Audio Bone (regular model, not the adjustable model) is completely water proof (except for the plug). You will need either a waterproof case for your iPod or a waterproof MP3. There are several versions of each of these. They are available at many of the online swimming stores. Make sure the Audio Bone jack fits snugly to form a complete seal with your iPod/ MP3. Carefully follow all of the instructions on your waterproof MP3 or waterproof case. Audio Bone is not responsible for water damage from misuse.

Instructions for Wearing Audio Bone
Place the looped sections above your ears, so that the phones are slightly in front of your ears. The band should be slightly loose behind your head. Do not wear Audio Bone on your ears. The phones should always be slightly in front of your ears.

Instructions for Wearing Audio Bone Adjustable
Rest the looped section lightly on top of your ears, so that the phones are slightly in front of your ears. The band should be slightly loose behind your head. The phones are on adjustable swivels – move them around until you locate the clearest listening spot on your bone.

Important: You will need to increase the volume level on your device, as bone conduction requires slightly more volume to appreciate your music.

Turn Up the Volume. Bone Conduction listening requires a little more volume to enjoy your favorite music, so you will probably need to increase the volume on your device. If you are at maximum volume and still not getting enough output, contact us for a booster device.

Proper Positioning. For optimum sound quality and volume, experiment with slightly different headphone placements near your ears. For most people, the best spot is on the bone directly in front of the ear opening.

Listening in Noisy Places. Because Audio Bone does not cover your ears, you will continue to hear all outside sounds. If these sounds are too loud, it may make it difficult to hear your Audio Bone device. If you want to listen clearly on an airplane or another noisy location, we recommend using ear plugs. When you block your ears with ear plugs, the sound on Audio Bone increases.

Stereo Jacks. Audio Bone uses a standard stereo headphone jack. If you do not have a device with stereo output, you will only hear music in one ear. If you have a device with a different type of jack, you need to buy an adapter from the manufacturer of the device to allow it to work with standard stereo headphones.

Wash when Dirty. Your Audio Bone Headphones are completely waterproof (except the jack). You can wash them off with warm soapy water to keep them clean. (Warning: Do not soak or get the jack wet. DO NOT WASH ADJUSTABLE MODEL. )

For hearing Impaired. Take out your hearing aid, and place headphones on the bones in front of your ears. Turn up the volume to a comfortable level – and enjoy. Since Bone Conduction bypasses your ear drums, many people with hearing loss are able to hear clearly and comfortably with Audio Bone and no hearing aid.
