Important Safety Instructions
WARNINGS
o Long-term exposure to loud music may
cause hearing damage. It is best to avoid
extreme volume when using headphones,
especially for extended periods.
o Sounds that you rely on as reminders or
warnings may have an unfamiliar character
when using headphones. Be aware of how
these sounds may vary in character so you
can recognize them as needed.
o Do not place any naked flame sources,
such as lighted candles, on or near the
apparatus.
o This product contains magnetic A
material. Please contact your ~
physician if you have any questions
on whether this might affect the operation of
your implantable medical device.
o DO NOT use mobile phone adapters to
connect headphones to airplane seat
jacks as this could result in personal injury
such as burns or property damage due
to overheating. Remove and disconnect
immediately if you experience warming
sensation or loss of audio.
o Do not submerge or expose for extended
period to water or wear while participating
in water sports, i.e. swimming, waterskiing,
surfing, etc.
o Do not drop, sit on or allow the headphones
to be immersed in water.
o Be sure the earcup ports are kept clear,
and that no moisture is allowed to get inside
the earcup.

Re-attaching earcup cushions
If an earcup cushion becomes detached:
1. Properly align the replacement cushion
with the earcup.
2. Tuck an edge of the ear cushion skirt into
the slot behind the ear cushion flange.
Be careful not to fold the skirt over.
3. Work the remainder of the skirt into the
slot all the way around the earcup.
4. Grasp the ear cushion and adjust its
position to remove any folds in the skirt
and wrinkles in the cushion.
Storing your headphones
The headphones feature rotating earcups
that fold flat for easy, convenient storage.
Note: Do not try to exceed the limits of the
pivots or over-rotate the earcups.
