ture, on underdimen-
sioned brackets etc. The

• Motiv Go
CAUTION
Extended listening
at high volumes may
lead to hearing loss.
To avoid damage to health,
avoid extended listening at
high volumes.
–When the volume is
set high, always keep a
certain distance from the
device and never place
your ears directly on the
speaker.
–If a speaker is set to full
volume, this may produce
very high sound pressure.
This may have psycholog-
ical consequences and
also cause physical injury.
Children and pets are
particularly at risk. Set
your signal source device
volume control to a low
setting before turning on
the power.
CAUTION
This product contains
magnetic material.
–If necessary, consult
your physician and ask
for effects on implants
such as pacemakers or
defibrillators.

10 • Motiv Go
NOTICE
The Motiv Go is protected
against water jets (IPX5).
–The jet water protec-
tion according to IPX5
is only effective if the
cover cap (15) is firmly
closed.
–Normal rain and a few
splashes from showering
won’t cause any damage,
but you should avoid
spraying it directly with a
hose.
–If the Motiv Go falls into
a rain puddle or an other
flat water body, nothing
will happen if you recover
it right away. However,
the device is not suit-
able for a splashdown or
diving!
–You should generally
avoid contact with salt
water.
NOTICE
Gross misuse and incor-
rect care are the main
reasons for damage
to high-performance
rechargeable batteries.
–Avoid deep discharge of
under 10 % for optimal
rechargeable battery
power.
–Recharge your recharge-
able battery frequently.
–Store your rechargeable
battery in a cool but
frost-free area, ideally at
15 °C. Higher tempera-
tures result in a higher
rate of self-discharge
and shorten the intervals
between charges.
–Do not expose the
rechargeable battery to
direct sunlight or other
sources of heat.
This applies in particular
when charging the battery.

11
• Motiv Go
–A deep discharge
damages the recharge-
able battery cells. The
most frequent cause
of deep discharge is
prolonged storage or
failure to use a partially
discharged rechargeable
battery. Only store the
rechargeable battery
once it is fully charged.
Old devices must not
be disposed of with
household waste!
If the Motiv Go is no
longer operational, every
consumer is required by law
to dispose of used devices
separately from household
waste, e.g. at a collection
point run by the communal
authority/borough. This
ensures that old devices are
recycled in a professional
manner and also rules out
negative consequences for
the environment.
For this reason, electrical
equipment is marked with
the adjacent symbol.
