Avvertenze
Si prega di leggere le seguenti avvertenze prima dell'uso. Si consiglia di attenersi
alle seguenti avvertenze per un corretto funzionamento dell'apparecchio.
• Non smontare o cercare di riparare le cuffie.
• Non utilizzare le cuffie in tutti i casi in cui l'impossibilità di udire rumori esterni
possa comportare un rischio per se stessi o per gli altri (come ad esempio alla
guida di un veicolo a motore o di una bicicletta, in prossimità di passaggi a
livello o stazioni ferroviarie, cantieri edili o di strade trafficate).
• Le cuffie con riduzione del rumore rendono difficile l'ascolto di toni bassi
provenienti dall'esterno. Prestare attenzione agli avvisi e ai promemoria
sonori; il suono di questi avvisi potrebbe risultare alterato una volta indossate
le cuffie.
• Per prevenire il danneggiamento dei timpani si consiglia di non utilizzare le
cuffie ad un volume troppo elevato. Ascoltare musica a volume elevato e per
periodi prolungati può causare la perdita temporanea o permanente dell'udito.
• Si consiglia di non esporre le cuffie alla luce solare, a fonti di calore o di non
riporle in luoghi caldi, umidi o polverosi.
• Proteggere le cuffie da urti violenti.
• Non bagnare le cuffie.
Precauzioni per le batterie
• Tenere le batterie lontano dalla portata dei bambini.
• Utilizzare solo batterie alcaline AAA di tipo "usa e getta".
• Non utilizzare batterie ricaricabili.
• Inserire le batterie rispettando la polarità indicata.
• Non utilizzare batterie danneggiate che perdono liquidi. In presenza di batterie
danneggiate e di perdita di liquidi, evitare il contatto della pelle. In caso di
contatto, lavare immediatamente con abbondante acqua e sapone. In caso di
contatto con gli occhi, lavare immediatamente con abbondante acqua e
consultare un medico.
• Non esporre le batterie a temperature elevate.
• Rimuovere immediatamente le batterie esauste.
• Smaltire le batterie esauste negli appositi contenitori.
Warnhinweise:
Bitte lesen Sie diese Warnhinweise, bevor Sie die Kopfhörer benutzen. Beachten
Sie zu Ihrer Sicherheit alle Warnhinweise, wenn Sie dieses Gerät benutzen.
• Bauen Sie Kopfhörer nicht auseinander, und versuchen Sie nicht, sie selbst zu reparieren.
• Benutzen Sie Kopfhörer niemals in Umgebungen, wo die Unfähigkeit,
Umgebungsgeräusche zu hören, ein Risiko darstellen (etwa, wenn Sie selbst
ein Kraftfahrzeug oder ein Fahrrad fahren, oder an Bahnübergängen, in
Bahnhöfen, an Baustellen und auf Straßen, die von Kraftfahrzeugen oder
Fahrrädern befahren werden).
• Kopfhörer mit Geräuschunterdrückung erschweren es, wenig laute Geräusche
von außen zu hören. Sorgen Sie dafür, dass Sie Warntöne und andere
akustische Warnungen hören, und stellen Sie sich darauf ein, dass die
Kopfhörer den Klang derart vertrauter Geräusche verändern können.
• Benutzen Sie die Kopfhörer niemals mit Überlautstärke, um Schäden an
Ihrem Gehör zu vermeiden. Langes Hören von lauten Klängen kann zu
zeitweiligem oder permanentem Hörverlust führen.
• Lagern Sie die Köpfhörer nicht unter direkter Sonneneinstrahlung, in der
Nähe von Heizkörpern oder an heißen, feuchten sowie staubigen Orten.
• Setzen Sie die Kopfhörer keinen heftigen Erschütterungen aus.
• Setzen Sie die Kopfhörer keiner Feuchtigkeit aus.
Batterievorkehrungen
• Bewahren Sie Batterien außerhalb der Reichweite von Kindern auf.
• Verwenden Sie ausschließlich hochwertige Einmal-Alkali-Batterien.
• Verwenden Sie keine wieder aufladbaren Batterien.
• Achten Sie auf die richtige Polarität wie markiert.
• Verwenden Sie keine beschädigten Batterien. Vermeiden Sie Hautkontakt mit
beschädigten Batterien. Falls Hautkontakt entstanden ist, waschen Sie sich
sorgfältig mit Wasser und Seife. Falls eine aus der Batterie ausgetretene
Substanz mit Ihren Augen in Kontakt gekommen ist, spülen Sie die Augen
sofort mit Wasser und suchen Sie einen Arzt auf.
• Setzen Sie die Batterie keiner großen Hitze aus.
• Entfernen Sie leere Batterien sofort.
• Bitte entsorgen Sie gebrauchte Batterien fachgerecht.

Audio-Technica's ATH-ANC29 QuietPoint ® headphones use active noise-cancelling
technology to provide a comfortable listening environment in areas with high ambient

ambient noise and creates a sound-cancelling signal to effectively block the noise.
• QuietPoint ® active noise cancelling headphones cut ambient noise by up to 87%
• Use for MP3, CD, DVD and in-flight entertainment systems; remove detachable cable
for noise-cancelling function without audio input
• Audio functions (in passive mode) even without the battery
• Fully integrated electronics—no external modules needed
• Compact design folds flat for travel
• Includes a protective pouch
