Turning the PERSONAL SOUND™ On / O
1. On: Simply close the battery door.
2. O: When you are not wearing your PERSONAL
SOUND™, keep the battery door open to extend
battery life. Fully opening the battery door also
allows internal moisture to evaporate which
keeps device electronics working well.
• Hold your PERSONAL SOUND™ between your
middle nger and thumb. Using your index
nger place the device in the ear canal with
the speaker pointed toward the eardrum. The
D-Ring will prevent the device from being
inserted too deeply into the canal.
• Curl the D-Ring along the contours of your ear.
Allergic reactions to hearing devices are unlikely. However if you
experience skin irritation, redness, swelling or soreness in or around your
ears, please contact your physician.

changing tool into the wax guard and pull out
the old one.
• Dispose of the used wax guard before replacing
it with a new one.
• Push the end of the changing tool with the
smooth tip into the dispenser to pull out
a new wax guard and insert it into your

Program Settings
Your PERSONAL SOUND™ from Able Planet has
four listening programs, which have been preset
to enhance intelligibility in varying listening
environments (ie watching T.V or talking in noisy
restaurants). Make sure to spend time using each of
the four programs to understand when each of these
programs works best.
To change between the listening programs, cup your
hand and tap twice over your ear. With this 2Tap™
approach you do not have to touch the device to
change the program. The device will beep to let you
know which program has been selected.
Each time the battery door is opened, the device
defaults back to program 1.

Caring for your PERSONAL SOUND™
Do your best to keep your PERSONAL SOUND™ clean
and dry at all times.
• Clean your device with a dry cloth. Do not rinse
or submerge the device in water.
• Do not use water, alcohol, or other liquid agents
to clean the device as they may damage it. If
the device becomes wet, do not attempt to dry
it in an oven or a microwave. Open the battery
door, remove the battery and let the device dry
naturally for 24 hours.
• When you’re not wearing your
PERSONAL SOUND™, open the battery door to
allow any moisture to evaporate. Store your
device in a safe, dry place, away from direct
sunlight and avoid extreme temperatures.
• Remove your PERSONAL SOUND™ before using
hair spray, spray perfume or shaving lotions, as
these agents can clog or damage your device.

dierently. The hardest to hear sounds are in the
high frequencies and hearing abilities can vary by
ear. Many people, even those with normal hearing,
struggle to hear in noisy environments, or through
heavy bass sounds. LINX® DSP amplies hard to hear
frequencies while reducing background noise to
enhance sound quality and clarity.
