Thank You
Thank you for purchasing the Hisense HB650 Bluetooth®
Speaker. We hope you enjoy it! This instruction manual will
get you started and ready to make the most of your speaker.
WARNING!
Speakerphones are capable of delivering sounds at
loud volumes and high pitched tones. Exposure to such
sounds can result in permanent hearing loss damage.
The volume level may vary based on conditions such
as the phone you are using, its reception and volume
settings, and the environment. Please read the safety
guidelines below prior to using this Speaker.
Safety Guidelines
Prior to using this product follow these steps:
1. Before using the speakerphone, turn the volume
control to its lowest level, use the speakerphone
in conversation, and then slowly adjust the volume
control to a comfortable level.
2. During the use of this product:
Keep the volume at the lowest level possible and
avoid using the speakerphone in noisy environments
where you may be inclined to turn up the volume;
If increased volume is necessary, adjust the volume
control slowly; and if you experience any discomfort

or ringing in your ears, immediately discontinue
using the speakerphone and consult a physician.
With continued use at high volume, your ears may
become accustomed to the sound level, which may
result in permanent damage to your hearing without
any noticeable discomfort.
3. Drive Safely
Several studies have shown that cell phone usage
while driving creates a distraction to the driver which
may increase the likelihood of an accident. This
distraction potential is not eliminated by the use
of a handsfree phone. Handsfree phones have not
been shown to be safer than hand-held phones with
respect to driver distraction. When using the phone
while driving, keep conversations short and resist
any temptation to make notes or read documents.
Before answering calls consider your circumstances.
Pull off the road and park before making or answering
calls when driving conditions require (e.g.bad weather,
high traffic density, presence of children in the car,
difficult junctions or maneuvers)
REMEMBER; DRIVING COMES FIRST, NOT THE CALL!
4. Abide by Local Laws.
Please check if the local laws where you live restrict
the use of mobile phones while driving. It is the
owner’s responsibility to use this product in
compliance with the laws of the place where you live.
WARNING!
Keep out of reach of children: The plastic bags the product
and its parts are wrapped in are not toys for children. The
bags themselves or the many small parts they contain may
cause choking if ingested.
WARNING!
Ignition of flammable atmospheres: Do not use the
Speaker in environments where there is a danger of
ignition of flammable gases.
