Important safety and operational information
Please read the following safety and operational instructions before
using your headset/headphones and accessories.
General
• Operating, charging and storage temperature is 0ºC to 40ºC
(32ºF to 104ºF).
• Exposure to high volume sound levels or excessive sound pressure may
cause temporary or permanent damage to your hearing. Although
there is no single volume setting that is appropriate for everyone, you
should always use your headset/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 /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/headphones and have your hearing checked by
your doctor. To protect your hearing, some hearing experts suggest
that you:
1. Set the volume control in a low position before putting your headset/
headphones on your ears and use as low a volume as possible.
2. Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
Whenever possible, use your headset/headphones in a quiet
environment with low background noise.
3. Limit the amount of time you use headsets/headphones at high
volume levels.
4. Turn the volume down if the sound from the headset/headphones
prevents you from hearing people speaking near you.
