Wearing the Pro Fit™

1. To insert or remove your Pro Fit™ from your ear,

identify the right and left sides by color.

2. With the volume control wheel at the top of the

Pro Fit™ faceplate, hold your forefinger and

thumb with the tapered end pointed toward your

ear and gently insert the Pro Fit™ into your ear

canal and push into place with your forefinger.

Insertion may be made easier if you use your

other hand to gently pull the back of your ear

toward the back of your head while inserting the

Pro Fit™.

3. Once the Pro Fit™ is inserted in your ear, slowly

adjust the volume to the desired level.

4. While adjusting the volume, if you hear a

whistling sound, simply decrease the volume and

the whistling should stop. Whistling can also be

caused by a less than snug fit. Be sure the Pro

Fit™ is fully inserted in the ear canal.

5. Before removing the Pro Fit™ from your ear be

sure to fully decrease the volume. To remove,

place your forefinger under your ear and gently

push upward. This action will loosen the device so

you can grasp the sides for easy removal.

6. After removing your Pro Fit™ from your ears be

certain to remove the batteries to conserve

battery life.

CAUTION: If you cannot obtain a snug fit with

your custom Pro Fit™ you may not obtain the

necessary protection from loud sounds. Please

contact customer service for assistance.

Installing the Battery

Remove the sticker from the battery. To insert

battery, open battery compartment by pulling down

on the rim of compartment door. The battery is held

in place by a small lip on the bottom of the

compartment. Place the battery into the compart-

ment so that the (+) sign side of the battery is facing

up; when battery is inserted correctly, compartment

door will close with ease. The battery door will not

close easily if the battery is not properly inserted.

DO NOT FORCE THE DOOR. A BROKEN DOOR

WILL VOID THE WARRANTY! A #13 battery is

required. Expected battery life is approximately 120

hours.

Please remove the battery when the hunter’s aid is

not in use. Any moisture on the battery should be

wiped off.

NOTE: A weak battery may cause the unit to buzz

or hum.

WARNING: Button Cell Batteries are Dangerous

if Swallowed

• Keep batteries out of the reach of children.

• Discard batteries very carefully.

• Never allow children to play with batteries.

• Never change batteries in front of children.

• Never put batteries in your mouth for any reason,

as they are slippery and easy to swallow by

accident.

• Always check medication before swallowing, as

batteries have been confused as medications.

In the event a battery is swallowed call:

The National Button Battery Ingestion

Hotline(202) 625-3333 for counsel or

treatment

Operating Instructions

Turning the Unit On and Off

After inserting the battery, close the battery door

completely to turn the unit on. Turn the unit off by

opening the battery door to the first stop or

removing the battery.

Operating the Volume Control

Increase the volume on the Pro Fit™ by turning the

volume control clockwise. Always start with the unit

set at the lowest volume.

Note: The Pro Fit™ Custom Plugs has a built-in

“safety” circuit which limits the output of the

instrument to a maximum of 115 dB SPL.

Rechargeable Models

Following these few simple steps will keep your

rechargeable batteries in optimum condition and avoid

damaging the unit.

1. The Pro FitTM will operate with either a

rechargeable or nonchargeable battery.

2. The rechargeable batter should provide

approximately 12 hours of continuous use on a

full charge. If used for shorter durations, please

open the battery door to prevent the devise from

continuing to discharge.

3. Only place the Pro FitTM into the portable

recharging station with rechargeable batteries in

the battery compartment. Placing the Pro FitTM

into the recharging station with nonchargeable

batteries will harm the unit and void the

warranty.

4. Put one Pro Fit TM into each recharging station

separately, with the faceplate (side with the

battery door) facing up. You should be able to

see the light on your Pro Fit TM turn on when

charging.

5. It takes about six hours to fully charge the unit.

6. A new set of rechargeable batteries will be good

for about 500 full charge cycles or two years,

whichever comes first.

Program Selection (Classic Only)

The Pro Fit™ Custom Plugs has 4 programs:

Program Ideal For

1. General Everyday Use

2. Crowds Restaurants/Sporting Events/Large

Meetings. Compression is set to 85dB.

3. Music/Theater Concerts/Cinema. Compression is

set to 85 dB.

4. Nature Outside/Birdwatching/Hunting.

Compression is set to 85 dB.

When first turned on, the unit defaults to #1, the

General program. To change between programs,

push the program button. You will hear a series of

beeps as you change programs: one beep:

program # 1, two beeps: program # 2, etc.

Your Pro Fit™ Custom Plugs are programmed with

an intermittent beep or tone to indicate that the

battery life is less than 10%. When you hear this

tone it is a prompt to replace the battery before the

unit stops functioning.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

If you are having problems with your Pro Fit™

please check the following:

If your Pro Fit™ is too loud or you hear a hissing

sound, turn down the volume. If you experience a

weak sound or no sound, replace the battery and

make sure the unit is turned on. If sound is muffled,

ensure the sound outlet is not obstructed.

If Your Pro Fit™ Custom Plugs Whistles

Whistling/squealing may sometimes occur as you

cup your hand over your ear and adjust the volume

control. This action directs sound leaking from the

ear plug into the microphone, resulting in a whistle.

This should disappear when you take your hand

away. If not, check to make sure the ear plug is

inserted properly.

Caring For Your Pro Fit™ Custom Plugs

Remember that your Pro Fit™ Custom Plugs are a

quality instrument and should be treated in the

same careful manner as any other precision-

engineered device.

1. Never allow any liquid to enter the Pro Fit™

Custom Plugs as this may damage the

components within the device.

2. Do not store your device in any location which

would expose it to excessive heat (e.g. direct

sunlight, heaters, or radiators.)

3. Be careful not to drop the device as this may

damage its components.

4. Never insert any foreign objects into your device;

this could result in serious damage to the

instrument.

5. Never permit solvents to come into contact with

your device as this can damage the unit.

6. Clean your device by wiping with a damp (not

wet) cloth moistened with an antiseptic liquid.

7. Remember to clean your ear after showering

or swimming before inserting the aid.

8. Use a qualified battery to guarantee proper

functioning.

Fit™ is not in use.
