2. Important Information

Users should therefore not connect ‘low-impedance’ (ie: non-Aviation) headsets to the device as
damage could occur.
•Ensure that the computer volume is turned down before connecting the Aviation Headset.

achieved. High audio volumes for prolonged periods can result in hearing loss.

•Do not allow the device to come into contact with, or become immersed in, water or other liquids.
•Do not store the device in humid or dusty environments.
•Avoid using, placing or storing the device in places subject to strong sunlight or high
temperatures, such as the dashboard or trunk of a car.
•Be careful not to subject the device to strong impacts.
•Avoid placing the device in environments where it may be subjected to strong electric and/or
magnetic fields.
•Clean the device with a soft, absorbent cloth. Do not use cleaning substances containing alcohol,
benzene, thinners or other flammable substances.
