Additional Warnings

Additional Warnings & Safety Information

  • Permanent hearing loss may result from long-term exposure to sound at high volumes.
  • Use as low a volume as possible. Speakers are capable of delivering loud and high-pitched sounds at high volumes.
  • Under certain circumstances, exposure to such sounds can result in permanent hearing loss damage.
  • The volume level may vary, based on conditions such as the smartphone, tablet or you are using and volume settings. Avoid prolonged use of the speaker at excessive sound levels.

  • Turn the volume control to its lowest level when connecting the speaker, and then slowly adjust the volume control to a comfortable level.
  • Keep the volume at the lowest level possible.
  • If increased volume is necessary, adjust the volume control slowly.
  • If you experience discomfort or ringing in your ears, immediately discontinue using the speaker.
  • With continued use at a high volume, your ears may become accustomed to the sound level, which may result in permanent damage to your hearing without any noticeable discomfort.
  • The use of a speaker will impair your ability to hear other sounds.
  • Use caution while using your speaker when you are engaging in any activity that requires your full attention.
    • IMPORTANT: Always drive safely, avoid distractions, and follow local laws!

Glossary

  • Bluetooth
    • An open wireless protocol for exchanging data over short distances from fixed and mobile Devices, such as mobile phones and headsets.
    • It is primarily designed for low power consumption, with a short range (power-class-dependent: 1 meter, 10 meters, and 100 meters) based on low-cost transceiver microchips in each Device.
    • Bluetooth wireless technology makes it possible for these devices to communicate with each other when they are in range.
    • Because the devices use a radio (broadcast) communications system, they do not have to be in the line of sight of each other.
  • Emergency Contacts
    • The custom contact information is stored inside the Silent Beacon Application. There are various settings that allow you different methods of alerting each contact.
    • Firmware The software that is embedded in the Silent Beacon. This can be updated via the Applications Firmware Update which delivers this over the air to the Silent Beacon.
    • LED Short for Light-Emitting Diode. These are the lights that flash on the Silent Beacon.
  • Pairing / Unpaired
    • Creates a unique and encrypted link between two Bluetooth Devices and enables them to communicate with each other.
    • Bluetooth Devices will not communicate if they have not been paired. “Unpaired” stops the communication between the Device and the Bluetooth Host.
