Insertion Instructions
Before inserting the monitor, turn down the volume on your
sound source and either drape the cord over your shoulders and
down your back, or run the cord down in front. The monitors are
marked with a red and blue dot. Red for the right ear, blue for
the left.
Compress the foam eartip by rolling it between your fingers (fig.
1). With the body of the monitor toward the back of your ear
and the cord facing forward, insert the eartip into your ear canal
before the foam expands back to its original shape (fig.2). If you
have trouble inserting the monitor, reach over your head with
your opposite hand and gently pull up and back on the top of
your ear before inserting the eartip. This helps straighten your ear
canal and may allow for easier insertion. The monitor cord should
run, over and behind your ear. Hold the monitor in place for 5
to 10 seconds to allow the foam to expand and conform to the
shape of your ear canal (fig. 3).
Once the monitors and cords are comfortably in place, slide the
cable zipper up to the base of your skull (not too snugly, as this
may cause discomfort). This will limit cable movement and help
ensure that your monitors stay in place during use.
Westone UM monitors come with two sizes of eartips. Use whichever is most comfortable
and provides the best seal for you. To remove and replace the eartips, rotate counter-
clockwise and pull gently. You may order replacement eartips through our Online Store at

same, there are established safety guidelines for sound
levels versus time of exposure.The following chart is based
on OSHA’s (Occupational Health and Saftey Administration)

guidelines are based on average hearing sensitivity.Your
sensitivity may be above or below these levels.

The use of any monitors offers benefits and risks.Westone UM monitors can lower ambient
sound levels approximately 25dB when properly worn. However, the performance capabilities
of the monitors can allow the user to negate the benefits of hearing protection from ambient
sound.We want you listening for a lifetime!
Remember, personal hearing protection is your responsibility!
Important Information
Important:
Used wisely, your new monitors will provide years of enjoyment.
Noise-induced hearing loss is preventable but often undetected until it is too late. Westone
and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you
avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. Used responsibly, your UM monitors can help
prevent noise-induced hearing loss. If you have questions, contact your audiologist or
hearing care professional.
Be sure to observe the following guidelines:
• Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.
• You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially
hazardous situations.
• Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle as it may create a traffic hazard
and is illegal in many areas.
