WARNINGS

•Avoid using a telephone during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

•Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

•Plug the AC adapter into the outlet nearest the equipment that is easily accessible.

•CHILDREN. Never allow children to play with the product—small parts may be a choking hazard.

•Check local laws regarding use of a mobile phone and headset while driving.

•If you use the headset while driving, ensure your attention and focus remain on driving safely.

•Observe all signs that require an electrical device or RF radio product to be switched off in designated areas, such as hospitals, blasting areas, potentially explosive atmospheres, and aircraft.

•On aircraft, obey the airline regulations for use of wireless equipment.

•To reduce the risk of electric shock, explosion, or fire use only the supplied charger or Class 2

AC adapter to charge the headset. Ensure that the voltage rating (e.g. 120v, 60 Hz) corresponds to the power supply you intend to use.

•Do not disassemble the AC adapter as this may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock or fire when the product is subsequently used.

•Do not insert anything into the product because this may cause damage to the internal components or cause injury to you.

•Avoid contact with liquids. Do not locate this product near water, for example, near a bathtub or sink, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.

•Discontinue use of product and contact Plantronics if the product overheats, has a damaged cord or plug, if the product has been dropped or damaged, or if the product has come into contact with liquids.

•This product should never be placed over or near a heat register and should not be placed in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided.

•Exposure to high-volume sound levels may damage your hearing. Although there is no single volume setting that is appropriate for everyone, you should always use your headset or headphones with the volume set at moderate levels and avoid prolonged exposure to high-volume sound levels. The louder the volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected. You may experience different sound levels when using your headset or headphones with different devices. The device you use and its settings affect the level of sound you hear. If you experience hearing discomfort, you should stop listening to the device through your headset or headphones. To protect your hearing, some hearing experts suggest that you:

1.Set the volume control in a low position before putting the headset or headphones on your ears. . Limit the amount of time you use headsets or headphones at high volume.

3.Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.

4.Turn the volume down if the sound from the headset or headphones prevents you from hearing people speaking near you.
