3) Do not use the player in a humid environment. This player may not work properly or shorten
its service life because of moisture.
4) The AGPTEK-M6S/M16S uses Micro USB port for charging and data transfer. Connect this
player to cables with different port forcefully may lead to serious damage.

Tips:

headphones with care while listening to music.
3) Please do not play music loudly in public. This may affect your hearing and people around
you.
4) Long-term exposure, repeated exposure to music or other noisy environments may result in
temporary or permanent noise-induced hearing loss.
5) The symptoms of hearing loss gradually increase with the exposure time. At the beginning,
you may not even be aware of the loss unless it is detected through a hearing test.
6) To protect your hearing, please adjust the volume so that the sound coming out of the
earphones is appropriate. When you can listen to the music clearly, it is recommended to set
a lower volume as much as possible. Studies have shown that when people's ears are in an
environment with a sound level of less than 80 dB for a long time, it will do not harm to
hearing. Therefore, it is safe to listen to music by earphones at this volume.
