Safety Instructions

Dangers of Injury
❐ Caution! Danger of suffocation from swallowing! Keep the device, batteries and ear
cushions out of the reach of small children and animals.
❐ Batteries can be deadly if swallowed. If a battery is swallowed, seek medical assis-
tance immediately.
❐ Danger of damage to hearing! A high volume which impinges on your ears for a
lengthy period of time can cause permanent hearing damage. Set a low volume be-
fore you put on the sound amplifi er. Then set a level of sound amplifi cation that you
fi nd pleasant.
❐ Do not use the sound amplifi er if your environment requires a particular level of atten-
tion (e.g. when performing skilled manual tasks).
❐ The sound amplifi er generates magnetic fi elds. They may interfere with pacemak-
ers and implantable cardioverter defi brillators (ICDs). The distance between these
devices and the earphones should therefore be at least 10 cm. If you believe that
a pacemaker or another medical device is suffering interference, switch the sound
amplifi er off immediately and contact the manufacturer of the pacemaker or other
medical device.
The Proper Handling of Batteries
❐ The battery must not be inserted/replaced by children.
❐ Before inserting the battery, check whether the contacts in the battery compartment
and on the battery are clean, and clean them if necessary.
❐ Use only the battery type specifi ed in the technical data. Use high-performance alka-
line batteries. When replacing batteries, note the correct polarity (+/–).
