• Leave some slack in the cord of the earphones and the neck lanyard if you
wind them around the unit.
Do not;
• disassemble, remodel, drop, or allow the unit to get wet.
• use or store in locations directly exposed to sunlight, corrosive gases, a
heat vent, or a heating appliance.
• use or store in humid or dusty locations.
• use force to open the battery lid.
• play your headphones or earphones at a high volume.

Batteries

• Do not peel off the covering on batteries and do not use if the covering has
been peeled off.
• Align the poles + and - correctly when inserting batteries.
• Remove batteries if you do not intend to use the unit for a long time.
• Do not throw into fire, short-circuit, disassemble, or subject to excessive
heat.
• Keep out of the reach of small children.
Accidental swallowing of batteries can result in stomach and intestinal
damage.

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.

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 don't turn up the volume so high that you can’t
hear what’s 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.
