IMPORTANT SAFETY 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 ‘muffled’ 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.
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) Do not install the device close to a heat source such as a radiator, cooker,
heat vent or any other appliance (including amplifiers) that gives out heat.
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.).
15) Only connect this product to devices with a headphone output. If you are
not sure about the type of device, ask your retailer.
16) Only use accessories recommended by the manufacturer.
17) Do not obstruct any openings. Never insert any objects into the openings.
18) Do not attempt to repair this device yourself. Contact a qualified
professional for all maintenance work.
19) Do not use this device in tropical climates.
20) If the device has been transported from a cold environment to a warm
environment, make sure no condensation has accumulated before connecting
the cable.
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.
This device contains the products listed in the table, and may pose a risk of:
• suffocation (do not give the device to children less than 3 years of age);
• fire or electrocution (do not expose the device to rain or moisture, or any
other liquid).
This product contains magnetic components and generates a magnetic field
which may cause interference with pacemakers or implantable cardioverter-
defibrillators. Consult your doctor if you have any questions about the effect
these components may have on an implanted medical device.

Connecting the headphones
Each extremity of the cables has an indicator: "L" for left and

cable to the correct headphone inputs which are also labelled
"L" and "R" on the underside of the ear-pieces next to the
connectors (fig. 2).
Storage
You can store your headphones in the carrying case. You
simply have to disconnect the cable and store it in the case in
the intended compartment (fig. 3).
Care and maintenance
It is advisable to clean your headphones regularly to limit
wear and tear. To do so, we recommend using a clean, dry
lint-free cloth. After much use, wear marks may be visible on
the ear cushions. In this case, if you wish to, the ear cushions
can be replaced. Ask your local Focal retailer for replacement
parts. The ear cushions are easy to unclip by pulling them, and
to clip back into place by pushing them back onto the ear-
pieces, making sure the 5 pins are correctly in place (fig. 4).

VERVENT AUDIO
Since 2011 Focal and Naim Audio - British manufacturer
in electronics and separates system - have been united
within the Vervent Audio. We work hand-in-hand to
oer you a well-rounded and immersive listening
experience from our unique range of acoustic and

our brands would never have been able to accomplish

VERVENT AUDIO
Depuis 2011, Focal et Naim Audio - fabricant anglais
d’électronique de pointe - sont unies au sein de Vervent
Audio. Nous travaillons main dans la main pour vous orir

INNOVATION
To innovate is to seek new boundaries and break
through them. Innovation is a state of mind, one that
frees you to reach beyond the reasonable and dare to
test the seemingly impossible. Focal’s Utopia range
and Naim’s Statement amplifier symbolise this attitude.
Today, innovation goes beyond technology to influence
product usability and styling. Keeping close control
of all our processes, with manufacturing at the centre,
ensures we maximise the benefits of innovation across
Focal and Naim.
INNOVATION
Innover, c’est repousser les limites du possible. Innover
est un état d’esprit, être libre pour oser le déraisonnable,
l’impossible… Les lignes Utopia chez Focal et Statement
chez Naim en sont les symboles. Aujourd’hui, l’innovation
va au-delà des technologies, elle touche à l’esthétique
et aux usages. Et pour donner vie à l’innovation sans
entrave, il n’y avait d’autre voie pour Focal et pour Naim
que celle de maîtriser intégralement l’ensemble des
processus, à commencer par la fabrication.

MADE IN FRANCE
Speaker drivers are in the Focal DNA; they are the origins
of our business, founded on technology, engineering and
high-end materials. Men and women whose expertise
allows us to push the boundaries of sound reproduction
write the Focal story anew in France every day. We are

enables us to innovate. This has earned us the unique
recognition of being awarded French Entreprise du
Patrimoine Vivant (EPV; Living Heritage Company)
status.
FABRIQUÉ EN FRANCE
