Safety information  
Headset safety  
Important battery precautions  
To use a headset safely, please keep the following in  
mind:  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Electrostatic disturbance  
This unit may temporarily cease to function if  
subjected to electrostatic disturbance. To resume  
normal operation, you may reset the player by  
removing and re-installing the battery.  
Precautions for the player  
Do not use the unit immediately after  
transportation from a cold place to a warm  
place; condensation problems may result.  
Avoid shock to the unit.  
Do not store the unit near fire, places with high  
temperature or in direct sunlight. Exposure to  
direct sunlight or extreme heat (such as inside a  
parked car) may cause damage or malfunction.  
Do not expose to rain or moisture.  
Do not operate or store unit in places with  
frequent static electricity or electrical noise (e.g.  
speaker, TV set).  
Clean the unit with a soft cloth or a damp  
chamois leather. Never use solvents.  
The unit must only be opened by qualified  
personnel.
