Safety
AVOID HEARING DAMAGE
SAFE USE
SAFE BATTERY HANDLING
SAFE DISPOSAL
Your PocketDISH respects the current regulations for limiting the output volume of consumer audio
devices to a safe level while using the headphones 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 headphones or ear buds while you drive. The use of headphones or ear buds can be
disruptive or distracting when you have to pay attention. Therefore the use of headphones 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 headphones or ear buds is considered to be illegal.
•Never leave loose Li-Ion batteries in a hot environment like your car.
•Do not put loose Li-Ion batteries in a pocket, bag, or drawer where they could short-circuit against
other items. Prevent battery tabs for short circuit.
•Do not place loose Li-Ion batteries on any conductive surface, such as a metal-topped table.
•Keep loose Li-Ion batteries WELL out of reach of children and pets!
•Only buy original replacement or extra batteries.
Your PocketDISH has a rechargeable Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. Dispose of the PocketDISH and its
batteries in accordance with local regulations. Make sure the Li-Ion battery is fully discharged before
disposal to avoid the possibility of a short-induced fire after disposal.
