E.A.R.® Plug Care
The E.A.R.® foam earplugs can be washed with soap and water and reused or they can
simply be thrown away and replaced. (Remove the E.A.R.® plug from the blue ear mold
prior to washing.)
If the black tube separates from the yellow foam or if the plug does not slide
properly over the temperature sensor, discard the plug and try another.
Operating

Insert the ear sensor assembly as described in Section IV and allow 5 minutes for
the temperature to stabilize. [It may be beneficial to run the sensor cable under
clothing or fasten it to keep it from being snagged.]
