Charging Earplugs
Return earplugs to case then close the lid and earplugs will charge
automatically. LEDs will glow solid red while charging and turn green for 1
minute once fully charged.
Charging the Case
Charge the case via the included USB cable. Both LEDs will blink green when
the baitery level is below 30%. The left LED will glow solid green while right
LED blinks green when battery level is between 30% and 90%. Both LEDs will
glow solid green when battery level is above 90%.
Pairing Earplugs
First Time Pairing:
- Place both earplugs in charging case to activate.
- Remove both earplugs to begin pairing
- Search for SHADOWS on device and tap to connect.
Once paired, earplugs will power on automatically when removed from the charging case. If earplugs fail to power on automatically, charge them and try again.
Switch Paired Device
Turn off Bluetooth® on the device that you wish to disconnect. Earplugs
will auto disconnect and enter pairing mode.
On second device, search for SHADOWS and tap to connect.
*Multiple device connection is not available. Earplugs will auto reconnect to second device upon powering up again.
**Factory Reset
**
(Try the following steps to fix connectivity issue).
- On device, search for SHADOWS, tap and choose ignore or cancel pairing.
- Pick up both earplugs and touch both panels for 8s or until LEDs glow red for 2s to power off.
- Keep touching both bars for 10s or until LEDs blink red and green 3 times then blink red reset earplugs to factory default.
Touch either panel for 5s to enter pairing mode (LED blinks red & green). On device, search for SHADOWS and tap to connect. Earplugs should now be connected.
‘See “First Time Pairing” to connect after factory reset.
Volume Control
Slide your finger pad up/down on either earplug to adjust volume.
How to Wear
Choose the ear tips that best fit you. The rubber ear tips are best suited
for sports and recreation. Foam ear tips must be used for hearing protection.
For maximum
hearing protection, foam ear tips must be worn.
- Ensure that the earplug labeled “R” is inserted into the right ear and the earplug labeled “L” is inserted into the left ear.
- Compress the foam before inserting the foam ear tips into your ear canal.
- Angle the mic towards your mouth for better calling experience.
- Support the earplug in your ear for a few seconds while the foam expands, sealing your ear canal and protecting your hearing.
NRR=23eB Tested in accordance with ANSI S3.19-1974 In-ear
| Frequency (Hz) | 125 | 250 | 500 | 1000 | 2000 | 3150 | 4000 | 6300 | 8000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mean Attenuation dB | 29.6 | 25.0 | 27.1 | 28.0 | 35.8 | 38.7 | 37.9 | 41.7 | 43.6 |
| Standard Deviation dB | 3.4 | 2.7 | 3.8 | 3.0 | 2.9 | 3.6 | 3.3 | 5.1 | 2.9 |
The NRR calculated from these laboratory-based attenuation data is 23
Improper fit of this device will reduce its effectiveness in attenuating noise. Consult instructions for proper fit. The level of noise entering a person’s ears when a hearing protector is worn as directed is closely approximated by the difference between the A-weighted environmental noise level and the NRR.
Examples:
- The environmental noise level as measured at the ear is 91 dB(A).
- The NRR is 23 decibels (dB)
- The level of noise entering the ear is approximately equal to (91 dB — 23] 68 dB(A).

Tips
- Before use, please read the manual carefully and keep for future reference.
- Charge earplugs completely before first use.
- Ifthe earplugs cannot be found by your device, please check whether it is in pairing mode. if left unconnected for a long time, the earplugs will exit pairing mode; if a procedure error of your device occurs, reboot it; if a procedure error of the earplugs occurs, reboot or reset it.
Warnings
- Never disassemble or modify your earplugs or charging case for any reason.
- Donot store earplugs or charging case in extreme temperatures (Below 32°F or 110°F).
- Recharge before use if earplugs are left unused for over two weeks.
- Donot use harsh chemicals to clean earplugs or charging case.
- Keep earplugs and charging case dry.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
CAUTION: For noise environments dominated by frequencies below 500Hz, the C-weighted environment noise level should be used.
Although hearing protectors can be recommended for protection against the harmful effects of impulsive noise, the reduction rating (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.
