IMPORTANT NOTES

Power Supply: Use of Batteries

This product is equipped with a lithium-ion battery.
Even if you do not use this product for an extended period of time, you should charge it once every three months to prevent the internal lithium-ion battery from degrading.
The ambient temperature range during charging 5–35°C However, in order to take full advantage of the rechargeable lithium-ion battery’s performance, we recommend that you charge it in a temperature range of 10–30°C.
To charge this unit, use a commercially available USB power adaptor (5 V, 500 mA or higher). This unit might malfunction if you charge it using a USB power adaptor that has rapid-charge functionality (which outputs a voltage greater than 5 V), so do not use this type of USB power adaptor.
If you need to dispose of this product, do not simply discard it with your household waste; if the internal lithium-ion battery becomes unusable, you should dispose of it in compliance with local regulations.
This unit contains a lithium-ion battery. When disposing of this unit, please observe the regulations applicable to your locality. Never remove the lithium-ion battery. Doing so may cause bursting or fire.

Placement

This unit may interfere with radio and television reception. Do not use this unit in the vicinity of such receivers.
Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.
When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.

Listen Safely

Enjoy music in moderation. According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, “Use of headphones for an extended time at high volume might cause lifelong hearing impairment.” Although V-MODA makes an effort to provide an enjoyable listening experience, it is also concerned with the health and safety of its customers. We recommend that you use headphones for appropriate lengths of time at an appropriate volume.
The following noise exposure chart was developed by the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration and will be helpful in determining volume and duration for safe listening.

Sound Level dBA	Maximum Listening Duration
90	8 hrs
92	6 hrs
95	3 hrs
100	2 hrs
102	1 ½ hrs
105	1 hr
110	½ hr
115	¼ hr or less

Be aware of your surroundings

Do not use headphones while engaged in activities such as driving, cycling, or jogging on a public road. Some localities have laws that prohibit such activity. Obey the laws applicable to your area, pay attention to your surroundings, and exercise moderation when listening to music.

Static electricity

If you use this unit in conditions where the air is extremely dry, you might notice slight discomfort in your ears. This is due to an accumulation of static electricity in your body and is not a malfunction of headphones. By wearing clothing made of natural fibers, you can minimize the effect of static electricity.
