Use and handling

Stop using the wireless headset immediately if you begin to feel tired or if you experience

ˎ

discomfort or pain in your head while operating the wireless headset.

If the condition persists, consult a doctor.

Avoid prolonged use of the wireless headset. Take a break at about 30-minute intervals.

ˎ

Permanent hearing loss may occur if the headset is used at high volume. Set the volume to a

ˎ

safe level. Over time, increasingly loud audio may start to sound normal but can actually be

damaging your hearing. If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening

and have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the sooner your hearing could be

affected. To protect your hearing:

Limit the amount of time you use the headset at high volume.

ˋ

Avoid raising the volume to block out noisy surroundings.

ˋ

Lower the volume if you can’t hear people speaking near you.

ˋ

If you feel that the headset is irritating your skin, stop using it immediately.

ˎ

Do not expose the headset to high temperatures, high humidity or direct sunlight.

ˎ

Do not put heavy objects on the headset.

ˎ

Do not allow liquid or small particles to get into the headset.

ˎ

Do not throw or drop the headset, or subject it to strong physical shock.

ˎ

Do not place any rubber or vinyl materials on the headset exterior for an extended period of

ˎ

time.

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the headset. Do not use solvents or other chemicals. Do not wipe

ˎ

with a chemically treated cleaning cloth.

Do not disassemble or insert anything into the headset because this may cause damage to the

ˎ

internal components or cause injury to you.

Observe all signs and instructions that require an electrical device or radio product to be

ˎ

switched off in designated areas, such as gas/refueling stations, hospitals, blasting areas,

potentially explosive atmospheres or aircraft.

The battery used in this device may present a risk of fire or chemical burn if mistreated. Do not

ˎ

disassemble, heat above 60 °C / 140 °F, or incinerate.
