Warnings

Please read these warnings before using your headphones. To ensure safety, observe all warnings while using this equipment.

Do not disassemble or attempt to repair headphones.

Never use the headphones in places where the inability to hear ambient sounds presents a serious risk (such as while operating a motor vehicle or bicycle, or at railroad crossings, train stations, construction sites or on roads or where vehicles and bicycles are traveling).

Noise-cancelling headphones make it hard to hear outside low-pitched sounds. Take care to recognize warning beeps and other auditory reminders; be aware that the familiar sound of these alerts may be changed by the headphones.

To prevent damage to your eardrums, never use the headphones at excessive volume levels. Listening to loud sounds for an extended period may cause temporary or permanent hearing loss.

Do not store the headphones in direct sunlight, near heating devices or in hot, humid or dusty places.

Do not subject the headphones to strong impact.

Do not allow the headphones to become wet.

Battery precautions

Keep batteries out of the reach of children.

Use only disposable AAA alkaline batteries.

Do not use rechargeable batteries.

Observe correct polarity as marked.

Remove depleted battery immediately.

Please dispose of used batteries properly.

Do not use a leaking battery. If battery leakage occurs, avoid contact with skin. If contact occurs, immediately wash thoroughly with soap and water. If battery leakage comes into contact with your eyes, immediately flush with water and seek medical attention.

Do not expose the battery to excessive heat.

Avertissements

Veuillez lire les avertissements ci-dessous avant d’utiliser le casque. Pour votre sécurité et celle des autres, observez tous les avertissements ci-dessous lorsque vous utilisez cet appareil.

Ne pas démonter ou tenter de réparer le casque d’écoute.

Ne jamais utiliser le casque d’écoute dans des lieux où ne pas entendre les bruits ambiants peut constituer un facteur de risque sérieux (en conduisant ou en roulant en vélo, aux passages à niveau, dans les gares, sur un chantier ou dans le trafic automobile ou cycliste, etc.).

Le casque d’écoute rend plus difficile la perception des sons graves. Veillez à vous familiariser avec le son des alarmes et des signaux sonores ; le port du casque d’écoute peut changer la façon dont vous les entendez.

Pour éviter les lésions aux tympans, évitez d’utiliser le casque d’écoute à un volume sonore trop élevé. L’écoute à un volume sonore très élevé pendant des périodes prolongées peut provoquer des pertes auditives temporaires ou irréversibles.

Ne pas ranger le casque à des endroits exposés à l’ensoleillement direct, à côté d’appareils de chauffage ou dans des lieux chauds, humides ou poussiéreux.

Ne pas exposer le casque à des chocs violents.

Ne pas mettre le casque en contact avec l’eau.

Mesures de sécurité relatives aux piles

Garder les piles hors de portée des enfants.

N’utilisez que des piles alcalines AAA jetables.

Ne pas utiliser de piles rechargeables.

Respectez la polarité comme indiqué sur le logement.

Ne pas utiliser de piles présentant des fuites. En cas de fuite de la pile, éviter tout contact avec la peau. En cas de contact avec la peau, laver immédiatement au savon et à l’eau. En cas de contact du liquide de la pile avec les yeux, rincer immédiatement à l’eau claire et con sulter un médecin.

• Ne pas exposer les piles à une chaleur excessive.

• Retirer immédiatement les piles vides du logement.

• Éliminer les piles usagées dans le respect de la réglementation sur l’environnement.

Avvertenze

Si prega di leggere le seguenti avvertenze prima dell’uso. Si consiglia di attenersi alle seguenti avvertenze per un corretto funzionamento dell’apparecchio.

Non smontare o cercare di riparare le cuffie.

Non utilizzare le cuffie in tutti i casi in cui l’impossibilità di udire rumori esterni possa comportare un rischio per se stessi o per gli altri (come ad esempio alla guida di un veicolo a motore o di una bicicletta, in prossimità di passaggi a livello o stazioni ferroviarie, cantieri edili o di strade trafficate).

Le cuffie con riduzione del rumore rendono difficile l’ascolto di toni bassi provenienti dall’esterno. Prestare attenzione agli avvisi e ai promemoria sonori; il suono di questi avvisi potrebbe risultare alterato una volta indossate le cuffie.

Per prevenire il danneggiamento dei timpani si consiglia di non utilizzare le cuffie ad un volume troppo elevato. Ascoltare musica a volume elevato e per periodi prolungati può causare la perdita temporanea o permanente dell’udito.

Si consiglia di non esporre le cuffie alla luce solare, a fonti di calore o di non riporle in luoghi caldi, umidi o polverosi.

Proteggere le cuffie da urti violenti.

Non bagnare le cuffie.

Precauzioni per le batterie

Tenere le batterie lontano dalla portata dei bambini.

Utilizzare solo batterie alcaline AAA di tipo “usa e getta”.

Non utilizzare batterie ricaricabili.

Inserire le batterie rispettando la polarità indicata.

Non utilizzare batterie danneggiate che perdono liquidi. In presenza di batterie danneggiate e di perdita di liquidi, evitare il contatto della pelle. In caso di contatto, lavare immediatamente con abbondante acqua e sapone. In caso di contatto con gli occhi, lavare immediatamente con abbondante acqua e consultare un medico.

Non esporre le batterie a temperature elevate.

Rimuovere immediatamente le batterie esauste.

Smaltire le batterie esauste negli appositi contenitori.
