Safety information

Important battery precautions

•Any battery may present a risk of fire, explosion, or chemical burn if abused. Do not try to charge a battery that is not intended to be recharged, do not incinerate, and do not puncture.

•Non-rechargeable batteries, such as alkaline batteries, may leak if left in your product for a long period of time. Remove the batteries from the product if you are not going to use it for a month or more.

•If your product uses more than one battery, do not mix types and make sure they are inserted correctly. Mixing types or inserting incorrectly may cause them to leak.

•Discard any leaky or deformed battery immediately. They may cause skin burns or other personal injury.

•Please help to protect the environment by recycling or disposing of batteries according to federal, state, and local regulations.

Headset safety

To use a headset safely, please keep the following in mind:

•Do not play your headset at a high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous extended play.

•If you experience ringing in your ears, turn down the volume or stop using the headset.

•Do not use a headset while driving a motorized vehicle or riding a bike. It may cause a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

•Even if your headset is an open-air type designed to let you hear outside sounds, don’t turn up the volume so high that can’t hear sounds around you.
