Use of earphones

Only use Audéo PFE with original parts. Never use accessories from other manufacturers, as they are not compatible with Audéo PFE and can modify the frequency response of your earphones, damage them or even cause injury.

Original accessories can be purchased from authorized Phonak dealers or on the na.audeoworld.com website (available only in some countries).

Wearing the earphones

Audéo earphones deliver amazing sound if correctly inserted in the ears and if an absolute seal is achieved. To experience the best performance, proceed as follows:

1. Turn the volume of the sound source to a minimum before connecting the earphones.
2. Identify the left and right earphones.
3. Attach the silicone ear guides to the cables and pull through to the earphones. The ear guides route the wires comfortably around the ears, ensuring a perfect fit and reduced cable noise. The snug fit is especially great during exercise because the earphones stay firmly in place. Use of the ear guides is optional.

4. If you are using Comply™ foam tips, compress them with your fingers.
5. Hold each earphone by the "leg" with the cable pointing up and the ear tips toward your head.
6. Place the cable behind the ear and insert the ear tips into your ear canal with a gentle push. Do not force the earphones into the ears! If the ear tips are too big, try a smaller size.

7. The cables hang behind the ears and then "down the back" or "on the chest". With the ear guides attached, the cable is routed perfectly around your ear.

Removing the earphones

1. The ear tips should seal the ear canal and fit without any discomfort. Rotate the earphones so that the "leg" points diagonally towards the top of the ear. If you feel that the ear tips are too loose (insufficient seal) or too tight (discomfort), try using another size.
2. To remove the earphones from the ears, hold them by the "leg" and pull them out gently with a small rotation in order to break the seal. Do not pull on the cable to remove the earphones from your ear.

Ear Tips

The Audéo PFE comes with both silicone and Comply™ foam tips; the silicone tips are washable and better for use during exercise. The Comply™ foam tips are better at filtering out ambient noise, making them the best choice for travel or use in noisy surroundings.

To change the ear tips (foam or silicone), grab the tip in the middle and pull it slowly until it comes loose. Do not use your fingernails or any other sharp object to remove the ear tips, as they could be damaged.
