WARNING

Do not use when a failure to hear your surroundings could be dangerous, such as while driving, or when biking, walking, 

or jogging where traffic is present and accidents could occur.

Keep this product and its accessories out of reach of children. Handling or use by children may pose a risk of death or se­

rious injury. Contains small parts and cords that may pose risk of choking or strangulation.

Set the volume level of the audio device to a minimum, and then after connecting the earphones, adjust the volume gradu­

ally. Sudden exposure to loud noises could cause hearing damage.

Turn up the volume control only far enough to hear properly.

Ringing in the ears may indicate that the volume level is too high. Try lowering the volume.

If you connect these earphones to an airplane’s sound system, listen at low levels so that loud messages from the pilot do 

not cause discomfort.

Have your hearing checked by an audiologist on a regular basis. If you experience wax buildup, discontinue use until a 

medical professional has examined your ears.

Failure to use, clean, or maintain earphone sleeves and nozzles according to manufacturer’s instructions may increase 

the risk of sleeves detaching from the nozzle and becoming lodged in your ear.

Prior to inserting the earphone, always recheck the sleeve to make sure it is firmly attached to the nozzle.

If a sleeve becomes lodged in your ear, seek skilled medical assistance to remove the sleeve. Damage to the ear may be 

caused by non-professionals attempting to remove the sleeve.

Do not attempt to modify this product. Doing so could result in personal injury and/or product failure.

CAUTION

Do not immerse in water, such as while taking a bath or washing your face, otherwise sound deterioration or failures may 

result.

Do not use while sleeping as accidents may result.

Use a slow twisting motion to remove the earphones. Never pull on the earphone cord.

Stop using the earphones immediately if they are causing great discomfort, irritation, rash, discharge, or any other uncom­

fortable reaction.

If you are currently receiving ear treatment, consult your physician before using this device.

Battery packs may explode or release toxic materials. Risk of fire or burns. Do not open, crush, modify, disassemble, heat 

above 140°F (60°C), or incinerate.
