IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
English
Warning symbol. This symbol is designed to warn the user of the presence
of important instructions mentioned in the user manual and relating to the
handling, operation and maintenance of the device.
Before using the product, read the
instructions and keep them carefully
for future reference if required.
1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings contained in
these instructions.
4) Follow all the instructions.
5) Listening to high powered
headphones can damage the ears and
lead to hearing problems (temporary
or permanent deafness, ringing in the
ears, tinnitus, hyperacusis).
(CEI 60417-6044)
Exposure to excessive
volumes (over 85 dB) for
more than one hour
can cause irreparable
damage to your hearing.
The headphones must, therefore, be
turned on before wearing them and
we strongly advise against using the
headphones at full volume, nor for
more than one hour a day at medium
volume.
Do not use the headphones
continuously; take regular breaks.
If you experience buzzing or ringing
(tinnitus) in the ears, hearing loss or
a “mued” sensation, stop listening
to the headphones immediately. If
symptoms persist after a few hours,
consult your doctor immediately who
will, if necessary, refer you to an ENT
specialist. In some cases, immediate
treatment can prevent irreversible
damage.
6) Always turn on the headphones
before wearing them, set the listening
device’s volume to the lowest setting
before connecting your headphones
and increasing the volume. Once the
headphones are in place, gradually
increase the volume to a reasonable
and comfortable level.
7) Never use the headphones without
the earpads or protective tips.
8) Be sure to use the headphones
in such a way that you can still hear
sounds around you. In particular, the
product’s active noise cancellation
may make ambient noise inaudible or
significantly change your perception
of warning signals; reducing the
chance of hearing ambient noise is a
risk for yourself and those around you.
Do not use the headphones in
conditions requiring special attention,
such as when outdoors in heavy
trac, near a construction site or a
railway line, etc.
Never drive a vehicle (car, motorcycle,
boat, electric scooter, etc.) or ride
a bicycle, skateboard, roller blades,
hoverboard, etc. while wearing the
headphones.
Any use under these circumstances
is dangerous and, in some countries,
illegal.
9) It is also not recommended to use
the headphones for running, walking
or doing any other activity in crowded
places. If you use the headphones
under these circumstances, set the
volume to low so that you can hear
ambient sounds, including horns,
alarms and warning signals.
10) Please ensure that children and
young people under the age of 14 are
not allowed to use the headphones
without supervision. Be particularly
vigilant with regard to children and
adolescents who often use these
devices at excessive volumes.
11) Do not use the headphones for
anything but their original function.
Never use headphones as a form
of noise protection. Do not use
the headphones as an aviation
communications headset.
12) Use compliant adapters to connect
your headphones to aeroplane seat
plugs. Failure to do so may result in
personal injury or property damage
caused by overheating.
13) If you feel heat or lose audio
signal, remove and disconnect the
headphones immediately.
14) Do not place burning objects near
and/or on the headphones, such as lit
candles, lighters, etc.
15) Do not apply any weight or
pressure to the headphones for too
long, including when turned o or
not in use.
16) Do not expose your headphones
to moisture or immerse them in water.
17) The headphones do not require
specific cleaning. If necessary, use a
soft, dry cloth. Do not use cleaning
products containing solvents.
18) Have any repairs or servicing
carried out by a professional. Such
operations are necessary in the event
of damage of any kind, such as liquid
spillage, cable damage, exposure to
rain, dropping the device, etc.
Do not modify the system or
its accessories. Unauthorised
modifications may compromise your
safety, regulatory compliance and
device performance.
If you replace your earpads, be
sure to replace them only with the
specific pad model provided by the
manufacturer so as not to aect
the sound quality and active noise
reduction.
19) This product poses risks of:
• choking;
• fire or electrocution (do not expose
the device to rain or moisture, or any
other liquid).
20) This product contains magnetic
components and generates
magnetic fields which may interfere
with pacemakers and implanted
defibrillators. Before using the
headphones, contact your GP if you
have any questions regarding the
eect of these components on the
functioning of an implanted medical
device.
21) This product
complies with
all applicable
European
regulations and directives. This symbol
means that the product (including its
battery if applicable) must not be
thrown away with household waste
but must be taken to an appropriate
collection centre for recycling. Proper
disposal and recycling helps protect

recycling of this product, contact your
local council, your waste collection
service or the store where you

22) This product contains
a lithium-ion battery,
which should be
handled with care.
Lithium batteries can be dangerous if
not used and handled properly. In
extreme cases, abnormal use of
lithium batteries can lead to:
• explosion
• fire
• release of heat
• release of smoke or gas.
23) Caution, do not open the device.
