1 Important safety instructions
Hearing safety
Danger
To avoid hearing damage, limit the time you use headphones at high volume and set the volume to a safe level. The louder the volume, the shorter the safe listening time is.
Be sure to observe the following guidelines when using your headphones. · Listen at reasonable volumes for
reasonable periods of time. · Be careful not to adjust the volume
continuously upwards as your hearing adapts. · Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you. · You should use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations. · Excessive sound pressure from earpieces and headphones can cause hearing loss. · Using headphones with both ears covered while driving is not recommended and may be illegal in some areas. · For your safety, avoid distractions from music or phone calls while in traffic or other potentially dangerous environments.

General information
To avoid damage or malfunction:
Caution
Do not expose headphones to excessive heat. Do not drop your headphones. Headphones shall not be exposed to dripping
or splashing. (Refer to the IP rating of specic product) Do not allow your headphones to be submerged in water. Do not charge your headphones when the connector or socket is wet. Do not use any cleaning agents containing alcohol, ammonia, benzene, or abrasives. Use a clean, damp cloth to clean your headphones – especially the sound conduits and the microphone holes – regularly and avoid buildup of substances such as sweat or earwax. If any sweat or water droplets are left in the sound conduits, air holes or microphone holes, the sound level will temporarily drop or cut out entirely. This is not a malfunction. Use a soft, damp cloth to dry the headphones thoroughly. Alternatively, remove the earbud tips, turn the sound conduits downward and gently tap the headphones about ve times on a dry cloth or similar to remove any water collected inside. Be sure the headphones are completely dry before charging and using. Avoid using disposable alcohol pads or other substances for cleaning. The integrated battery shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, re or the like. Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type. To achieve the specic IP rating, the charging slot cover must be closed. Disposal of a battery into re or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting 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 ammable liquid or gas. A battery subjected to extremely low air pressure may result in an explosion or the leakage of ammable liquid or gas. Replacement of a battery with an incorrect type risks severely damaging the headphones and the battery (for example, in the case of some lithium battery types). If the headset is not used for a long time, the rechargeable battery will begin to lose its charge. To avoid this loss, please fully charge the battery at least once every three months.

To avoid risk of re, the equipment is supplied only by external power source which output shall comply with PS1 (with output capacity less than 15W).
Operating and storage temperatures and humidity · Store in a place where the
temperature is between -20°C (-4°F) and 50°C (122 °F) with up to 90% relative humidity. · Operate in a place where the temperature is between 0°C (32°F) and 45°C (113 °F) with up to 90% relative humidity. · Battery life may be shorter in high or low temperature conditions.
