Turning the PERSONAL SOUND™ On / Off
Wearing your PERSONAL SOUND™
•
Hold your PERSONAL SOUND™ between your
middle finger and thumb. Using your index
finger 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.
1. On: Simply close the battery door.
2. Off: 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.
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.

Wax Guard Removal
Wax Guard Replacement
(not included - supplied with wax guard dispenser)
Given that earwax is common, replace the wax
guard on your PERSONAL SOUND™ every month.
This is easy to do with the wax guard dispenser and
changing tool (sold separately at ableplanet.com).
Replacing with a new Wax Guard
•
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
PERSONAL SOUND™.
(sold separately at ableplanet.com)
Removing the Wax Guard
•
•
Gently screw in the threaded end of the
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.

Battery Information
Battery Information
Replacing the Battery
Your PERSONAL SOUND™ uses a size 10 battery. The
lifespan of the battery is approximately 70 hours.
Please insert a battery upon receipt of the device.
Low battery Indicator
A warning of three double beeps every eight
minutes indicates that the battery needs to be
replaced. If you do not change your battery, you will
hear another warning of six double beeps, at which
time your device will automatically turn off.

1. Gently pull open the battery door with your
fingernail and remove the used battery.
2. Using the plastic tab of a fresh battery, place the
battery into the battery compartment. While
holding the battery in place, peel off the plastic
tab.
3. To fully activate the battery, wait for one minute
before gently closing the battery door. If the
door does not close easily, check to see if the
battery was inserted properly.
Battery Warning Information:
Dispose of used batteries in an environmentally friendly way. Do not place
batteries in your mouth. If swallowed, contact your physician immediately

Using with Telephone / Cell Phones
Program Settings
Program Control
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.
Program 1
Program 2
1 beep
2 beeps
Program 3

Each time the battery door is opened, the device
defaults back to program 1.

Telephone
Hold the phone handset as you normally would.
Move the handset slightly to find the position that
sounds best to you. If you encounter whistling
(feedback), tilt the phone handset at an angle until
the whistling stops.
Cell Phone
Your PERSONAL SOUND™ is designed to comply
with the Standards of International Electromagnetic
Compatibility. However, not all cell phones are
device compatible. Please check with your cellular
phone carrier.

Caring for your PERSONAL SOUND™
Troubleshooting
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.
Do not drop your PERSONAL SOUND™ or knock it
against hard surfaces.

Hearing abilities are like fingerprints. Everyone hears
differently. 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 amplifies hard to hear
frequencies while reducing background noise to
enhance sound quality and clarity.
