such as automatic doors and fire alarms. Radio waves
may affect electronic equipment and cause accidents
due to malfunction.

• Disconnect the product from the devise if you encounter
any malfunction like noise, smoke, smell, heat or damage
with the product. In such case, contact your local Audio­Technica dealer.

• Do not disassemble, modify or attempt to repair the
product to avoid electric shock, malfunction or fire.

• Do not subject the product to strong impact to avoid
electric shock, malfunction or fire.

• Do not handle the product with wet hands to avoid
electric shock or injury.

• Do not allow the product to get wet to avoid electric
shock or malfunction.

• Do not put foreign matter such as combustible materials,
metal, or liquid in the product.

• Do not cover the product with a cloth to avoid fire or
injury by overheating.

• Follow applicable laws regarding mobile phone and
headphone use if using headphones while driving.

• Do not use the product in places where the inability to
hear ambient sound presents a serious risk (such as at
railroad crossings, train stations, and construction sites).

• To prevent damage to your hearing, do not raise the
volume too high. Listening to loud sound for an extended
period may cause temporary or permanent hearing loss.

• Discontinue use if skin irritation results from direct
contact with the product.

• Be careful to avoid pinching yourself between the
housing and the arm of product.

• Do not store the product under direct sunlight, near
heating devices or in a hot, humid or dusty place to avoid
malfunction.

• To ensure compatibility and correct usage, always
consult the user manual of any device before connecting
the product to it.

• On public transport systems or in other public places,
keep the volume low so as not to disturb other people.

• Audio-Technica will not be liable in any way for any loss
of data in the unlikely event that such losses should
occur while using the product.

• Minimize the volume on your audio device before
connecting the product in order to avoid hearing damage
from sudden exposure to excessive volume.

• When using the product in a dry environment, you may
feel a tingling sensation in your ears. This is caused
by static electricity accumulated on your body, not by
product malfunction.

• Because the product includes metal, it can become cold.

• When the product is used for a long time, the product
may become discolored due to ultraviolet light (especially
direct sunlight) or wear.

• The included cable may become caught or severed if the
product is placed in a bag or pocket without adequate
protection. Always store the product in the included
pouch after disconnecting the cable.

• Connect/disconnect the included cable by holding the
plug. Pulling directly on the cable can result in a broken
wire and the risk of electric shock.

• Do not subject the button or switch to excessive force to
avoid damaging it.

• Reception on the product is available only through the
mobile telephone network. Note that performance of
other types of phone reception (phones using other
wireless applications) cannot be guaranteed.

• If you use the product close to an electronic device or
transmitter (such as a mobile phone), a noise may be
generated in the product. In this case, keep the product
away from the electronic device or transmitter.

• If you use the product near a TV or radio antenna, noise
may be generated in the television or radio. In this case,
keep the product away from the TV or radio antenna.

• Do not use cables other than the included ones. Doing
so can result in malfunction.

Safety precaution

Caution for rechargeable battery

The product is equipped with a rechargeable battery (lithium polymer batter y).

• If battery fluid gets into eyes, do not rub them. Rinse
thoroughly with clean water such as tap water and
consult a doctor immediately.

• If battery fluid leaks, do not touch fluid with bare
hands. If fluid remains inside the product, it may cause
malfunction. If battery fluid leaks, contact your local
Audio-Technica dealer.

– If fluid gets in your mouth, gargle thoroughly with

clean water such as tap water and consult a doctor
immediately.

– If your skin or clothing comes in contact with fluid,

immediately wash the affected skin or clothing with
water. If you experience skin irritation, consult a doctor.

• Never heat, disassemble or modify the battery, nor
dispose of it in a fire to avoid leakage, generation of heat
or explosion.

• Do not attempt to pierce with a nail, hit with a hammer
or step on the battery to avoid generation of heat,
damage or ignition.

• Do not drop the product or subject it to strong impact
to avoid leakage, generation of heat or explosion.

• When you dispose of the product, you need to discard the built-in rechargeable battery. Contact your local Audio-Technica dealer about the method of disposal.

• Do not get the battery wet to avoid generation of heat,
explosion or ignition.

• Do not use, leave or store the battery in the following places:

– Area exposed to direct sunlight or high temperatures

and humidity
– Inside of a car under the blazing sun
– Near heat sources such as heat registers

• Charge only with the included USB cable to avoid
malfunction or fire.

• After using the device, be sure to switch it off. Leakage
often occurs due to batter y drain that results from a
failure to switch off device.

• To protect the built-in rechargeable battery, charge it at
least once every half year. If you leave it too long, you
will have less rechargeable battery life or the battery may
not recharge at all.

• The battery may have reached the end of its service life if
the usage time becomes shorter even though the battery
is fully charged or if charging is still not complete after
more than 4 hours of continuous charging. In this case,
contact your local Audio-Technica dealer.
