WARNINGS Be sure to read all warnings and instructions before using your Super.fi 3 earphones. To avoid damage to your hearing, we recommend that you do not exceed 50% of the maximum volume on your audio playing device and that you limit your use to one hour per day. Always turn music volume down on your listening device before inserting Super.fi 3 earphones into your ears. Once earphones are inserted, gradually increase the volume to a moderate listening level.
OSHA has established the following noise exposure limits: Sound Pressure Level dB(A) Permissible Noise Exposure Duration(Per Day) 90 8 Hours 95 4 Hours 100 2 Hours 105 1 Hour 110 30 Minutes YOU SHOULD NEVER BE EXPOSED TO SOUND PRESSURE LEVELS ABOVE 115 dB(A). For more information visit the OSHA website at www.osha.gov. The foregoing OSHA exposure levels should be considered maximum limits. Compliance with the OSHA limits will not provide you with protection from potential hearing loss.
SAFE LISTENING AND PROPER USE Remove earphones if they cause any ear discomfort or you have difficulty inserting the ear tips (see page 11 for Fitting Ear Tips or page 17 for Suggestions for Using Ear Tips). Remember, ears are sensitive and you should never force anything into the ear canal. Consult regularly with a physician or audiologist if you have problems hearing, excessive wax build-up, or any discomfort after use. These Super.fi 3 earphones are intended for your personal use.

FITTING THE EAR TIPS Ultimate Ears has included a variety of ear tips for you to choose from to ensure a good earphone seal for your ears. All ears are unique and you will need to determine which tips are most comfortable for you. Most users find that the single flange silicone ear tips provide a good fit for their ears and are the easiest to use.
ATTACHING THE EAR TIPS The ear tips can be attached or removed by using a gentle grasping and twisting motion. The ear tip should fit securely over the ear conductor and once the ear tip is in place, the ear conductor should not be exposed. CARE AND CLEANING OF FLANGED SILICONE EAR TIPS The silicone ear tips are reusable and need to be cleaned with an antiseptic wipe after each use. They should also be removed and cleaned regularly with mild soap and water.
EARPHONE INSERTION - “ROCK N’ ROLL” It is important to get a good ear fit when inserting these earphones to maximize comfort and optimize the listening experience. A correct seal will help eliminate background noise and offer the best frequency response when listening to music. Go to www.ultimateears.com/videos to view the Earphone Insertion Demonstration Medium Low High Be sure that the volume is turned down to a minimum on the device that you will be using. Next, plug your earphones into the output.
STEP 3 Now, gently roll your earphones back to create the seal desired. (Note: if you are having difficulty please see page 17 for Suggestions for Using Ear Tips). STEP 4 Wrap the ear loops around the top of the ear to secure the earphones. The cables will hang behind the ears and either down your back, or in front of your chest. Use the adjustment slider located near the Y-junction to change the length of the cables.
EARPHONE CARE AND MAINTENENCE • Keep earphones clean by using a moistened antiseptic wipe after each use. • Avoid exposing your earphones to water, extreme temperatures, high humidity or prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light. • Use the cleaning tool regularly to keep the ear conductor clear and unobstructed. • Clean and change the ear tips regularly. • Avoid physical abuse of earphones. Dropping or striking the earphones may damage components. • Do not pull on the cables to remove earphones from your ear.
SOUND LEVEL ATTENUATOR When using your earphones with an unfamiliar or unstable sound system (airplane, public access ports, etc…) make sure volume is low and is kept at a moderate level to prevent “break-in” bursts of loud sounds. For these environments, we recommend use of the sound level attenuator to aid in buffering unusually high sound output.
SUGGESTIONS FOR USING EAR TIPS If the ear tips on the earphones don’t seal well or are uncomfortable, try some alternate ear tips until the best fit for your ear is achieved. If you are using a flanged silicone ear tip then try using a disposable foam tip for the “ultimate fit”. FLANGED SILICONE EAR TIP NOT SEALING WELL For best results, moisten the external surface of the flanged silicone ear tip before insertion into ear canal.
TROUBLESHOOTING DIMINISHED SOUND OVER TIME If you experience lower performance over time, use the cleaning tool to make certain that the ear conductor is unobstructed. NO SOUND If you are not receiving any sound, make certain that the jack is properly attached to your listening device and that the volume has been gradually increased. If you are still not receiving sound, confirm that the connections between the cable and your earphones are secure.
