1 Important safety
instructions
Hearing safety
Danger
 To avoid hearing damage, limit the time you use
earphones at high volume and set the volume to a
safe level. The louder the volume, the shorter the safe
listening time is.
Be sure to observe the following guidelines when
using your earpieces:
• Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable
periods of time.
• Be careful not to adjust the volume
continuously upwards as your hearing
adapts.
• Do not turn up the volume so high that you
cannot hear what is around you.
• You should use caution or temporarily
discontinue use in potentially hazardous
situations.
• Excessive sound pressure from earphones
can cause hearing loss.
• Using earphones with both ears covered
while driving is not recommended and may
be illegal in some areas.
• For your safety, avoid distractions from
music or phone calls while in trac or other
potentially dangerous environments.
General information
To avoid damage or malfunction:
Caution
• Do not expose earphones to excessive heat.
• Do not drop your earphones.
• Earphones shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.
(Refer to the IP rating of specic product.)
• Do not allow your earphones to be submerged in water.
• Do not use any cleaning agents containing alcohol,
ammonia, benzene or abrasives.
• If cleaning is required, use a so cloth, if necessary
dampened with a minimum amount of water or diluted
mild soap, to clean the product.
• The integrated battery shall not be exposed to
excessive heat such as sunshine, re or the like.
• Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
• Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
• Disposal of a battery into re or a hot oven, or
mechanically crushing or cutting a battery, can result in
an explosion.
• Leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature
surrounding environment can result in an explosion or
the leakage of ammable liquid or gas.
• A battery subjected to extremely low air pressure may
result in an explosion or the leakage of ammable liquid
or gas.
Operating and storage temperatures and
humidity:
• Store in a place where the temperature is
between -20°C (-4°F) and 50°C (122 °F)
with up to 90% relative humidity.
• Operate in a place where the temperature
is between 0°C (32°F) and 45°C (113 °F)
with up to 90% relative humidity.
• Battery life may be shorter in high or low
temperature conditions.
• Replacement of a battery with an incorrect
type risks severely damaging the
earphones and the battery (for example, in
the case of some lithium battery types).
