TuneAmp FOCUS SET-UP (continued)General Description

NOTE: Both models are the same in appearance. To

determine which model you have, look at the inside of

the battery door. If you see a blue dot, you have the Basic

model. If there’s an empty space, you have the Focus model.

4General Description General Description 5

Tweak comes in two models:

Tweak Basic and Tweak Focus.

Tweak Basic has a single microphone that picks

up sounds from all directions. It is ideal for quiet

listening environments.

Tweak Focus has two microphones, offering

true directionality for those times that you want

to suppress background noise. The Focus model

is ideal if your lifestyle includes a variety of

environments, both quiet and noisy. Just as its name

implies, the Focus model allows you to focus on

sounds coming from a particular direction.

Tweak comes standard with two common size thin tubes (left and right)

ﬁtted with sleeve tips that will ﬁt most users. A vented dome is also

included, in case you decide you want more bass sounds. (SEE PAGE 8.)

The thin tube delivers ampliﬁed sound from Tweak into your ear. It is

important for the sound tube and tip to ﬁt properly in your ear. If you

need a different size, other tube lengths and dome sizes are available

through your retailer.

The rocker switch is used during initial set up to lock in your desired

ampliﬁcation setting. Once your ampliﬁcation selection is made, the

rocker switch also serves as a digital volume control. (SEE PAGE 13.)

On the Focus model, the rocker switch is also used to toggle between

programs for quiet or noisy environments. (SEE PAGE 15.)

6Components Battery Information 7

Tweak uses a commonly available 312 zinc air

battery. With normal full-time use, the battery will

last approximately seven days.

When the battery is depleted, remove and

replace it immediately. Replacements may be

purchased through your retailer. When not in use,

be sure to turn your Tweak off by opening the

battery door part way. (FIGURE 3, PG. 9)

Low Battery Warning

For your convenience, Tweak warns you when

the battery is almost depleted. You will hear three

sets of double beeps every 10 minutes, which

indicates it’s time to change the battery. Once the

voltage drops below 0.95V, Tweak emits six sets

of double beeps, then shuts down.

Important —

Always discard

used batteries.

Small batteries

can be harmful

if swallowed.

Keep batteries

out of reach of

pets and small

children. In case

of ingestion, seek

medical attention

immediately and

call (collect, if

necessary) the

National Battery

Ingestion Hotline

at 202-625-3333.

Tweak comes with two standard tubes (left and right). Tubes are marked

with red lettering for the right ear and blue lettering for the left ear

(FIGURE 1). Tweak comes with a “sleeve” tip already installed on the tubes.

If you want more bass sound, remove the sleeve tip and substitute the

dome tip provided. (The tips simply pull straight off.)

Connecting the Tube

Align the tube connector end with the end of the case, then push the

tube straight onto the sound post until it snaps into place. (FIGURE 2)

1Lift the notch at the edge of the battery compartment and swivel

open the door of the battery compartment. (FIGURE 3)

2Remove the brown-colored tab on a new battery (size 312).

Insert the battery with the positive “+” side facing up.

Notice the “+” on the edge of the battery door to assist you in

ﬁnding the proper orientation. (FIGURE 4)

ON–When the battery door is

completely closed, your

Tweak is on.

OFF–To turn off your Tweak,

open the battery door part way.

FIGURE 5 FIGURE 6

10 Inserting a Battery Wearing Your Tweak 11

3Gently close the battery door. It should close easily; do not force

the door closed. (FIGURE 5)

If resistance is experienced while closing the battery door, make sure the

battery is inserted properly. When the battery door is completely closed,

your Tweak is ready for operation.

Place the Tweak over your ear. Grab the loose end of the tubing

and gently insert the tip into the ear canal. Position the retaining lock in

the bowl of the ear. (FIGURE 6)

When properly inserted, the tubing will lay close to the head around the

front of the ear and into the canal. You can check this by moving your

ﬁnger down the tubing, into the ear.

Using a mirror at ﬁrst may be helpful

to properly position Tweak.

If the tip doesn’t stay in your ear, you

may need a different length thin tube.

