Important
Please read, understand, and follow all safety information.

Fitting
The Itunes Sport ADVANCE comes with 4 sets of TRILOGY™ foam eartips (XS, S, M, L) and 3 sets of silicone eartips (S, M, L). Choose the size that fits best in your ear canal.
Remember, the snugger the fit, the better the noise blocking. The silicone eartips are intended for use when NOT in noisy situations.
ISOtunes® TRILOGY™ foam eartips have a threaded core and the sound port on the earbud is also threaded.

1. Twist the foam ear tip counterclockwise to remove and clockwise to place on a new foam ear tip.
2. Carefully compress the foam ear tip on the stem/sound port.
3. Insert the foam/ear tip into your ear as deeply as is comfortable and hold for 5 seconds while the foam expands.
4. Repeat with the second ear tip.
   Hint: To open your ear canal wider, lift the top of your ear up and away from your head, as shown in the diagram.

Introduction
Thank you for purchasing ISOtunes Sport ADVANCE professional noise-isolating earbuds. These earbuds have been specifically designed to protect against harmful noise – allowing you to block out much of the surrounding noise so you can listen to your music or talk on the phone with less interruption.
This product has been tested and meets the ANSI & NIOSH standards for a hearing protector, with a Single Number Rating (SNR) of 33 dB and a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 26 dB.
Full testing details are available in the Noise Attenuation section of this booklet.

Noise Attenuation
ISOtunes Sport ADVANCE is tested and approved in accordance with ANSI S3.19-1974 Specifications.

ANSI
S3.19-1974
The level of noise entering a person’s ear, when these earbuds are worn as directed, is closely approximated by the difference between the A-weighted environmental noise level and the Noise Reduction Rating (NRR). Improper fit of this device will reduce its effectiveness in attenuating noise. Consult the enclosed instructions for proper fitting.

A1: Frequency (Hz)
A2: Mean Attenuation (dB)
A3: Standard Deviation (dB)

Example:

1. The surrounding noise level measured at the ear is 100 dB.
2. The NRR of ISOtunes Sport ADVANCE is 26 dB.
3. The noise level entering the ear is approximately equal to 74dB.

Please note that the NRR is based on the attenuation of continuous noise and may not be an accurate indicator of the protection attainable against impulsive noise, such as gunfire.

EN 352
B1: Frequency (Hz)
B2: Mean Attenuation (dB)
B3: Standard Deviation (dB)
B4: Assumed Protection Value (APV) (dB)
B5:
H = Hearing protection estimation for high frequency sounds (f ≥ 2000Hz)
M = Hearing protection estimation for medium frequency sounds (500 Hz < f < 2000Hz)
L = Hearing protection estimation for low frequency sounds (f ≤ 500Hz)

SafeMax™ Technology
ISOtunes Sport ADVANCE incorporates SafeMax™ Technology, therefore its volume output has been limited to 85 decibels (IT-36, IT-38), and 79 decibels (IT-39). ISOtunes® devices with SafeMax™ Technology are OSHA, NIOSH, and ANSI compliant and, when designated, meet the European Safety Standard  EN 352.

Tactical Sound Control™ Technology
This product includes TSC – Tactical Sound Control or Aware Technology. This is a microphone technology that allows the user to hear the world around them, but always at a safe listening level. When ambient noise breaches a safe listening level, the microphone technology immediately responds and attenuates to a safe level.
This feature automatically turns on when the product turns on.
Adjusting the TSC/Aware volume is easy. Simply press the TSC/Aware Volume Up and Down Button.

Cleaning and Maintenance

TRILOGY™ foam eartips are disposable. To ensure peak performance, we recommend replacing TRILOGY™ foam tips every three months or when they become soiled. In order to purchase additional tips, please go to www.ISOtunes.com or www.ISOtunes.co.uk

TRILOGY™ foam eartips should be regularly inspected for deterioration, cracking, or other damage. The eartips can be cleaned in between uses with a damp cloth and water.
Over time, the eartips should be replaced.

Clean your ISOtunes Sport ADVANCE by gently wiping them with a clean damp cloth. Mild soap can be applied to the cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleaning solvents to clean the headset.
Avoid scratching the headset with sharp objects, as this may cause damage.
Keep the headset away from high-temperature areas.

WARNINGS
ISOtunes Sport ADVANCE does an excellent job of blocking outside noise. As such, this product should NOT be used in environments where users need to  be fully aware of their surroundings for personal safety reasons. For example, do NOT use them while driving a car or riding a motorcycle. Similarly, do NOT use them when riding a bicycle outside. The user is solely responsible for ensuring that this product is used ONLY in safe environments.
This product may be adversely affected by certain chemical substances, such as bug spray and sunscreen. Further information may be sought from the manufacturer.
These earplugs should not be used where the connecting cord is at risk of being caught up during use.

Recommendations
The wearer should ensure the product is properly cleaned and dry before and after use. Storage should be in a clean and dry location between -20 °C and 50 °C.  The battery should not be fully discharged before long-term storage.
