Notes on Headphones

Road safety

Do not use headphones while driving, cycling, or operating any
motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many
areas. It can also be potentially dangerous to play your headphones at
high volume while walking, especially at pedestrian crossings. You
should exercise extreme caution or discontinue use in potentially
hazardous situations.

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 volume or discontinue use.

Caring for others

Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to hear outside
sounds and to be considerate to people around you.

Cautions on Water-resistance

This unit is designed so that it can be used with slight exposure to rain,
snow and other forms of moisture, but there are several points on which
caution should be observed.
• Do not allow it to come into contact with large amounts of water.
• Do not immerse it in water.
• If water should get on it or if it should fall into water, take it out

immediately and wipe it off with a dry cloth. To prevent the battery
from corroding, wipe out the interior of the battery compartment as
follows:
– Open or close the battery compartment with dry hands in a place

without exposure to any water.

– Wipe off the battery and the inside of the battery compartment. Give

special attention to the contacts so that no water remains on them.
