Cautions
●Never use the headphones while driving a car, riding a motorcycle or bicycle or
operating any other vehicle.
●Do not use the headphones in places where the inability to hear ambient sound
presents a serious risk (such as at railroad crossings, train stations, construction
sites or on roads where vehicles and bicycles are traveling).
●To prevent damage to your hearing, do not raise the volume too high. Listening to
loud sound for an extended period may cause temporary or permanent hearing loss.
●Discontinue use if skin irritation results from direct contact with the product.
●Do not disassemble, modify or attempt to repair the headphones.
●Be careful to avoid pinching yourself between the housing and arm of the product.
●To ensure compatibility and correct usage, always consult the user manual of any
device before connecting the headphones to it.
●These headphones are designed to easily dissipate noise to the outside. On public
transport systems or in other public places, keep the volume low so as not to
disturb other people.
●Please minimize the volume on your audio device before connecting the
headphones in order to avoid hearing damage from sudden exposure to excessive
volume.
●When using this product in a dry environment, you may feel a tingling sensation in
your ears. This is caused by static electricity accumulated on your body, not by a
headphone malfunction.
●Do not subject the headphones to strong impact.
●Do not store the headphones under direct sunlight, near heating devices or in a
hot, humid or dusty place. Do not allow the headphones to get wet.
●When this product is used for a long time, the headphones may become discolored
due to ultraviolet light (especially direct sunlight) or wear.
●Simply placing this product in a bag or pocket may cause the cable to become
tangled and snag, which may result in severed wires.
●Connect/disconnect the cable by holding the plug. Pulling directly on the cable can
result in a broken wire and the risk of electric shock.
●Do not wind the cable around your portable audio device. This may damage or sever
the cable.
●Audio-Technica will not be liable in any way for any loss of data in the unlikely event
that such losses should occur while using this product.
Warnings
●Cleaning the headphones
To clean, wipe with a dry cloth.
●Cleaning the cables
If the cables have become soiled (by perspiration, for instance), wipe them with a dry
cloth immediately after use. Using cables which are dirty may cause them to
deteriorate, become hard and give rise to problems.
●Cleaning the plug
Using the plug when it is dirty may cause intermittent sound or noise. When the plug is
dirty, wipe it with a dry cloth.
●Cleaning the earpads and headband
To clean, wipe with a dry cloth. Earpads and headband may fade if sweat or water
dries on them. If the earpads get wet, we recommend wiping them with a dry cloth and
allowing them to dry in the shade.
