Philips Electronics manufactures and sells
many products targeted at consumers,
which, like any electronic apparatus, in
general have the ability to emit and receive
electromagnetic signals.
One of Philips leading Business Principles
is to take all necessary health and safety
measures for our products, to comply with
all applicable legal requirements and to stay
well within the EMF standards applicable at
the time of producing the products.
Philips is committed to develop, produce
and market products that cause no adverse
health effects.

Hearing safety
Danger
To avoid hearing damage limit the time you use
the headphones at high volume and set the
volume to a safe level.The louder the volume
the shorter is the safe listening time.
ꢀ
Be sure to observe the following
guidelines when using your headphones.
ꢁ
ꢂ
•
•
•
•
•
Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable
periods of time.
Be careful not to adjust the volume
continuously upwards as your hearing adapts.
Do not turn up the volume so high that you
can’t hear what’s around you.
Excessive sound pressure from earphones
and headphones can cause hearing loss.
You should use caution or temporarily
discontinue use in potentially hazardous
situations.
Using this headset with both ears covered
while driving is not recommended and may
be illegal in some areas while driving.
For your safety avoid distractions from
music or phone calls while in traffic or other
potentially dangerous environments.
Philips confirms that if its products are
handled properly for their intended use,
they are safe to use according to scientific
evidence available today.

for the most natural, audiophile reproduction
of music, ideal for classical, acoustic, Jazz and
voice dominated music.
•
The “Dynamic Bass” setting emphasizes deep
frequencies for a more powerful bass ideal
for Hip Hop,Techno and other bass driven
music styles, or for extra motivation during
your workout.
When you buy the product the “Natural”
FullSound setting is enabled.To switch between
the two settings double tap the left earshell
two times.The “Natural” FullSound setting is
confirmed by an ascending tone, the “Dynamic
