FDA Note on Personal Sound Ampliers (PSAPs)
PSAPs are intended to amplify environmental sound for non-hearing impaired consumers.
They are not intended to compensate for hearing impairment. Examples of situations in
which PSAPs typically are used include hunting (listening for prey), bird watching, listening
to lectures with a distant speaker, and listening to soft sounds that would be dicult to
hear (e.g., distant conversations, performances). Because PSAPs are not intended to
diagnose, treat, cure or mitigate disease and do not alter the structure or function of the
body, they are not devices as dened in the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. As such, there
is no regulatory classication, product code, or denition for these products. Furthermore,
there are no requirements for registration of manufacturers and listing of these products
with FDA.
However, PSAPs are subject to applicable provisions of the Radiation Control for Health
and Safety Act of 1968, under which FDA regulates electronic products that emit
sonic vibrations, such as sound amplication equipment. (See also 21 CFR 1000.15.)
Manufacturers of PSAPs must report defects and adverse events and take other measures
described in 21 CFR Part 1003. Manufacturers of PSAPs must also comply with the
requirements to repurchase, repair, or replace electronic products required under 21 CFR
Part 1004.
Discard button batteries carefully.
• Do not allow children to play with button batteries, and keep button batteries out of your
child’s reach.
• Caution hearing aid users to keep hearing aids and batteries out of the reach of children.
• Never put button batteries in your mouth for any reason as they are easily swallowed
accidentally.
• Always check medications before ingesting them. Adults have swallowed button
batteries mistaken for pills or tablets.
• Keep remotes and other electronics out of your child’s reach if the battery compartments
do not have a screw to secure them. Use tape to help secure the battery compartment.
• If a button battery is ingested, immediately seek medical attention. The National Battery
Ingestion Hotline is available anytime at (202) 625-3333 (call collect if necessary), or call
your poison center at (800) 222-1222.

Congratulations on your purchase of
the RCA Symphonix Personal Sound
Amplier! This device is designed to help
you hear better in certain situations, like
meetings, watching TV, or parties, where
other sounds may interfere. The RCA
Symphonix Personal Sound Amplier lets
you choose the level of amplication and
noise ltering you want.
Getting Started
The RCA Symphonix Personal Sound Amplier comes
with the following parts:
:: Earpiece (with thin right
tube and medium dome
attached)
:: A312 battery
:: Storage case
:: Thin left tube
:: Small dome
(for the wide tube)
:: Wide tube and dome
(provides more volume)
:: Large dome (for thin tubes)
Find the correct tube for your ear
The rst time you use RCA Symphonix, you’ll need to
nd the most comfortable t for your ear and for the
environments where you plan to use the earpiece. First of
all, you should make sure the correct tube is in for the ear
you want to wear the earpiece on.
The RCA Symphonix earpiece comes with three tubes:
• a thin tube for the right ear (pre-installed on the earpiece)
• a thin tube for the left ear
• a wide tube and dome that works on both ears
If you plan to use the earpiece on your right ear, great...the
earpiece is ready for you to try out. If you plan to use the
earpiece on your left ear, or if you want to use the earpiece
with the wide tube, you’ll need to take the tube for the right
ear o the earpiece and replace it with the other tube.

What is the wide tube for? The wide tube provides more
volume than the thin tubes. Before installing the wide tube,
we recommend that you try a thin tube at all three volume
levels (see page 7 for information on adjusting the volume).
If you want still more volume than the third level, follow the
instructions below to install the wide tube.
4. Find the other thin tube that came in the package.
Attach the dome to the end of this tube by pushing
the opening on the back of the dome gently onto
the end of the tube. Push the dome onto the end of
the tube as far as it will go. Make sure the dome is
securely fastened.
5. Before you attach the tube to the earpiece, make
sure the exposed part of the earpiece is clean of dust
or other particles.
Dome
IMPORTANT: DO NOT pull
the tube o at an angle.
Doing so could harm the
tube connector or the
components in your earpiece
and void your warranty.
To change the tube:
1. Find the part of the tube that
attaches to the earpiece.
Gently rotate this section of the
tube so that the sound inlet is
exposed (as shown here).
2. Pull the tube straight o the
earpiece.
Note: If you’re installing the wide
tube, you can skip steps 3 and 4.
3. Once you’ve removed the tube
completely, gently pull the
dome from the end of the tube.
6. Find the part of the tube that
connects to the earpiece
(shown here).
Note: A thin tube is shown here for
illustration. Step 6 applies for the
wide tube as well.

