clEAning Your SportEAr
To keep your SportEAR operating correctly, you should
clean it regularly when you see wax, moisture, dirt or
anything else building up on it.
1. Remove the tips. Using the cleaning brush, use the
brush to remove any accumulated wax from the
exposed sound outlet. Figure 9. If wax is located
inside the sound outlet, use the brush to dislodge it.
Be careful not to push any wax into the opening of
the sound outlet.

2. Using a clean, soft cloth or tissue paper, gently
wipe the shell unit until clean. Use the brush to
remove any wax from the faceplate.
3. Remove the tubing by securing the sides with
your fingers (so you don’t twist the device apart
& break it, as this would not be covered under
the warranty). Turn the tube a quarter turn and
pull away from the device. Once removed insert
the cleaning wire through to push out any wax,
etc., that is plugging up the tube. Figure 10
