Important safety and handling information
Plastic bag notice
Danger: Plastic bags can be dangerous. Keep plastic bags away from babies and
children to avoid danger of suocation.
Caution about high volume usage
Warning: Exposure to loud noise from any source for extended periods of time
may aect your hearing. The louder the sound, the less time is required before your
hearing could be aected. To protect your hearing:
• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or headphones at high volume.
• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
• Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.
If you experience hearing discomfort, including the sensation of pressure or fullness
in your ears, ringing in your ears or mued speech, you should stop listening to the
device through your headset or headphones and have your hearing checked.
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long
periods.

caution his or her child about the potential hazard while using and handling the

Internal rechargeable battery warning
Danger: Do not attempt to replace the internal rechargeable lithium ion battery.
Replacing the original battery with an incompatible type may result in an increased
risk of personal injury or property damage due to explosion, excessive heat, or other
risks. Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery pack. Attempting to do
so can cause a harmful explosion or battery fluid leakage.
When disposing of the battery, comply with all relevant local ordinances or
regulations. Do not dispose the battery pack in municipal waste. Dispose used
batteries according to the instructions.
The battery pack contains a small amount of harmful substances.
To avoid injury:
• Keep the battery pack away from open flames or other heat sources.
• Do not expose the battery pack to water, rain, or other corrosive liquids.
• Do not leave the battery in an environment with extremely high temperature.
• Avoid short-circuiting the battery pack.
• Keep the battery pack out of reach of small children and pets.
• Do not leave the battery in an environment with extremely low air pressure.
It may result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas from the

capacity each time, and recharging it every three months to prevent over discharge.