7. Place the hole on the bottom
of tube connector over the
post on the top of the earpiece
(shown here). Turn the tube
sideways on the top of the
earpiece and push straight
down to attach the tube to the
earpiece.
Post
8. Rotate the tube into the correct position for use with
the earpiece.
Install the battery
1. Open the battery door on the
back of the earpiece.
2. Find the battery bag in the
storage case. Remove the
battery from the bag.
3. Peel the protective tab o the
back of the battery.
IMPORTANT: Don’t remove
the battery’s protective tab
until you’re ready to use the
battery! A ZA312 battery can
last for years in storage if you
leave its protective tab in place (see expiration date to
be sure). Removing this tab activates the battery for
use, which means the battery will run out of power in
a matter of weeks (probably even sooner), whether
you use it or not.
4. Place the battery into the
battery door as shown here.

5. Close the battery door
completely.
NOTE: Normal battery life for the
RPSA05 earpiece is 7 full days of
use. The RPSA05 uses standard
A312 hearing aid batteries.
IMPORTANT: Once you close the battery door, the
RPSA05 is on and ready to use. The earpiece stays on
until the battery runs out of power or you open the battery
door again. If you’re not going to use the earpiece for a
while, open the battery door to conserve battery power.
Place Symphonix on Your Ear
The way you put Symphonix on your ear is dierent
depending on whether you’re using Symphonix with a thin
or wide tube.
Using Symphonix with a thin tube
Earpiece
1. Put the earpiece behind your
ear.
2. Insert the dome in your ear
gently. Then gently wiggle the
dome into the ear canal so
that it is comfortably in place.
3. Fold the tail into the bowl
of your ear. The tail will help
stabilize the earpiece on your
ear and keep the dome and
tube in place.
If the tail is too long to t
comfortably in the bowl of
your ear, use a pair of scissors
to trim it to a comfortable size.

ENGLISH
Getting used to wearing the earpiece
The earpiece might be uncomfortable at rst. Having
something new in your ear might take a few days to get
used to, but any discomfort should subside after a few
days. If it doesn’t, you might want to try a dierent-sized
dome for the tube you’re using.
Installing the small dome for the wide tube
The dome that comes pre-installed on the wide tube
is designed to t most wearers. However, if after
using this dome for a few days you still experience
discomfort with it, you can switch to the wide-tube
small dome included in this package.
1. Hold the earpiece right-side up. Hold the dome
between your thumb and forenger. Secure the
end of the tube with the thumb and forenger of
your other hand.
2. Twist the dome downwards to remove it from the
end of the tube.
3. Find the plastic bag in this package containing the
small dome. Remove the small dome from this bag
and push it onto the end of the tube until it’s rmly
in place.
Using Symphonix with the wide tube
1. Twist the tube and dome to
the correct side for your ear.
Hold the tube close to the
end with the dome. Twist
the end of the tube with the
dome.
2. Put the earpiece body
behind your ear.
3. Insert the dome in your ear
gently. Then gently wiggle
the dome into the ear canal
so that it is comfortably in
place.
Note: Make sure the dome is rmly in position. You
may experience feedback if the t is too loose.

Adjusting the volume: an example
Let’s imagine someone puts on the RCA Symphonix
earpiece and wants to adjust the volume. Here’s how
he or she goes through the volume settings:
Turns on the earpiece; level 1setting.
Presses the volume button once (2 beeps); level 2
setting.
Presses the volume button again (3 beeps); level 3
setting.
Presses the volume button a third time (1 beep);

Low-battery indicator
The RCA Symphonix earpiece has an audible indicator
when its battery should be replaced: it lets out a soft,
constant beeping. So, if you hear a beeping that
continues past several seconds, it’s time to replace the
battery in the RCA Symphonix earpiece. See page 4 for
instructions.
