ˋ
When you use the headphones in a train or
a car, noise may occur depending on street
conditions.
ˋ
Mobile phones may cause interference
and noise. Should this occur, locate the
headphones further away from the mobile
phone.
Notes on using on the airplane
Do not use the headphones when use of
electronic equipment is prohibited or when
use of personal headphones for in-flight
entertainment services is prohibited.
Notes on handling
ˋ
Because the headphones are designed to fit
closely in your ears, forcing them against your
ears may result in eardrum damage. Avoid
using the headphones where they are liable to
be struck by people or other objects, such as
a ball, etc.
ˋ
Pressing the headphones against your ears
may produce a diaphragm click sound. This is
not a malfunction.
ˋ
Clean the headphones with a soft dry cloth.
ˋ
Do not leave the plug dirty otherwise the
sound may be distorted.
ˋ
Be sure to consult a Sony dealer when the
earpads become dirty or damaged, or when
the headphones require repair work.
ˋ
Do not leave the headphones in a location
subject to direct sunlight, heat or moisture.
ˋ
Do not subject the headphones to excessive
shock.
ˋ
Handle the driver units carefully.
ˋ
If you feel drowsy or sick while using this
headphones, stop use immediately.
Notes on headphones
High volume may affect your
hearing. For traffic safety, do not use
while driving or cycling.
As headphones reduce outside sounds, they may
cause a traffic accident. Also, avoid listening with
your headphones in situations where hearing
must not be impaired, for example, a railroad
crossing, a construction site, etc.
Preventing hearing damage
Avoid using headphones at high volume. Hearing
experts advise against continuous, loud and
extended play. If you experience a ringing in your
ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use.
Note on static electricity
In particularly dry air conditions, noise or sound
skipping may occur, or mild tingling may be felt
on your ears. This is a result of static electricity
accumulated in the body, and not a malfunction
of the headphones.
The effect can be minimized by wearing clothes
made from natural materials.
If you have any questions or problems
concerning the system that are not covered in
this manual, please consult the nearest Sony
dealer.