Additional sizes are available from

your retailer.

Tweak Basic (For Focus model, skip to page 14)

Selecting Your Ampliﬁcation Setting

With a fresh battery in your Tweak and wearing the Tweak, you are

ready to choose an ampliﬁcation setting.

Start out in a quiet environment. The ﬁrst time

you turn Tweak on, it will be at the lowest

ampliﬁcation setting. How does it sound?

To try the next level of ampliﬁcation, press

and release the top part of the rocker switch

(FIGURE 7). You will hear two beeps, indicating

you are now in Ampliﬁcation Setting Two.

What you are doing is sampling the

available acoustic settings. There are

four different settings to try.

You can press either the top or bottom part

of the rocker switch to try out the different ampliﬁcation settings. You may

take as long as you want to decide which setting you like best.

Once you’ve made your decision, press and HOLD the rocker switch for

ten seconds, until you hear a long beep. (Pressing and holding either

the top or bottom of the rocker switch locks in your setting.) You have

now locked in your Ampliﬁcation Setting.

Congratulations! Your setup is complete. Tweak remembers

your preferred ampliﬁcation setting from now on.

From this point forward, the rocker switch acts as a volume control.

To increase volume: tap the top part of the rocker switch.

To decrease volume: tap the bottom part of the rocker switch.

NOTE: If you decide later that you want to reset your Tweak to a

different ampliﬁcation setting, see page 26.

hear a special sound that indicates which program you have just entered.

Quiet program – you will hear a beep. Noise program – you

will hear a “shhhh” sound.

Every time you turn on your Tweak, it will start out in the Quiet program,

at the ampliﬁcation level you locked in previously. To switch to the Noise

program, press and hold the rocker switch for two seconds. Do the same

thing to switch back to the Quiet program.

In both programs you can still make minor adjustments to the volume by

quickly tapping the rocker switch.

NOTE: If you decide later that you want to reset your Tweak to a

different ampliﬁcation setting, see page 26.

ON–When the battery door is completely closed, your Tweak is on.

OFF –To turn off your Tweak, open the battery door part way.

Tweak Basic: You have one program available –Quiet. You can still

adjust the volume by tapping the rocker switch.

Tweak Focus: You now have two programs available–Quiet

and Noise. To switch between Quiet and Noise

programs, press and hold the rocker switch for TWO

(2) seconds. You will hear a conﬁrmation tone: a

single beep for Quiet, “Shhh” for Noise. In either

program, you can still adjust the volume by quickly

tapping the rocker switch.

Important: To extend the battery life, turn off your Tweak by opening

the battery door whenever the device is not in use.

Be sure to keep your Tweak dry at all times. See page 21 for additional

tips on caring for your Tweak.

Care

CLEANING LINE

FIGURE 9

FIGURE 10

18 Care Care 19

Wipe the exterior of the tube and tip.

Use the cleaning line provided

to clean the tube and tip, by pushing

the cleaning line through the tube.

(FIGURE 10)

(Insert the line at the connector

end where the tube attaches to the

ampliﬁer case and push out through

the tip.)

Re-attach the tube by aligning the tube connector end with the end of the

ampliﬁer case, then push the connector straight onto the sound post

until it snaps into place. There is no need to rotate the tube when

re-attaching.

Do not rinse or submerge these parts in water. There is a risk of

damage if a water drop becomes trapped in the tube. If this should

occur, it will prevent sound from coming through the tube and may be

harmful to Tweak’s electronics.

The following instructions will assist in extending the life of your Tweak

ampliﬁer.

Cleaning the Exterior

You should inspect and clean your Tweak every day. To clean, gently

wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth or a moist non-alcohol disinfecting

wipe. Do not allow water or liquid to enter any openings.

The most common causes of ampliﬁer problems are moisture and wax.

The daily use of a Dry & Store

appliance is recommended to reduce

moisture and wax buildup.

Dry & Store products may be

purchased from your retailer

(or at www.dryandstore.com).

Cleaning the Tip and Tube

Remove the tube from the case by

twisting the tube connector at least

45° then pulling it off. (FIGURE 9)
