About the Canal Tip
Foam
The most important element of your new Trick Audio earphones
is the Canal Tip. This is because when properly inserted,
the tip acts as a barrier to external noise. Proper insertion
will also help keep the tip properly seated for maximum comfort
even during strenuous activity.
The tip is made of a
special material that is very soft (3 times softer than human
skin) so it will not irritate your ear, even when worn for
long time periods. The material will also compress when rolled
between your fingers, which makes it easy to insert into your
ear canal. And once the material is exposed to the warmth
of your body within the ear, it will expand to make a seal
that blocks out the outside noise. And since this material
is flexible, it will remain in place when you move your head
and jaw while talking, eating or laughing!
Ear Hygiene
To maintain a high level of ear hygiene, change the Canal
Tip when it is dirty, or every month, whichever comes first.
Do not use Canal Tips
that have been in another persons ear and do not switch
tips between your ears.
Precautions:
- These earphones are
designed exclusively for Comply brand Canal Tips with threaded
post.
- Do not swallow any
part of the TA-100 earphone or Canal Tip.
- Keep TA-100 Earphones
and Canal Tips out of small childrens reach as they
may be a possible choking hazard.
- Avoid over-tightening
the Canal Tip on the earphone threaded post. Over tightening
may cause the tip to become detached and remain inserted
in the ear canal when the earphone is removed.
- Do not use the same
Canal Tip in different ears.
- Do not wash Canal
Tips. Cleaning products can damage the Canal Tip.

These
tips are made of viscoelastic foam that has been scientifically
proven by the U.S. Army to offer the highest level of ambient
noise blocking hearing protection compared with any other technology.
As a result, these foam tips have been used for hundreds of
thousands of hours in military helicopter applications.
Two
sizes of tips are provided with the earphones (Slim and Standard
shown) so that the best fit can be identified. Replacement
tips can be purchased directly from Trick or from authorized
dealers.
Changing
the Canal Tip is as simple as unscrewing the old tip and
screwing on the new tip. Just slightly push the new Canal
Tip onto the threaded post located on the earphone and gently
screw on the Canal Tip until it fits snug against the earphone.
Inserting the Earphone
with the Canal Tip attached requires just a little practice.
Step
1. Hold the earphone for the right ear (marked with the
letter "R") in your right hand as shown. For the
left ear, use the left hand. While holding the earphone, squeeze
the foam with the tips of your fingers. Try and compress the
foam as small as possible then bend the end of the tip toward
you.
Step
2. Position the earphone for insertion into the ear canal.
Pull back on your ear to open the ear canal. Gently insert
the Canal Tip until it is positioned completely inside the
ear canal and release the ear.
Step
3. With the Canal Tip fully inserted into the ear canal,
hold the earphone in place for a few seconds, which will give
the foam time to react to your body heat and expand fully
within the ear canal. If the earphone is not comfortable or
does not insert completely into the ear canal, remove the
earphone, change to the Slim Canal Tip and try again.
