General Warnings
Familiarize yourself with the following general
warnings before using your SoundGateMic.
The SoundGateMic is not a toy and should be
kept away fromchildren and anyone else who
might swallow parts or otherwise cause injury
to themselves. Special attention shouldbe paid
to the smaller components in order to prevent
swallowing or choking. If a part is swallowed,
see a medical doctor immediately.

Never expose the SoundGateMic to excessive
heat, such as putting it in an oven, microwave,
burning it or leaving it inside a parked car in
the sun. There is a risk in these events that it
will explode and cause serious injury.
If by accident the neck strap should get
caught on something while the user is wearing
it, the neck strap is constructed to break
automatically. Therefore, never try to shorten
or modify the neck strap in an unauthorized way.
The neck strap should not be used for children
who weigh less than 24 lbs (11 kg).
