Safety instructions
Intended use This device is intended to be used for the wireless transmission of audio signals, particularly voice transmission during guided tours and events. Any other use or use under other operating conditions is considered to be improper and may result in personal injury or property damage. No liability will be assumed for damage resulting from improper use. This product may be used only by persons with sufficient physical, sensory, and intellectual abilities and with the relevant knowledge and experience. Other persons may use this device only if they are supervised or instructed by a person who is responsible for their safety. Risk of injury and choking hazard for children!
Children can suffocate on packaging material and small parts. Children can injure themselves when handling the product. Never allow children to play with the packaging material and the device. Always store packaging material out of the reach of babies and small children. Always dispose of packaging material properly when it is not in use. Never allow children to use the device without supervision. Keep small parts away from children and make sure that the device does not shed any small parts (such as knobs) that children could play with. Possible hearing damage due to high volumes on headphones or earphones! The use of headphones or earphones at high volumes or for an extended period of time may result in permanent hearing impairment. Set the volume of your audio device to a medium value. Do not use the headphones or earphones for more than about an hour a day. Risk of injury due to incorrect handling of lithium batteries! In the event of a short circuit, overheating or mechanical damage, lithium batteries can cause severe injuries. Handle lithium batteries in a correct and professional manner. Store lithium batteries in a cool and dry place in their original packaging. Keep lithium batteries away from sources of heat. Never open lithium batteries. Only charge rechargeable lithium batteries with a suitable charger. Remove the lithium batteries before disposing of the device. Cover the poles of used lithium batteries with adhesive tape to prevent short circuits. Electrolyte can escape from damaged lithium batteries. Put the damaged lithium battery in air-tight packaging. Collect the electrolyte with absorbent paper. Wear rubber gloves while doing so.

Possible damage to lithium-ion batteries through incorrect storage!
Deep discharge can permanently damage lithium-ion batteries or cause them to lose some of their capacity. Charge the lithium-ion batteries before longer breaks in use and before storage. Ensure that the device is switched off for storage. Store the device at room temperature or cooler in an environment as dry as possible. Recharge the lithium-ion batteries about every three months if they are stored for a longer period of time to avoid permanent damage due to too deep self-discharge. Fully charge the lithium-ion batteries at room temperature immediately before use.
Radio interference due to electromagnetic signals!
The unit emits electromagnetic radio signals. Overlapping radio waves may cause interference with the device and other devices. Do not use the device in locations where the use of wireless devices is prohibited.
Operating location
Never use this product:
in direct sunlight in conditions of extreme temperature or humidity in extremely dusty or dirty places in locations where the device may get wet in the vicinity of magnetic fields
General handling
To prevent damage, never exert force while operating the device. Never immerse the device in water. Wipe only with a clean and dry
cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners such as benzene, thinners or flammable cleaning agents
Keep the device away from impurities!
Keep the device away containers with liquid. Should liquid enter the device, this could lead to its destruction or fire. Ensure that no metallic parts enter the device.
Notes on radio transmission
This equipment uses a frequency range that is free of charge and registration within the European Union (EU). For more information, please visit: www. thomann.de. During operation, make sure that transmitter and receiver are set to the same channel. Never set more than one transmitter to the same channel. Make sure that no metal objects are located between transmitter and receiver. Avoid interference by other radio and in-ear systems.
