WARNINGS
• DON'T use the headphones at a high volume for any extended period.
- To avoid hearing damage, use your headphones at a comfortable, moderate volume level.
- Turn the volume down on your device before placing the headphones on your ears, then turn the volume up gradually
until you reach a comfortable listening level.
• DON'T use your headphones while driving or at any time the inability to hear outside surrounding sounds may present
a danger to yourself or others.
• DO focus on your safety and that of others if you use the headphones while engaging in any activity requiring your
attention, e.g., while riding a bicycle or walking in or near traffic, a construction site or railroad, etc. Remove the head-
phones or adjust your volume to ensure you can hear surrounding sounds, including alarms and warning signals.
• DON'T use mobile phone adapters to connect headphones to airplane seat jacks as this could result in personal
injury such as burns or property damage due to overheating. Remove and disconnect immediately if you experience a
warming sensation or loss of audio.
• DON'T submerge or expose for extended period to water, or wear while participating in water sports, i.e. swimming,
waterskiing, surfing, etc. Exposure to moisture may increase the risk of fire or electric shock.
• DON'T use the headphones as aviation communication headsets except in case of emergency.
- No incoming audio will be heard with a discharged or improperly installed battery. This could result in the potential of
missed communications while piloting an aircraft.
- Extremely loud ambient noise levels common to many propeller-driven aircraft may impair your ability to receive
incoming audio communications, particularly during takeoff and climb out.
