1 Important
safety
instructions
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.
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.

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 speci�c 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.
3 EN
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).
