Important safety and handling information

Plastic bag notice
Danger: Plastic bags can be dangerous. Keep plastic bags away from babies and children to avoid danger of suffocation.

Caution about high volume usage

Warning: Exposure to loud noise from any source for extended periods of time may affect your hearing. The louder the sound, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected. To protect your hearing:

Limit the amount of time you use headsets or headphones at high volume.
Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you. If you experience hearing discomfort, including the sensation of pressure or fullness in your ears, ringing in your ears or muffled speech, you should stop listening to the device through your headset or headphones and have your hearing checked.

To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods.

Safety instructions for parents and adult supervisors

Your mobile device is not a toy. As with all electrical products, precautions should be observed during handling and using of electrical products to reduce the risk of
electric shock. If parents choose to allow children to use the device, they should caution his or her child about the potential hazard while using and handling the
mobile device. Parents should inspect the mobile device (including the ac power adapter and the small part, as applicable) periodically for damage. Routinely check this mobile
device to ensure that the device is working properly and is safe for children to use.

Internal rechargeable battery warning

Danger: Do not attempt to replace the internal rechargeable lithium ion battery. Replacing the original battery with an incompatible type may result in an increased risk of personal injury or property damage due to explosion, excessive heat, or other risks. Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery pack. Attempting to do
so can cause a harmful explosion or battery fluid leakage. When disposing of the battery, comply with all relevant local ordinances or regulations. Do not dispose the battery pack in municipal waste. Dispose used batteries according to the instructions. The battery pack contains a small amount of harmful substances. To avoid injury:

Keep the battery pack away from open flames or other heat sources.
Do not expose the battery pack to water, rain, or other corrosive liquids.
Do not leave the battery in an environment with extremely high temperature.
Avoid short-circuiting the battery pack.
Keep the battery pack out of reach of small children and pets.
Do not leave the battery in an environment with extremely low air pressure. It may result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas from the battery.

To extend battery life, we recommend charging the battery to at least 30% to 50% capacity each time, and recharging it every three months to prevent over discharge.
