WARNING:
The myvu personal media viewer must not be used
in any circumstances for which a complete field of
vision is necessary for reasons of safety. Nor should
the viewer be used in any situation in which
undistracted viewing, hearing or mental
concentration is necessary. The viewer should never
be worn while operating equipment or vehicles,
while handling sharp, hot or otherwise dangerous
objects, or used in other situations where your
undivided attention is needed to avoid danger to
yourself or to others. It is the responsibility of the
user of this product to employ common sense with
regard to appropriate product usage.
This product is not recommended for children under 10
years of age, nor for people with atypical visual or
neurological conditions. Consult a physician if you have
concerns about your specific condition and the use of
this product.
Even though the viewer permits users to maintain most
of their natural vision, some people may still experience
motion sickness, perceptual after effects, disorientation,
instability and loss of balance, and eyestrain. If you
experience any of these effects, discontinue use of the
product.
Hearing loss can result when listening to audio at
excessively high levels or for prolonged periods of time.
Always set the volume level on your source device to a
safe level before placing the earbuds in your ears.
