AmpPods 60/90 Turkey, Elk, Deer
At TETRA™, we are hunters, we are hearing scientists, and we don’t like to read
instructions. Hence, this manual is intentionally written for your reading pleasure.
We also recommend you check out our product use and care instructions at www.
tetrahearing.com. Of course, we do want you to read the legal disclaimers and
warnings here. (Our attorney made us say that).
Welcome to the TETRA Hearing family.
We are passionate about helping you Hear the Hunt™.
Congratulations on your purchase of TETRA AmpPods Series hearing gear. Please
read these instructions to become familiar with your devices. TETRA AmpPods
products are discrete, comfortable, day-long hearing solutions designed specically
for the enhancing animal sounds while hunting. The hunter’s sound scape is brought
to life with our patent-pending Specialized Target Optimization™ (STO) algorithm
to maximize hearing of your specic hunting environment. With STO you will better
hear and locate the game you are hunting, more accurately, and from farther away.

WARNINGS:
TETRA AmpPods ARE NOT ENGINEERED TO BE A HEARING PROTECTION PRODUCT.
TETRA AmpPods are premium hearing enhancement devices with patent-pending
Specialized Target Optimization (STO). To help reduce the impact of loud noise,
these devices are designed with AlphaShield CompressionTM technology to shut off
instantly with a gunshot or other loud sound. However, because these devices do
not create a total and tight seal in the ear, they are NOT designed to be protection for
repetitive shooting. For such needs, we recommend the TETRA AlphaShield Series.
Improper t of this device will reduce its effectiveness. Consult the enclosed
instructions for proper t.
Individuals exposed to loud occupational or recreational noise, should have annual
hearing checks to monitor their hearing over time.
These devices must be worn and maintained in accordance with instructions. Cleaning
regularly and paying close attention to maintenance ensures best performance. If tips
are worn or torn, or do not feel as tight or comfortable as previously, replace the tips
immediately. Replacement tips are available at tetrahearing.com.
1. Battery Instructions
Each device uses a 10A battery.
TETRA recommends using brand-name batteries as others may vary in size. While
TETRA devices are not hearing aids, they do use the same type of battery commonly
used in hearing aids. Such batteries are designed to have a long shelf life, but they
can go “stale” if on the shelf for a long time. Be sure to check the expiration date.
Pulling off the plastic tab activates the battery. Do not pull the tab off until you need to
use the battery. Check to make sure no adhesive from the plastic sticker is remaining
on the battery blocking the activation holes.
2. Battery Life
With daily use, the battery should last 7-10 days. With intermittent use, batteries may last
for up to a month once activated. Even if not used, once the battery is activated, it has a
limited life. We recommend new batteries if the device has not been used in several weeks.
Low Battery Indicator: Haven’t used your TETRA devices in a few weeks and aren’t sure
how old your batteries are? Don’t worry, we’ve got your back. All TETRA devices include
a 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 the battery, you will hear
another warning of six double beeps, at which time your TETRA device will turn off.
TETRA Tip: Once you remove the tab, let the battery sit for a couple minutes
before inserting it into the device. This can help your battery last longer.

3. Battery Installation
Because of their small size, we recommend that you
insert or remove batteries on a table, desk, or some
other safe place to reduce the risk of dropping the
instrument or battery.
STEP 1
Using your ngernail, gently pull up on the battery door tab
A until the door swings open. Do not over-extend the battery
door as damage will occur.
STEP 2
Note: The rounded edge of the battery B is negative, and
the completely at side is positive. The at side (+) needs
to be on the door’s (+) side.
With the red (+) of the battery door facing you C, hold the battery with the rounded
edge positioned towards the back, gently push the battery straight in. The lower part
of the battery door will ex to accept the battery.
STEP 3
With the battery installed, gently close the
battery door. Wait for three seconds while
the device powers on. To turn the device
off and to prevent battery drain when not in
use, gently pull the battery door open.
STEP 4
To remove the battery: With the battery red door (+) facing you, tilt the bottom of the
battery towards you. This will allow the battery to move from under the front lip.
Please 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 Hotline at 1-202-625-3333.

TETRA Tip: When closing the battery door, it should go into the device VERY
easily. If you must push hard or feel resistance, do not force it. The battery is
likely placed incorrectly in the door. Resist the urge to force it!

4. Placement in the ear
STEP 1
Select right or left ear.
We ship the products with
color-coded sleeves.
The red sleeved device
ts the right ear, the clear
sleeved device is for
the left D.
STEP 2
Place the sleeved device into
the ear canal.
STEP 3
Press the D-ring Einto the
concha of the ear F. Be
sure that the Helix portion of
the D-ring is seated properly
and fully in the concha of
the ear. Nothing should be
sticking out as shown here.
STEP 4
Pull back on the back of the ear and gently press the device into the canal to ensure
a good t.
When inserting the device for the rst time, there may be a whistle. Don’t worry,
this is completely normal, and it will stop once the device is properly seated in the
ear canal. If that whistle is bothersome, we suggest that you practice without the
battery in the device until you have perfected placement in your ear.
REMOVAL
To remove, grasp the device by the D-ring and gently remove from ear. Open the battery
door to turn the device off and to save on battery life. Opening the battery door allows
internal moisture to evaporate, which keeps the electronics working well.
Note: Do not pull on the battery door at any point. This can damage the battery door.
TETRA Tip: Using a mirror may be
helpful the rst few times you put your
devices into your ears properly.
TETRA Tip: If your TETRA device is in the ear and the device
whistles, then something is not correct. Check the following: 1.
Make sure your ear canal is not blocked with wax. 2. Make sure the
sleeve is not worn and in need of replacement. 3. Make sure the
TETRA device is fully seated in the canal.

6. Maintenance
EAR WAX MAINTENANCE
• Wax buildup is the number one cause of device problems. It is important to
keep your device as clean as possible. Wipe daily after use with a dry cloth,
carefully removing any traces of wax and debris.
• AmpPods are designed with a specialized lter to protect wax from clogging
up the sound port. This wax guard contains a tiny screen that prevents wax
from entering the hearing device. Wax guards are delicate and must be
replaced, not cleaned.
• Given that earwax is natural and common, replace the wax guard on your
devices every few months or more frequently as needed. This is easy to
do with the wax guard dispenser and changing tool you received with your
AmpPods.
• Gently screw in the threaded
end Hof the changing tool
into the old wax guard and
pull out the old wax guard.
• To dispose of the wax guard,
push the changing tool with
the old wax guard into the
center of the wheel dispenser
I, and slip off the wax guard
by sliding the tool to the side.
• Use the other end of the
changing tool to pull out a
new wax guard Jfrom the
dispenser and press it into
the sound port Kof your
hearing device.
IF YOUR DEVICE IS NOT WORKING—REPLACE THE WAX GUARD.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
• Store in a cool dry place. Do not store in the bathroom.
• Keep your devices dry and away from extreme temperatures.
• Keep your devices away from animals and small children.
• Do not drop the devices.
• Remove your devices before using hair spray, perfumes, sunscreens or
shaving lotions, as these items can clog or damage your device.
• If your devices stop working, check the battery and the wax guard. Make
sure the battery is not dead and it is inserted correctly. You should not have
to force the battery door shut, and once closed, the battery should not be
exposed. Make sure the wax guard is not clogged.
• Always take great caution when opening and closing the battery door. Do
not carry the device by the battery door. Never pull the door further back
than is necessary when inserting or removing the battery.
• Always remove batteries from the devices when you are not using your
TETRA hearing gear. Old batteries can corrode in the devices.
• Replacement sleeves, D-Rings, and wax guards are available at www.
