Safety
This section contains important safety instructions for using the headphones. These head-
phones comply with statutory safety regulations. Improper use may result in personal injury
and property damage.
Risk of hearing damage
CAUTION
Danger due to excessive volume!
Loud music can lead to hearing damage.
► Take care when using these headphones. Using headphones for long periods and at
high volume levels can lead to hearing damage. Always start by setting a low volume
and then adjust it to a comfortable level. Always use headphones in such a way that
you can still hear ambient noise.
Risk of accidents
WARNING
Risk of impaired perception!
► Acoustic warning and indication signals and ambient noise can sound different while
you are wearing these headphones. Make sure you are aware of how these signals
deviate in their sound so that you can recognise the signals in the appropriate situa-
tions.
► Do not use the headphones while driving a vehicle, riding a bicycle, operating ma-
chinery or in any other situation in which impaired perception 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
ŶSwitch off the device 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.
ŶKeep 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.

■ 6 │ GB│IE SKHO 50 B2
ŶThe transmitted radio waves can cause noise interference in hearing aids.Do not use
the unit with the radio components switched on in the presence of flammable gases or
in a potentially explosive atmosphere (e.g. in a paint shop), as the transmitted radio
waves can cause an explosion or ignite a fire.
ŶThe range of the radio waves is dependent on the environment and the ambient condi-
tions.
ŶData transmissions via a wireless connection can be intercepted by unauthorised third
parties.
Basic safety instructions
To ensure safe operation of the headphones, follow the safety guidelines set out below:
ŶCheck the headphones for visible external damage before use. Do not operate dam-
aged headphones or headphones that have been dropped.
ŶProtect the cables against damage, for example caused by sharp edges, hot areas,
clamping or crushing.
ŶIf the cables or connections are damaged, have them replaced by authorised special-
ists or Customer Service.
ŶThis device may be used by children aged 8 years and above and by persons with
limited physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
provided that they are under supervision or have been told how to use the device safe-
ly and are aware of the potential risks. Do not allow children to play with the device.
Cleaning and user maintenance tasks may not be carried out by children unless they
are supervised.
ŶDANGER! Do not allow children to play with the packaging material! Keep all
packaging materials away from children.
