time may cause serious damage to your hearing.

road noise is approximately 80 db).
You are strongly advised to set the volume level to
medium (the medium level is usually less than 2/3
of the maximum).
• If you feel a ringing in your ear(s), lower the volume
or stop using the earphones or headphones.
• Battery shall not be exposed to excessive heat
such as sunshine, fire or the like.
