SAFE USE
SAFE DISPOSAL
Your PocketDISH respects the current regulations for limiting the output volume of consumer audio
devices to a safe level while using the headset that came with the PocketDISH. Permanent damage to
your ears will occur if headphones or ear buds are used at a high volume level. Over time you might get
used to a higher volume level that may sound normal, but the risk of permanent damage to your ears is
still present. Set the volume level of your PocketDISH to a safe level before permanent damage to your
ears has occurred. If you start to hear ringing in your ears, reduce the volume level or stop using the
headphones or ear buds.
Do not use headsets or ear buds while you drive. The use of headsets or ear buds can be disruptive or
distracting when you have to pay attention. Therefore the use of headsets or ear buds is not
recommended while you drive or even if you are just a pedestrian. Please note that in some areas the
use of headsets or ear buds is considered to be illegal.
Your PocketDISH has a rechargeable Lithium Polymer (LiPo) battery. Dispose of the PocketDISH and
it’s batteries in accordance with local regulations. Make sure the LiPo battery is fully discharged before
disposal to avoid the possibility of a short-induced fire after disposal.
