Safety instructions

Thank you for your trust and for purchasing the ULTRASONE ISAR Hybrid ANC Bluetooth® headphones. For your best possible listening experience, we would like to provide you with a comprehensive description of how you can use the ULTRASONE ISAR.

• The company ULTRASONE AG assumes no liability for damage to the product or injuries to persons due to careless, improper, incorrect use of the product or use of the product that does not correspond to the purpose specified by the manufacturer.

Avoid health hazards and accidents

• When using the headphones, make sure the volume is set to minimum. Do not adjust the volume until you have put the handset down. To avoid possible hearing damage, do not use your headphones at high volume levels for long periods of time.
• We would like to point out that excessive volume levels and excessive listening times can damage hearing. Hearing damage always represents an irreversible impairment of hearing.
• If you suffer from tinnitus, turn down the volume.
• Always make sure that the volume is appropriate. It is recommended not to use the headphones at high volume for a long time.
• Keep small parts such as product, packaging and accessories away from children and pets. Accidental swallowing may result in suffocation.
• Headphones drastically reduce the acoustic perception of the outside world. The use of headphones in traffic poses a great risk potential. The user‘s hearing must not be impaired to such an extent that road safety is endangered. Please also make sure that you do not use the headphones in the action area of potentially dangerous machines and work equipment.
• Also, avoid using headphones in situations where hearing impairment is important, especially when crossing a level crossing or at a construction site.

ANC function (Active Noise Cancellation)

• Active noise cancellation (ANC) blocks outside noise.
• Never use the active noise canceling (ANC) headphones in situations where hearing impairment is im-portant and could pose a risk to yourself or others, e.g. B. driving a car, riding a bicycle, crossing a railway crossing or walking near traffic.
• Take off the headphones or use them without noise canceling and adjust the volume to make sure you can hear outside sounds like alarms and warning signals.
• Note that sounds such as alarms or warning signals may sound different when wearing headphones.
