Important Safety Information:
1. Avoiding water and wet locations
Do not use the product in rain, or near washbasins or other wet locations. Take care
not to spill any food or liquid into the product. In case the product gets wet, unplug all
cables, turn it off and allow it to dry thoroughly before turning it on again.
2. Avoid hearing damage
Permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones are used at high volume. Set the
volume to a safe level. You can adapt over time to a higher volume of sound that may
sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing. If you experience ringing in your
ears of mufed speech, stop listening and have your hearing checked. The louder the
volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected. Hearing experts
suggest that to protect your hearing:
- limit the amount of time you use earphones at high volume
- avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings
- turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you
