Use Responsibly
Do
not
use
headphones
when
it's unsafe
to
do
so
-while
operating
a vehicle,
crossing streets, or during
any
activity or
in
an
environment where your full
attention
to
your surroundings
is
required.
It's
dangerous
to
drive while wearing headphones,
and
in
many
places,
illegal
because
it decreases your
chances
of
hearing life-saving sounds
outside
of
your vehicle, such
as
another
car's
horn
and
emergency
vehicle
sirens.
Please
avoid
wearing your
headphones
while driving.
Use
one
of
Monster's
FM
transmitters
to
listen
to
your mobile
media
devices instead.
Learn
how
to
establish a safe listening level
and
review other
important
safety guidelines from
the
Consumer Electronics Association

how

Cleaning and Removing Earcup Cushions

towel or disinfectant wipe, gently clean off the vinyl port of the
eorcup cushions. To complete cleaning, you may wish to use a dry
cloth to pot away any moisture left over.
A Never get the speaker or electronics inside of your Beats Pro

the electronics inside your headphones. The Beats Pro warranty
does
not cover such damage.

cushions on your Beats Pro ore mode to be removed for the purpose
of replacing damaged cushions. You may also need to remove the
cushions if atypicaL heavy cleaning needs to be done. You may

inside
of
the
cushion
and
the
earcup
as
well
as
the
