IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
-
Read these instructions.
-
Keep these instructions.
-
Heed all warnings contained in these instructions.
-
Follow all the instructions.
-
Listening to headphones at high volumes can cause damage to the user’s ears and may lead to hearing problems (temporary or permanent deafness, buzzing in the ears, tinnitus, hyperacusis).
Exposure to excessive volumes (over 85dB) for more than one hour can cause irreparable damage to your hearing. It is therefore strongly recommended not to use the headphones at full volume, nor for more than one hour per day at medium volume. Do not use the headphones continuously, take breaks. If you experience buzzing or ringing (tinnitus) in the ears, hearing loss or a “muffled” sensation, stop listening to the headphones immediately. If symptoms persist after a few hours, consult your doctor immediately who will refer you, if necessary, to a specialist (ENT). In some cases, immediate treatment can prevent irreversible damage. -
Turn the volume of the listening device to a minimum before connecting your headphones and turning up the volume. Once the headphones are in place, gradually increase the volume to a reasonable and comfortable level.
-
Never use the headphones without earpads or protective tips.
-
Be sure to use the headphones in such a way that you can still hear sounds around you. In particular, the product’s active noise cancellation may make ambient noise inaudible or significantly change your perception of warning signals; reducing the chance of hearing ambient noise is a risk for yourself and those around you. Do not use the headphones in conditions requiring special attention, such as when outdoors in heavy traffic, near a construction site or a railway line, etc. Never drive a vehicle (car, motorcycle, boat, electric scooter, etc.) or ride a bicycle, skateboard, rollerblade, hoverboard, etc. while wearing headphones. Any use under these circumstances is dangerous and, in some countries, illegal.
-
It is also not recommended to use headphones for running, walking, or doing any other activity in crowded places. If you use the headphones under these circumstances, set the volume to low so that you can hear ambient sounds, including horns, alarms, and warning signals.
-
Please ensure that children and young people under the age of 14 are not allowed to use headphones without supervision. Be particularly vigilant with regard to children and adolescents who often use these devices at excessive volumes. Do not use the headphones for anything but their original
function. -
Never use headphones as a form of noise protection. Do not use the headphones as an aviation communications headset.
-
Use compliant adapters to connect your headphones to airplane seat plugs. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or property damage caused by overheating.
-
If you feel heat or lose your audio signal, remove and disconnect the headphones immediately.
-
Do not place burning objects near and/or on the headphones, such as lit candles, lighters, etc.
-
Do not apply any weight or pressure to the headphones for too long, including when turned off or not in use.
-
Do not expose your headphones to moisture or immerse them in water.
-
The headphones do not require specific cleaning. If necessary, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use cleaning products containing solvents.
-
) Have any repairs or servicing carried out by a professional. Such operations are necessary in the event of damage of any kind, such as liquid spillage, cable damage, exposure to rain, dropping the device, etc. Do not modify the system or its accessories. Unauthorised modifications may compromise your safety, regulatory compliance and device performance. If you replace your earpads, be sure to replace them only with the specific pad model provided by the manufacturer so as not to affect the sound quality and active noise reduction.
-

This product contains a lithium-ion battery, which should be handled with care. Lithium batteries can be dangerous if not used and handled properly. In extreme cases, abnormal use of lithium batteries can lead to:
- explosion
- fire
- release of heat
- release of smoke or gas.
-
Caution, do not open the device. It is forbidden to disassemble, open, pierce, or perform any other action on the battery on your own. Caution, there is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replacing and/or removing the battery from your Focal product must be carried out by a professional. The battery must be replaced by a battery identical to the original one and obtained from a Focal dealer.
Focal cannot guarantee the safety or compatibility of batteries from other manufacturers, or that they will function properly with the device. Do not short-circuit the (+) and (-) terminals of the battery with conductive elements (in contact with metallic objects in particular), or by any other means. Do not reverse the polarities. Do not place burning objects near and/or on the headphones’ built-in battery. In general, the battery should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or similar (above 70°C) and/or humidity above 90%. Do not expose the battery and charger to water (do not immerse, pour liquid on them, expose to condensation or get wet).
Do not expose to rain. Never use a damaged battery. Do not subject the battery to impacts or vibrations. In the event of a severe impact, stop using the battery. Do not destroy or incinerate the battery. Exposure to internal battery components or the products released when burned can be hazardous. If you have been exposed, contact your GP. If, during use, the battery gives off an unusual odor or becomes abnormally hot or warped, switch off the device immediately and contact your Focal dealer. Only use this product with a certified Limited Power Supply (LPS) that meets local regulatory requirements (e.g. UL, CSA, VDE, CCC & CE). Only charge the battery at an ambient temperature between 0°C and 45°C.
Never charge a swollen, leaking or otherwise damaged battery. Never use a modified or damaged charger. Only charge the battery on non-flammable surfaces (do not charge it on a flammable surface such as carpet or wooden floors) and do not charge it near flammable materials. Charge the battery on a non- conductive surface to prevent any damage associated in particular with a short circuit. Keep the battery and charger out of the reach of children under 14 years old. Do not use the headphones while the battery is charging. Any battery (original or replacement) should not be exposed to heat such as sunshine, fire or similar
OPTIMAL CONDITIONS FOR BATTERY USE
For your headphones’ battery to retain optimal autonomy, and in the event of prolonged non-use, recharge it regularly and at least once every three months or so. Turn off battery-powered products when not in use. For optimal use, do not use headphones with a battery in places subject to excessive heat (above 40°C) or excessive cold (below -5°C). In the event of a problem, contact your specialist dealer.
- The replacement of a battery with an incorrect type can defeat a safeguard (for example, in the case of some lithium battery types);
- the disposal of a battery into fire or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting of a battery can result in an explosion;
- leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature surrounding environment can result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas;
- a battery subjected to extremely low air pressure may result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
