Congrats on your new pair of Crystal Guardian earplugs! Please read through all of the following instructions before use:
The earplug with the black filter is for your RIGHT ear and the white filter is for your LEFT. For sleep/solid earplugs, the right side will have a black, white or fluorescent dot depending on earplug color.
To insert, first orient the earplug so the tip curves towards the back of your head. Then angle the earplug tip so that it points up into your ear canal and slightly twist toward the back of your head, while pushing the earplug into your ear. Figuring this out at first can sometimes be tricky and using a small touch of Vaseline around the earplug tip can help if you are having trouble. They are fully in when you feel a complete seal.
To remove, lift up and out from the bottom of the earplugs.
When using the keychain case, please be sure to screw the lid on TIGHTLY each time you close the case. If you leave the lid on loose, you risk the case wiggling its way off and losing your earplugs!
Connecting cord: For earplugs with the pop cord style with blue and red ends, the cord is removable. To dampen cord movement noise, tuck the cord up and around the top of your ears. For the slim style cord (for smaller anatomy) without blue/red ends, the cord is also removable but you shouldn’t remove the earplugs from your ears by pulling on the cord. If you notice that the slim style cord is slipping out from the earplugs, push it all the way back in with tweezers.
You can clean the outside of the earplugs with an alcohol or baby wipe. You can also wash with lukewarm water and a touch of soap (the filters are waterproof, but it is recommended to remove the filters when washing).
If the opening at the tip of your earplugs gets wax in it, use the provided black wax loop pick to remove the wax.
For additional filter sets, -10dB filters have a turquoise inner ring, while -15dBs are blue, -20dBs white, -25dB black and -27dB red (see photo below). To remove the filters, use the metal tool to hook into the top logo of the filter and pull up. Place the new filter with a slight angle by pushing it down with your finger or fingernail. The filter’s logo should always be facing up. General note to be careful not to puncture the mesh on the bottom of the filter.
Your ear impressions will be kept on file for 4 years! If you ever need to reorder earplugs, you can just place another order on CG’s online store.
Please keep earplugs and accessories away from small children and pets due to choking hazard.
If you experience any issues or discomfort with your earplugs, please let me know so it can be resolved!
