Operating Instructions
We recommend thoroughly reading all the instructions in this manual, and that you keep it somewhere
safe for future reference.
Important safety precautions
1) READ these instructions.
2) KEEP these instructions.
3) RESPECT all the warnings.
4) FOLLOW all the instructions.
5) In order to avoid damaging your hearing, do not listen to headphones at high volumes for extended
periods of time.
Listening to a portable stereo at high volumes can cause damage to the user’s ears and may lead to
hearing problems (temporary or permanent deafness, buzzing in the ears, tinnitus, hyperacusis).
It is strongly advised not to listen to a portable stereo at full volume or for more than one hour per
day at an average volume.
Don’t use the headphones continuously, take frequent breaks. Pay particular attention to children and
teenagers who use these devices at a younger age and often at excessive volume.
6) If you begin to hear buzzing or ringing in the ears (tinnitus), experience a loss of hearing or
‘mued’ hearing, stop using the headphones immediately. If the symptoms continue after a few
hours, consult an ENT doctor immediately. In some cases, immediate treatment may avoid permanent
hearing problems.
Exposure to excessive volumes (over 85dB) for more than one hour can cause irreparable damage
to your hearing.
7) Set the volume to minimum before connecting your Focal headphones, then turn up the volume.
Once the headphones are in place, gradually increase the volume to a comfortable and reasonable
level. Always use the headphones with the protective ear cushions or tips.
8) NEVER drive a vehicle (car, motorbike, boat...) or ride a bike while wearing the
headphones. Not only is this behaviour dangerous, it is also illegal. In some countries, a
breach of the highway code for driving without due care and attention (if the driver’s
concentration is reduced in any way) may result in a penalty.
We advise against wearing the headphones while riding a bike, running, walking or
carrying out any other activities in busy places. If you do wear the headphones in such places,set to a
low volume so you can hear surrounding noises, including horns, alarms and warning signals.
Generally speaking, reducing your chances of hearing surrounding noises poses a threat to yourself
and to others.

(CEI 60417-6044)

9) NEVER use the headphones as ear defenders.
10) If you feel the headphones heat up or if there is a loss of the audio signal, remove the headphones
and disconnect immediately.
11) Never place the headphones in contact with or near to naked flames such as candles, lighters, etc.
12) Never leave your headphones exposed to humidity and never submerge them in water.
13) The headphones do not require any particular cleaning. If necessary, clean with a dry, soft duster.
Do not use cleaning products containing solvents.
14) Entrust any repairs or maintenance to a qualified professional. Repair or maintenance may be
required in case of any kind of damage (spillages, damaged cable, exposure to rain, if the device is
dropped etc.).
Do not make any modifications to the system or to the accessories. Any unauthorised modifications
may put you in danger, be illegal or reduce the performance of the device.
