CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Adhering to these guidelines will ensure you and your Sidekick have a long and happy relationship:

• Always store The Sidekick in its protective case
• Always turn down the device volume before plugging your Sidekick in
• Wipe down your Sidekick after each use and never immerse it/them in water
• Don’t expose your Sidekick to temperature extremes or heavy impact.
• In case of earwax build-up in the sound bore of the driver tube, replace the filter using The Filter replacement tool. Incorrect fitting using other tools may result in damage and will void the warranty.
• Moisture in The Sidekick can cause temporary performance issues. Dry your ears completely before inserting The Sidekick. If water or perspiration gets inside The Sidekick, causing it to stop working correctly, allow it to dry out completely before further use. Extended exposure to moisture or submersion will result in permanent damage (not covered by the warranty).

NB INFORMATION

At Bumblebee Industries we are committed to making sound sound better and protecting your hearing!

Please observe the following:

• Once The Sidekick is inserted in your ear, start with a low volume and gradually increase it until a comfortable level is reached.
•  Do not turn up the volume so loud that you can’t hear your surroundings.
• Ringing in your ears, or any discomfort, can indicate that the level is too high for your ears. We recommend you drop the volume of the audio and take a break.

CARING FOR YOUR HEARING

If, after using The Sidekick, you experience muffled hearing, ringing or buzzing, your ears are trying to give you a warning. These symptoms are usually associated with a hearing condition called “Temporary Threshold Shift” and are an indication of conditions that could lead to permanent hearing loss. There are established safety guidelines for sound levels versus exposure. The following data is based on OSHA’s (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) exposure guidelines for industry. These guidelines are based on an average hearing sensitivity, so your hearing sensitivity may be above or below the levels:
