The boom is detachable. AnotherEtymotic first.The etyBlu headset utilizes Bluetooth® 2.0 + EDR extended data rate wireless technology.

Getting StartedBefore using the etyBlu headset:• Fully charge the headset.Typical charging time from empty is2-3 hours; 80% charge in 1 hour• Pair the headset with a Bluetooth-enabled device,e.g.,cell phone,PDA, computerWhen properly inserted,the headset is self-supporting in the earcanal.An optional earloop is supplied with the headset. The earloop can be used on either ear.Sound quality and noise isolation depend on a good eartip seal.Selecting an Eartip
Insertion• Carefully insert the earpiece whilepulling up and out on the back ofthe ear.• Twist the earpiece while insertinguntil outside noise is blocked out.• Position the earpiece for best fitand comfort.•Flanged eartip: Moistening eases insertion.•Foam eartip: Roll down or compress foam eartip beforeinserting. Hold the eartip in place for about 5 seconds whilethe foam expands to create a tight seal in the ear canal.For a video on proper earphone insertion go to www.etymotic.com.RemovalTo avoid discomfort, remove the headset slowly with a twistingmotion to gradually break the seal.Open jaw slightly to equalizepressure,because suction can occur when the eartip is removed.
Wearing the EtyBluImportant: To insure optimal performance it is important thatthe eartip seals the ear canal.• Choose an eartip that fits.• Push the earloop through the earloop hole and adjust it to fitcomfortably on the ear. The earpiece is designed to be self-supporting in the ear canal, so the earhook is optional.• When using the boom,there isonly one way to attach it to theheadset. Bend the gooseneck so that the tip of the microphoneis close to the mouth.• The etyBlu headset can be wornon either ear.
Boom Mic—When to useWithout Boom MicFor quiet /low noiseenvironments.With Boom Mic For noisy environments.-Gives up to 25 dB morenoise rejection thanmicrophones that are not close to the mouth,which can mean a critical difference in understanding and being understood.

Proper Care•Do not expose the headset to extreme temperatures.•Avoid dropping and strong impact.•Leave an eartip on the headset for shock protection.Cleaning/replacement of eartip•Clean or replace a flanged eartip prior to use by others.•Replace a foam eartip prior to use by others.•Clean a flanged eartip by simply wiping it off with a soft cloth.If water and mild soap are used,dry the eartip before replacingit on the headset.•Replace disposable foam eartips regularly.•Replace flanged eartips every 6-12 months.
CautionConsult an audiologist or physician if you have excessive earwax,difficulty inserting the eartips,or discomfort after prolonged use.The etyBlu headset excludes most externalsounds.Always use extreme caution while using any headsetwhen operating a motorized vehicle.Do not use the headset at excessively loud levels.Research confirms that earphones that seal the ear canal allow listenersto listen at safer levels.Noise-induced hearing loss is a functionof exposure time,the average sound level and the peak of veryloud sounds.A sealed eartip and lower listening levels allow forlonger periods of safe listening time.
