- Remove IEM by pulling on cable.
- Wear IEM if it has micro fractures, as it can break during use.
- Allow IEM to hit hard surfaces, or knock into each other, as this can create micro fractures or break the device.

Locate the sound bores at the end of the canal on your IEM. Using the loop
side of cleaning tool, point your IEM downwards, and begin to scoop out any
internal debris.
SCRUBBING
Debris will begin to surface and may leave particles in surrounding areas. Use
the brush end of the tool to scrub off any remaining debris.

ATTACHING & DETACHING CABLE
HOW TO ATTACH
STEP 1
Match the right ear with the right cable (red dot).
STEP 2
Insert the cable by sliding it until it feels snug. The colored dot on top of
the connector should always point upwards. This indicates that the positive
and negative are inserted correctly.
STEP 3
Follow same process for left side (blue dot).
HOW TO DETACH
Grasp the base of cable by port and gently pull outward while wiggling back and forth in an up and down motion.
DO NOT attempt to remove by pulling on the cable or you might damage the cable port and device.
All of our custom IEMS use recessed sockets. When using an aftermarket
cable, please ensure that it’s designed for a recessive socket. If not, you
risk damaging your device, if it doesn’t securely fit.
HOW TO INSTALL TIPS
To install tips, slide your selected tip over the nozzle until it feels snug.
To remove, gently twist and pull from nozzle.
