Important Safety Information

WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in injury or damage.

Exercising Before starting any exercise program, you should have a complete physical examination by your physician. Do a warmup or stretching exercise before beginning any workout. Be careful and attentive while exercising. Slow down, if necessary, before adjusting your iPod while running. Stop exercising immediately if you feel pain, or feel faint, dizzy, exhausted, or short of breath. By exercising, you assume the risks inherent in physical exercise, including any injury that may result from such activity.

Choking hazard The receiver and sensor are potential choking hazards. Keep them away from children under three years of age.

Avoid hearing damage Permanent hearing loss may occur if earbuds or headphones are used at high volume. Set the volume to a safe level. You can adapt over time to a higher volume of sound that may sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing. If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected. Hearing experts suggest that to protect your hearing:

ÂLimit the amount of time you use earbuds or headphones at high volume.

ÂAvoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.

ÂTurn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.

Disassembling the sensor Do not attempt to open the sensor, disassemble it, or remove the battery. No user-serviceable parts are inside. Do not use the receiver or iPod in or near water or wet locations.
