•
•
•
•
Follow all instructions.
Heed all warnings.
Do not use this device near water.
Clean only with dry cloth.
Do not block any ventilation openings.
Install in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
•
•
•
The device shall not be exposed to
dripping or splashing.
Do not place any sources of danger on
the device (e.g. liquid filled objects, lighted
candles).
•
•
Do not install near any heat sources such
as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
devices (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.
Protect the power cord from being
walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs,
2
EN
•
Where the MAINS plug or an appliance
coupler is used as the disconnect device,
the disconnect device shall remain readily
operable.
Listen for reasonable periods of time:
•
Prolonged exposure to sound, even
at normally 'safe' levels, can also cause
hearing loss.
•
Be sure to use your equipment reasonably
and take appropriate breaks.
Warning
Be sure to observe the following guidelines
when using your headphones.
• Never remove the casing of this apparatus.
• Never lubricate any part of this apparatus.
• Never place this apparatus on other electrical
equipment.
• Never look into the laser beam inside this apparatus.
• Make sure that you always have easy access to the
power cord, plug, or adaptor to disconnect the
apparatus from the power.
•
•
•
•
Listen at reasonable volumes for
reasonable periods of time.
Be careful not to adjust the volume as your
hearing adapts.
Do not turn up the volume so high that
you can't hear what's around you.
You should use caution or temporarily
discontinue use in potentially hazardous
situations. Do not use headphones while
operating a motorized vehicle, cycling,
skateboarding, etc.; it may create a traffic
hazard and is illegal in many areas.
Hearing safety
Listen at a moderate volume.
•
Using headphones at a high volume can
impair your hearing.This product can
produce sounds in decibel ranges that may
cause hearing loss for a normal person,
even for exposure less than a minute.The
higher decibel ranges are offered for those
that may have already experienced some
hearing loss.
•
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your
hearing 'comfort level' adapts to higher
volumes of sound. So after prolonged
listening, what sounds 'normal' can actually
be loud and harmful to your hearing.To
guard against this, set your volume to a safe
level before your hearing adapts and leave
it there.
To establish a safe volume level:
•
•
Set your volume control at a low setting.
Slowly increase the sound until you can
hear it comfortably and clearly, without
distortion.
