3 Your PERSONAL SOUND In-Ear Amplifier Your PERSONAL SOUND In-Ear Amplifier Microphone: Sound enters your device through the microphone. 2. Speaker and Wax Guard: The speaker delivers enhanced sound to you. The wax guard protects the device from ear wax damage. The wax guard needs to be changed monthly. Left Ear: Use the Blue wax guard Right Ear: Use the Red wax guard 3. Battery Door / On and Off: Close the door to turn on your device. Open the door to turn off the device. 4. Serial Number: Each device has a unique serial number. 5. D-Ring: Curls along the contours of your ear and holds the device in place. Page 4 Page 5

4 Turning the PERSONAL SOUND On / Off Wearing your PERSONAL SOUND Hold your PERSONAL SOUND between your middle finger and thumb. Using your index finger place the device in the ear canal with the speaker pointed toward the eardrum. The D-Ring will prevent the device from being inserted too deeply into the canal. 1. On: Simply close the battery door. 2. Off: When you are not wearing your PERSONAL SOUND, keep the battery door open to extend battery life. Fully opening the battery door also allows internal moisture to evaporate which keeps device electronics working well. Page 6 Curl the D-Ring along the contours of your ear. Allergic reactions to hearing devices are unlikely. However if you experience skin irritation, redness, swelling or soreness in or around your ears, please contact your physician. Page 7

5 Wax Guard Removal Wax Guard Replacement (not included - supplied with wax guard dispenser) Given that earwax is common, replace the wax guard on your PERSONAL SOUND every month. This is easy to do with the wax guard dispenser and changing tool (sold separately at ableplanet.com). Replacing with a new Wax Guard Push the end of the changing tool with the smooth tip into the dispenser to pull out a new wax guard and insert it into your PERSONAL SOUND. (sold separately at ableplanet.com) Removing the Wax Guard Gently screw in the threaded end of the changing tool into the wax guard and pull out the old one. Dispose of the used wax guard before replacing it with a new one. Page 8 Page 9

6 Battery Information Battery Information Your PERSONAL SOUND uses a size 10 battery. The lifespan of the battery is approximately 70 hours. Please insert a battery upon receipt of the device. Low battery Indicator A warning of three double beeps every eight minutes indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. If you do not change your battery, you will hear another warning of six double beeps, at which time your device will automatically turn off. Page 10 Replacing the Battery 1. Gently pull open the battery door with your fingernail and remove the used battery. 2. Using the plastic tab of a fresh battery, place the battery into the battery compartment. While holding the battery in place, peel off the plastic tab. 3. To fully activate the battery, wait for one minute before gently closing the battery door. If the door does not close easily, check to see if the battery was inserted properly. Battery Warning Information: Dispose of used batteries in an environmentally friendly way. Do not place batteries in your mouth. If swallowed, contact your physician immediately or call the National Battery Hot line at Page 11

7 Program Settings Using with Telephone / Cell Phones Program Control Your PERSONAL SOUND from Able Planet has four listening programs, which have been preset to enhance intelligibility in varying listening environments (ie watching T.V or talking in noisy restaurants). Make sure to spend time using each of the four programs to understand when each of these programs works best. To change between the listening programs, cup your hand and tap twice over your ear. With this 2Tap approach you do not have to touch the device to change the program. The device will beep to let you know which program has been selected. Program 1 Program 2 Each time the battery door is opened, the device defaults back to program 1. Page 12 1 beep 2 beeps Program 3 Program 4 3 beeps 4 beeps Telephone Hold the phone handset as you normally would. Move the handset slightly to find the position that sounds best to you. If you encounter whistling (feedback), tilt the phone handset at an angle until the whistling stops. Cell Phone Your PERSONAL SOUND is designed to comply with the Standards of International Electromagnetic Compatibility. However, not all cell phones are device compatible. Please check with your cellular phone carrier. Page 13

8 Caring for your PERSONAL SOUND Troubleshooting Do your best to keep your PERSONAL SOUND clean and dry at all times. Clean your device with a dry cloth. Do not rinse or submerge the device in water. Do not use water, alcohol, or other liquid agents to clean the device as they may damage it. If the device becomes wet, do not attempt to dry it in an oven or a microwave. Open the battery door, remove the battery and let the device dry naturally for 24 hours. When you re not wearing your PERSONAL SOUND, open the battery door to allow any moisture to evaporate. Store your device in a safe, dry place, away from direct sunlight and avoid extreme temperatures. Remove your PERSONAL SOUND before using hair spray, spray perfume or shaving lotions, as these agents can clog or damage your device. Do not drop your PERSONAL SOUND or knock it against hard surfaces. Page 14 Page 15

Everyone hears differently. The hardest to hear sounds are in the high frequencies and hearing abilities can vary by ear.
