Safety information

General information

• READ this user manual.
• KEEP this user manual.
• FOLLOW the operating and safety instructions listed there.

Disclaimer

• The company Beyerdynamic GmbH & Co. KG accepts no liability for damage to the product or injury to persons caused by careless, improper, incorrect use of the product, or use for purposes not specified by the manufacturer.

Troubleshooting/repair

• Do not attempt to open the device.
• Leave all servicing to authorized and qualified personnel only.

Cleaning

• Clean the device only with a slightly damp or dry cloth. Never use solvents, since these may damage the surface.

Batteries

• The Phonum device is operated with the following type of rechargeable battery: lithium-ion
• High temperatures, especially at a high charge level, lead to irreversible damage.
• If you should not use the battery for a longer period of time, or if you wish to store it, it is advisable to reduce the battery to approximately 50% of the rated charge and to store it at temperatures of up to a maximum of 20°C.
• For transportation on land, water and by air, the battery pack used was tested according to the UN 38.3 transport regulations for the transportation of lithium batteries.
• Never take the batteries apart. The acid in the batteries causes damage to the skin and clothing.
• In the event of misuse or improper use, the batteries may leak. In extreme cases, there is a risk of explosion, generation of heat, fire, smoke or fumes.
• Never expose batteries to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
• Do not expose the battery to any mechanical shock.
• Charge the battery before using it for the first time.
• The battery should only be charged with the charger provided.
• Avoid deep discharge of the battery. The batteries may be damaged and the life cycle of the batteries may be shortened.
• If battery-powered devices are not used for an extended period of time (e.g. 1 year), this may speed up the self-discharging of the battery. For long-term storage, the temperature should be between +10 °C and +30 °C.
• If you do not use the device for several months, you should charge the batteries at least twice per year in order to prevent a deterioration in performance due to self-discharging.
• Do not short-circuit the battery.

Damp/heat sources

• Keep the battery clean and dry. Never expose your device to rain or high humidity. It should therefore not be installed in the immediate vicinity of swimming pools, shower facilities, wet basements or other areas with exceptionally high air humidity.
• Never place objects filled with liquids (e.g. vases or drinking glasses) on the device. The liquid in the devices can cause a short circuit.
• Never install or operate the device in the immediate vicinity of radiators, lighting equipment or other heat-generating devices.
• If you have used the device in a cold environment and then bring it into a warm environment, condensation may form in the housing. Wait for at least 2 hours before putting the device into operation again.
