Care and Handling

Your BlueAnt Bluetooth device is a precision engineered instrument.

  • Do not leave your device, or use your device, in any area where the temperature may exceed 50 degrees Centigrade, such as inside a closed car on a hot day. Remember that on a hot day, the temperature inside a closed car may be significantly higher than the outside air temperature.
  • Do not leave your device, or use your device, in any area where the temperature is likely to drop below 0 degrees Centigrade (32 degrees Fahrenheit).
  • Do not leave your device, or use your device, in any area exposed to humidity, dust, soot, other foreign objects, smoke, or steam as this may cause your device to malfunction.

PROLONGED USE AT HIGH VOLUMES MAY AFFECT YOUR HEARING CAPACITY AND MAY RESULT IN NOISE INDUCED HEARING LOSS (NIHL). TURN OFF THE POWER TO YOUR DEVICE WHEN NOT IN USE.

  • Do not use any household or industrial grade detergents or cleaners to clean your device. If your device becomes dirty or smeared, in most instances a wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth should be sufficient to clean it.
