WARNING
This signal term indicates a moderate risk, which, if not avoided, may result in death or severe injury.
CAUTION
This signal term indicates a low risk, which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE

WARNING
Danger of suffocation! Children can become trapped in the packaging film when playing and suffocate.

• Make sure that children do not play with the packaging, and that they do not pull off small parts of the headphones and put them in their mouth.
  Risk in road traffic and at work! Your headphones significantly dampen external noise so that you are not entirely aware of your surroundings.

• Do not in any case wear your headphones while performing activities where you are required to pay attention to your surroundings.
  This particularly applies to when you are operating machinery or driving on the road. You should also observe the legal guidelines and provisions of the country which you are in when using the headphones.

Attention! Risk of explosion/ fire! Lithium rechargeable batteries can explode if handled improperly.

• Do not heat or burn the rechargeable battery. Only charge the rechargeable battery at ambient temperature of 0–45 °C.
  Do not use the headphones in environments where there is a risk of explosion. Do not expose batteries and rechargeable batteries to direct sunlight.
  Interference caused by radio waves! Radio waves could affect the function of other sensitive devices that are not protected.

• Only use the headphones in environments where the use of Bluetooth ® is permitted.
  CAUTION
  Extended listening at high volumes may lead to hearing loss!

• To avoid damage to your health, avoid extended listening at high volumes.

• If the headphones are set to full volume, it may produce very high sound pressure. This might have psychological consequences and also cause physical injury. Children
  are especially at risk. Set the volume control of your player to low volume before you turn it on.

NOTICE
Risk of damage! Improper handling of the headphones may result in damage.

• Ensure that the headphones do not become wet, and protect them from moisture, heat (e.g. during the summer in cars) and mechanical influences (e.g. severe shocks, pressure and falling).

Disposal

Important information in accordance with the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act (Germany: ElektroG)
We advise owners of electrical and electronic appliances that old electrical and electronic devices must be handed in separately from municipal waste, in accordance with the applicable regulations. Batteries and rechargeable batteries that are not firmly enclosed in old electrical devices and lamps, and that can be removed from the old device without destroying them, must be separated from them in a non-destructive manner before they are handed to the collection point for their intended disposal. Please take note of our information on the Batteries Act (Germany: BattG) below for disposing of batteries.
You make an important contribution to returning, recycling and further processing of old devices if you separate your old devices into the correct collection groups for
recycling.
The symbol below of a crossed-out dustbin, applied to electrical and electronic appliances, also advises of the duty to separate collections:
Consumer electronics stores and supermarkets are obliged, under certain conditions, to take back old electrical and electronic devices, in accordance with section 17 of the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act. Stationary retailers must take back an old electrical device of the same type when a new electrical device is bought (1:1 return). This also applies to home deliveries. These retailers must also take back up to three small old electrical devices (≤ 25 cm) without this being linked to a new purchase (0:1 return). In accordance with the Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act, as online retailers of electrical devices and due to our product range, our obligation is limited to 1:1 return of large devices of > 50 cm when selling a new electrical or electronic device of the same type. We comply with the obligation of return of devices other than large devices through our service provider. You can find the exact contact data and collection points on our website www.teufel.de/entsorgung. It is also possible to return old electrical and electronic appliances free of charge at an official delivery point run by the public waste disposal authorities.
Important: For safety reasons we ask that you refrain from sending lighting fixtures (some lamps). For return of lighting fixtures please use the public waste disposal collection points or contact us directly at www.teufel.de/entsorgung.
As an end-user, you are responsible for deleting any personal data on old electrical appliances before handing it in.
Important: Our appliances can contain batteries/rechargeable batteries. If this is the case, please refer to its attached product documentation for additional information on the type and chemical make-up of the battery. For products with battery compartments you can directly remove the batteries or rechargeable batteries and dispose of them properly. If the batteries are built in to the product, do not in any case attempt to remove the batteries yourself, instead contact one of our employees or appropriate specialist
staff.
Important information about the Batteries Act (Germany: BattG)
Batteries and rechargeable batteries must not be disposed on in household waste.
Old batteries can contain toxic substances that could damage the environment or your health if not stored or disposed of properly.
This applies especially to improper handling of batteries containing lithium.
However, batteries also contain important raw materials such as iron, zinc, manganese and nickel and these can be reused. Separate collection enables recycling of these raw materials and avoids any negative impact on the environment or human health due to toxic substances being released.
The crossed-out dustbin symbol means that you should not dispose of old batteries and rechargeable batteries in household waste. In addition, you, as the end-user, are legally obliged to return old batteries.
You can hand in batteries and rechargeable batteries free of charge at an official return point such as any public waste disposal collection point. You can also hand in old batteries, that we stock or have stocked as new batteries, at one of our Teufel stores or at one of our dispatch warehouses. However, if you send them to our dispatch  warehouses we would like to point out the dangerous goods regulations of the dispatch provider you opt for and ask you not send batteries to us by post. You can get the addresses of our dispatch warehouses from our customer service. Due to existing legal regulations, the battery manufacturer must use the following symbols with the following meanings when marking the batteries. Hg: the battery contains more than 0.0005 mass percent of mercury Pb: the battery contains more than 0.004 mass percent of lead Cd: the battery contains more than 0.002 mass percent of cadmium Otherwise, to avoid waste and littering, batteries with a long service life or rechargeable batteries should be used. Exchangeable rechargeable batteries enable long service for electrical and electronic appliances and thus devices and rechargeable batteries can be prepared for recycling (e.g. regenerating/ exchanging rechargeable batteries). Further information on preventing waste for consumers can, however, be found in the Federal waste prevention programme with the participation of the Federal states.
