Notes on use

• Follow applicable laws regarding mobile phone and headphone use if using the product while 

driving. 

• Do not use the product in places where the inability to hear ambient sound presents a serious 

risk (such as at railroad crossings, train stations, construction sites).

• To prevent damage to your hearing, do not raise the volume too high. Listening to loud sound 

for an extended period may cause temporary or permanent hearing loss. 

• Discontinue use if skin irritation results from direct contact with the product.
• Do not disassemble, modify or attempt to repair the product to avoid electric shock, malfunction 

or fire.

• Be careful to avoid pinching yourself between the housing and arm of the product.

• To ensure compatibility and correct usage, always consult the user manual of any device before 

connecting the product to it.

• Audio-Technica will not be liable in any way for any loss of data in the unlikely event that such 

losses should occur while using the product.

• The product is designed to easily dissipate noise to the outside. On public transport systems or 

in other public places, keep the volume low so as not to disturb other people.

• Minimize the volume on your audio device before connecting the product in order to avoid 

hearing damage from sudden exposure to excessive volume. 

• When using the product in a dry environment, you may feel a tingling sensation in your ears. 

This is caused by static electricity accumulated on your body, not by a product malfunction.   

• Do not subject the product to strong impact to avoid electric shock, malfunction or fire. 
• Do not store the product under direct sunlight, near heating devices or in a hot, humid or dusty 

place to avoid malfunction. And do not allow the product to get wet.

• When the product is used for a long time, the product may become discolored due to ultraviolet 

light (especially direct sunlight) or wear.

• The cable may become caught or severed if product is placed in a bag without adequate 

protection. Always store the product in the included carrying case and pouch. 

• Connect/disconnect the included cable by holding the plug. Pulling directly on the cable can 

result in a broken wire and the risk of electric shock.

• Do not wind the included cable around your portable audio device. This may damage or sever 

the cable. 

Safety precautions

• 

Use a dry cloth to clean the headphones. 

• 

After using the included cable, clean it with a dry cloth if sweat or dirt is present. Failure to 

clean the cable may cause it to deteriorate and harden over time, resulting in malfunction.

• 

Wipe the plugs on included cable with a dry cloth if dirty. Using the plug without cleaning 

it can cause sound skipping or distortion.

• 

To clean the earpads and headpad, wipe with a dry cloth. Earpads and headpad may fade 

if sweat or water dries on them. If the earpads and headpad get wet, we recommend 

wiping them with a dry cloth and allowing them to dry in the shade. 

Thank you for purchasing this product. Before using the product, read through the user manual
