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.
