Safety
This section contains important safety instructions for using the headphones.
These headphones comply with statutory safety regulations. Improper use
may result in personal injury and property damage.
Risk of hearing damage
DANGER
Risks from extremely high volume levels!
Loud music can lead to hearing damage.
► Avoid listening to music at an extremely high volume,
especially over long periods of time, when using these
earphones.
Risk of accidents
DANGER
Risk of impaired perception!
► Acoustic warning and indication signals and ambient noise can
sound different while you are wearing these headphones. Make
yourself aware of how these signals deviate in their sound so that
you can recognise the signals in the appropriate situations.
► Do not use the headphones while driving a vehicle, riding a bicycle,
operating machinery or in any other situation in which impaired per-
ception of ambient noise could put you or other people in danger.
Please also observe the statutory provisions and regulations of the
country in which you are using the headphones.
Notes on the radio interface
Switch off the appliance if you are in an aeroplane, hospital, operating
theatre or in the vicinity of a electronic medical system. The transmitted radio
waves can affect the functionality of sensitive devices. Keep the device at
least 20 cm away from a pacemaker or implanted defibrillator, as the proper
functioning of the pacemaker or the implanted defibrillator could be affected
by radio waves. The transmitted radio waves can cause noise interference in
hearing aids. Do not use the unit in the presence of flammable gases or in a
potentially explosive atmosphere (e.g. in a paint shop) while the radio com-
ponent is activated as the transmitted radio waves can cause an explosion or
ignite a fire. The range of the radio waves is dependent on the environment
and the ambient conditions. Data transmissions via a wireless connection can
be intercepted by unauthorised third parties.
