Remarques concernant la pile
• Ne rechargez pas une pile sèche.
• Ne mettez pas la pile en contact avec des pièces de
monnaie ou des objets métalliques. Celle-ci peut en
effet produire de la chaleur si les bornes positives et
négatives entrent accidentellement en contact avec
les objets métalliques.
• Si vous n'utilisez pas l'appareil pendant un certain
temps, retirez la pile pour éviter tout
endommagement dû à une fuite ou à la corrosion.
Vérification de l'autonomie des piles
Soulevez la bande auto-ajustable et vérifiez le témoin
d'alimentation POWER situé sur le boîtier de
l'écouteur droit. Les piles sont encore en état de
marche lorsque le témoin s'allume en bleu.
Chargez la pile rechargeable ou installez des piles
alcalines neuves si le témoin d'alimentation POWER
ne s'allume pas.
