Headset safety
To use a headset safely, please keep the
following in mind:
•
Do not play your headset at a high volume.
Hearing experts advise against continuous
extended play.
Important battery precautions
•
•
•
Any battery may present a risk of fire,
explosion, or chemical burn if abused. Do not
try to charge a battery that is not intended to
be recharged, do not incinerate, and do not
puncture.
Non-rechargeable batteries, such as alkaline
batteries, may leak if left in your product for a
long period of time. Remove the batteries
from the product if you are not going to use it
for a month or more.
If your product uses more than one battery,
do not mix types and make sure they are
inserted correctly. Mixing types or inserting
incorrectly may cause them to leak.
Discard any leaky or deformed battery
immediately. They may cause skin burns or
other personal injury.
Please help to protect the environment by
recycling or disposing of batteries according
to federal, state, and local regulations.
•
•
If you experience ringing in your ears, turn
down the volume or stop using the headset.
Do not use a headset while driving a
motorized vehicle or riding a bike. It may
cause a traffic hazard and is illegal in many
areas.
Even if your headset is an open-air type
designed to let you hear outside sounds,
don’t turn up the volume so high that can’t
hear sounds around you.
•
•
•
WARNING: The battery (battery or batteries or
battery pack) shall not be exposed to excessive
heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
