This product may receive radio interference caused by mobile telephones or other products during operation. If such interference is apparent, please increase separation between the product and the mobile telephone or other product.

Care and use

To reduce risk of radio interference caused by headphone-, earphone- or microphone cables, only use adequate accessories with the cable length less than 3 m (9.8 ft).

g Unit

Avoid using or placing this unit near sources of heat. To avoid product damage, do not expose this product to rain, water or other liquids. The units speaker does not have magnetic shielding. Do not place the unit near televisions, personal computers, magnetized cards (bank cards, commuter passes) or other devices easily influenced by a magnet.

g Batteries

Do not peel off the covering on batteries and do not use the batteries if the covering has been peeled off. Align the poles ( and ) correctly when inserting the batteries. Do not mix different types of batteries or old and new batteries. Remove the batteries if you do not intend to use the unit for a long time. Do not heat or expose to flame. Do not leave the batteries in an automobile exposed to direct sunlight for a long period of time with doors and windows closed. Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries. Battery mishandling can cause electrolyte leakage which can damage items the fluid contacts and may cause a fire. If electrolyte leaks from the batteries, consult your dealer. Wash thoroughly with water if electrolyte comes in contact with any part of your body. Keep batteries out of reach of children to prevent swallowing. When carrying batteries in a pocket or bag, ensure no metal objects such as necklaces are placed together with them. Contact with metal may cause short-circuiting which can cause a fire. For safety, carry the rechargeable batteries in the battery carrying case.

g Allergies

Discontinue use if you experience discomfort with the earphones or any other parts that directly contact your skin. Continued use may cause rashes or other allergic reactions.

g Listening caution

Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use. Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas. You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations. Even if your headphones or earphones are the open-air type designed to let you hear outside sounds, dont turn up the volume so high that you cant hear whats around you. Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing comfort level adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds normal can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. To establish a safe level: Start your volume control at a low setting. Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion. Once you have established a comfortable sound level: Leave it there.
