**FACTORY RESET***

mode. Simultaneously hold the multi-function button and power button until LED
lights flash red/white. The headphones will then be reset.
MAINTENANCE
Clean ear pads and headphones with soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not soak,
submerge or allow moisture to enter near the drivers or cable jacks. Ear pads
and cables can be purchased if they are worn out at:
www.masterdynamic.com
Do not drop, sit on, or allow the headphones to be exposed to water, moisture,
or temperature extremes.
It is recommended that you return your headphones to their storage pouch when
not in use. To avoid damage, do not store other items in the canvas case along
with your headphones. CAUTION: Incorrectly rotating or over rotating the
earcups can damage the headphones.
Temperature Range Operate and store this product within the temperature range
of -4°F to 113°F (-20°C to 45°C) only. Charge the battery where the
temperature is between 41°F and 104°F (5°C and 40°C) only.
*Over time, your headphones will accumulate a list of devices and may take longer to pair than anticipated. A factory reset can help speed up this process by forgetting the list of previously connected devices.
PREVENTION OF NOISE-INDUCED HEARING LOSS
Our ability to hear is amazing. Treat your ears like the precious tools they
are, and they will continue to provide you with exceptional data, as well as a
lifetime of incredible sonic experiences.
In general, do not listen “too loud or for too long,” and be attentive to your
own ears. Ringing, discomfort, or sensitivity to high frequencies and treble
may be a signal from your ears that you are pushing them to their limits and
causing irreparable damage.
As a general practice, find what seems to be your preferred listening level
and then adjust the volume down another 10% or more. Surprisingly, your ears
will attune to a slightly lower volume over time, and what seems quiet at
first can be perfect for longer listening periods.
NIHL is a preventable condition caused by both one-time and extended exposure
to excessive decibel (dB) levels. This harm to sensitive inner ear structures
is irreversible and people of all ages can be affected. Damage can happen in a
single event or gradually over time. One-time exposure to sounds louder than
110 decibels and extended exposure to sounds over 85 decibels can cause harm.
Indicators of NIHL include hearing loss and tinnitus, a condition of sensing
constant ringing, buzzing or roaring. The NIDCD (National Institute on
Deafness and Other Communication Disorders) offers this simple rule of thumb:
avoid sound exposure that is “too loud, too close or too long.” Here are some
general references to sound levels that occur in everyday life: refrigerator
humming (45 dB); normal conversation (60 dB); city traffic (85 dB);
motorcycles (95 dB); an MP3 player at full volume (105 dB); sirens (120 dB);
firecrackers (150 dB).
