Safety inructions
Blue BYRD ANC (2nd generation) 7/14
Thank you for choosing Blue BYRD ANC (2nd generation)
in-ear headphones.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
►Please read these inructions carefully and comple-
tely before using the product.
►Please observe all inructions given, especially those
concerning the safe use of the product.
►The company beyerdynamic GmbH & Co. KG accepts
no liability for damage to the product or injury to
persons caused by careless, improper or incorrect use
of the product, or by use for purposes not specified by
the manufacturer.
►Do not use the product if it is defective.
Intended use
Only use the product as described in this product
manual. beyerdynamic accepts no liability for damage
to the product or injury to persons caused by careless,
improper or incorrect use of the product, or by use for
purposes not specified by the manufacturer.
beyerdynamic is not liable for damage to USB devices
that do not comply with the USB specifications.
beyerdynamic is not liable for damage resulting from
connection interruptions due to batteries being empty or too
old, or due to exceeding the Bluetooth® transmission range.
Please also observe the relevant country-specific
regulations before using the product.
Adjuing the volume
High volume levels and long liening times
can permanently damage your hearing.
Because in-ear headphones are placed
directly in the ear canal, they can become
6–9dB louder than conventional headphones, and this
increases the risk of hearing damage.
►Before inseing the earphones, set the volume to
minimum. Only increase the volume aer inseing the
earphones.
►Do not use the in-ear headphones at high volume for
a long time. When liening and speaking normally
with in-ear headphones, your own voice should ill be
perceptible.
►In case of tinnitus, reduce the volume. If necessary,
consult a doctor.
You can personalise your Bluetooth® headphones with
the beyerdynamic MIY app. The app’s “Statiics” function
records the sound pressure your ears are exposed to
over time. However, it only refers to the sound pressure
generated through the headphones' speakers and not to
that from external sources of noise.
Reducing perception of ambient noise
In-ear headphones draically reduce perception of
ambient noise. Using in-ear headphones in road traic
can be potentially dangerous. The user's hearing mu not
be impaired to the extent that it causes road safety risks.
►Do not use the in-ear headphones within the action
area of potentially dangerous machines and tools.
►Avoid using in-ear headphones in situations where
hearing mu not be impaired – paicularly in
road traic, when crossing a level crossing or on a
conruction site.
ANC function
Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) suppresses outside noise.
►Never use the headphones with ANC in situations
where hearing mu not be impaired and where doing
so would pose a danger to yourself or others, such as
driving a car, riding a bicycle, crossing a railway cros-
sing or walking near traic.
►Remove the headphones, or use them without noise
cancellation and adju the volume to ensure that you
can hear outside sounds such as alarms and warning
signals.
►Please note that sounds such as alarms or warning
signals may sound dierent when you are wearing
headphones.
Changed acouic perception
For many people, wearing in-ear headphones takes some
getting used to because the acouic perception of their
own voice and body as well as the inner ear sounds that
occur while walking is dierent from the “normal” situation
without in-ear headphones. However, this initially range
sensation usually diminishes aer wearing them for a
while.
Cleaning
Di on the eaips and the formation of a warm and
humid climate in the ear canal can cause an increased
level of germs, which can increase the risk of an ear canal
infection.
►Regularly clean the eaips.
Risk of swallowing
►Keep small pas, such as product, packaging and
accessories, away from children and pets. They
conitute a choking hazard if swallowed!
Using the batteries
Danger from heat, water and mechanical ress
Excessive heat, water and mechanical ress may
cause explosion, heat, fire, smoke or fumes. Injuries and
irreversible damage to the battery may result.
►Do not expose the battery (battery pack or integrated
battery) to excessive heat, direct sunlight or fire.
►Do not open the housing or disassemble the battery.
►Do not use the battery if there is a risk it has come into
contact with water.
►Only use a USB2.0/3.0-andard-compliant 5V power
supply unit to charge the battery via the integrated
USB socket type C (current consumption is max. 0.5A).
Storing the battery
►If the battery is not going to be used for an extended
period, set the charge level to approximately 50% of
the maximum capacity and ore it at temperatures up
to max. 30°C.
Environmental conditions
►Do not expose the product to rain, snow, liquids or
moiure.

Remarks on the life of Li-ion batteries
•When fully charged, disconnect the USB cable from the
charger and in-ear headphones.
• CAUTION! High temperatures, especially with a high
charge level, can cause irreversible damage.
•If the battery is not used or is ored for extended
periods of time, it is recommended to charge it to
approx. 50% and ore it at no more than 20°C.
•Switch o the battery-powered product aer use.
Selecting/changing eaips
The in-ear headphones come with five dierent sizes
of eaips. It is impoant to choose the right eaips for
your ears to achieve a comfoable and secure fit, good
ambient noise attenuation and the be possible sound.
If you are using them regularly, we recommend changing
the eaips every three months. Replacement eaips
made of silicone and other materials can be ordered
from the beyerdynamic spare pas shop:

Help with problems / FAQ
12/14 Blue BYRD ANC (2nd generation)
Settings for be sound
To achieve the be possible Bluetooth® sound with
your in-ear headphones, please observe the following
practical tips:
1. Set the volume to minimum on the in-ear headphones
and to maximum on the playback device.
2. Then adju the volume only on the in-ear headphones,
not on the playback device.
This applies only to playback devices that do not
automatically synchronise the volume. On playback
devices that automatically synchronise the volume
(e.g.iPhone, iPad and various Android smaphones), the
headphone volume is always identical to the volume of
the playback device.
3. Deactivate any audio eects that may be present in
the soware of the playback device.
