FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: ALWAYS TEST FIT EARTIP WITH THE SOUND TURNED OFF.

1. Select one of the 3 sizes of ear hooks and place the hook on the housing prior to putting the ear tip on the housing. The ear hook should fit securely in the fossa of the outer ear as per the image.
2. Select one of the enclosed ear tips based on size of ear canal and intended purpose of use. The foam tips are intended for maximum hearing protection and isolation. The silicone tips are primarily for listening to media or phone calls. You may need to experiment with each size ear tip to find the most comfortable and secure fit.
3. Select the proper size ear tip and ear hook to fit your ear and ear canal. Use the largest size that fits comfortably for most protection. The ear tip should form a complete seal blocking out sound. This is critical to achieve the highest NRR rating and protect your hearing.
4. Compress the foam tip by rolling between your fingers as much as possible before inserting into the ear canal.
5. Hold in place and gently rotate the ear bud until external sound is muffled.
6. Test with earphone turned off. Clap your hands and listen to the sound level. If the ear bud tips are the correct size and properly inserted outside sound should be significantly muted. If not, repeat steps 1-4 with an alternative size ear tip.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

A #10 battery is required. Expected battery life is approximately 80 – 100 hours.

Remove the sticker from the battery. To insert battery, open battery compartment by pulling down on the rim of compartment door. The battery is held in place by a small lip on the bottom of the compartment. Place the battery into the compartment so that the (+) sign side of the battery is facing up; when battery is inserted correctly, compartment door will close with ease. The Battery door will not close easily if the battery is not properly inserted.

DO NOT FORCE THE DOOR. A BROKEN DOOR WILL VOID THE WARRANTY!
Please remove the battery when the Stealth Elite is not in use. Any moisture on the battery should be wiped off.
