Wearing the headphones (see fig. A)
1 Adjust the length of the headband and the earpiece angle for a
comfortable fit.
2 Wear the headband on your head, and insert the earpiece marked R in
your right ear and the one marked L in your left ear.
If the angles of earpieces do not fit in with your ears
Adjust them by swiveling the housings. You can turn them to upwards
approx. 40 degrees or less.
How to install the earbuds correctly (see fig. B)
If the earbuds do not fit your ears correctly, low-bass sound may not be
heard. To enjoy better sound quality, change the earbuds to another size,
or adjust the earbuds position to sit on your ears comfortably and fit your
ears snugly. The M size earbuds are attached to the headphones before
shipment. If you feel the M size earbuds do not suit your ears, replace
them with the supplied S or L size earbuds. When you change the
earbuds, install them firmly on the headphones to prevent the earbuds
from detaching and remaining in your ear.

Remove the earbuds from the headphones, and wash them with a mild
detergent solution.
How to re-attach the cord to the clip (see fig. C)

holding the clip closed but opening the lever too much, you cannot put
the cord into the groove under the lever.

the groove. It may damage the wires of the cord.
