHONES AT 90% VOLUME FOR 30 MINUTES BEFORE INITIAL USE. PLEASE READ

earplugs designed to isolate sound and provide a watertight seal. The headphones are packaged with medium earplugs installed. Extra small, small, large and extra large earplugs are also included. The insides of the earplugs are labeled to aid in identification. The earplugs should be pushed into your ear canals far enough to establish a secure fit but not so far that they become uncomfortable. Some users may find it preferable to use different size earplugs for each ear. For optimal performance, the earplugs need to completely seal with the walls of your ear canals. Modifying the earplugs size and its angle of insertion are important steps in creating a watertight seal. Larger size earplugs may be preferable during active and / or in water use as they may offer more contact with the ear and may improve the watertight seal. A watertight seal is best achieved when the earplugs are inserted into your ears when dry. If your ear canals are wet you may find larger earplugs provide a better seal. We encourage users to experiment with different earplug sizes until they find the combination that works best for them. Using Your Headphones 2. The sound is intermittent from my headphones How can I fix or replace them? Ensure the waterproof headphones are plugged in completely. If the problem still continues please contac H2O Audio Customer Service for further instructions o how to receive replacement headphones. 3.

However, if the headphones come out of your ears and fall into the water, simply shake or blow off any surface water that may remain in the earplug.
