CAUTION

Situations that may result in death or serious injury to yourself or others

•Do not use the product during a thunderstorm. Thunderstorms can cause the product to malfunction and increase the risk of electric shock.

•Using earphones or headphones for an extended time may cause serious damage to your hearing.

If you are exposed to sound louder than 85db for an extended time, you may adversely affect your hearing. The louder the sound is, the more seriously damaged your hearing may be. Note that an ordinary conversation is between 50 to 60 db and road noise is approximately 80 db.

You are strongly advised to set the volume level to medium. The medium level is usually less than 2/3 of the maximum.

•If you hear a ringing in your ear(s), lower the volume or stop using the earphones or headphones.

•Exposure to loud sounds while walking or driving may distract your attention and cause an accident.

•Do not use the earphones while riding a bicycle, driving an automobile or motorcycle, or while walking or jogging on a road or in a crosswalk. The earphones may prevent you from hearing oncoming traffic and lead to a serious accident. Using earphones when driving is also prohibited by law in some areas.

•Use only accessories provided by or approved by Samsung.

•When hanging the product around your neck, do not apply pressure to the neck strap. To prevent accidental choking, keep the neck strap away from children, the elderly, and people incapable of caring for themselves.
