Important safety instructions
In order to prevent hearing damage:
왘Set the volume to a low level before

왘Listening at high volume levels for long
periods can lead to permanent hearing
defects. Please protect your hearing!
In order to prevent injury to your auditory
canals and ear drums:
왘Mount the suitable earpads (S, M or L) to
the ear canal phones. Never insert the
ear canal phones without earpads!
