Important Safety Information

Listen Responsibly

To avoid hearing damage, make sure that the volume on your music player is
turned down before connecting your headphones. After placing headphones
in/on your ears, gradually turn up the volume until you reach a comfortable
listening level. Noise levels are measured in decibels (dB), exposure to any
noise at or above 85 dB can cause gradual hearing loss. Monitor your use;
hearing loss is a function of loudness versus time. The louder it is, the less time
you can be exposed to it. The softer it is, the more time you can listen to it.

“…. a typical person can safely listen to an iPod for 4.6 hours per
day at 70% volume.”

“…. knowing the levels one is listening to music at, and for how long is extremely
important.”

Get the most out of your equipment and enjoy great audio performance even
at safe levels. Our headphones will allow you to hear more details at lower
volume levels than ever before.

Use Responsibly

Do not use headphones when it’s unsafe to do so—while operating a vehicle,
crossing streets, or during any activity or in an environment where your
full attention to your surroundings is required. It’s dangerous to drive while
wearing headphones, and in many places, illegal because it decreases
your chances of hearing life-saving sounds outside of your vehicle, such as
another car’s horn and emergency vehicle sirens. Please avoid wearing your
headphones while driving. Use an FM transmitter to listen to your mobile media
devices instead. Learn how to establish a safe listening level and review other
important safety guidelines from the Consumer Electronics Association at
www.ce.org and the Deafness Research Foundation at www.drf.org.

Eartips and Maintenance

Eartip Selection

The tips on the ends of urBeatsTM headphones make the difference between
good sound and great sound. With the right t, you’ll get better isolation from
unwanted outside noise, increased bass response, better tonal balance and
the headphones will stay in your ears better. Of course, the right t will also
feel more comfortable. Because everyone’s ears are unique, Beats
several sizes and designs of eartips. Getting the perfect t with the correct tip is
a matter of experimentation. Try out all the eartips included with your urBeats
headphones to nd the best t for the size and shape of your ear canal. We
recommend that you try the smallest tip rst and work upwards in size until you
nd a comfortable t that has a good seal and also stays in your ears without
falling out. Also try different style tips to see which works best for you.

Eartip Fit Testing

A good way to gauge whether or not the eartip is sealing properly in your ear
canal is by snapping your ngers right next to your ear. If the seal is proper,
your ear will not feel “plugged,” yet the snapping of your ngers will sound dull
and distant. If you hear your nger snaps distinctly, the seal is probably not
adequate. If the sound of your nger snapping is dull and distant, but your ear
feels plugged up, like you’re on an airplane preparing to land, then you’ve
over-inserted the eartip.

English

Proper Insertion and Removal of Eartips

1. You may wish to lightly moisten your eartips for easier insertion.

2. Using your right hand, grasp the right headphone.

3. With your left hand, pull up and back on your right ear to straighten your
earcanal.

4. Carefully insert your right headphone,
rubber eartip rst, so that it seals
completely and comfortably in your
ear. DO NOT insert the eartip so deeply
that your ear canal feels completely
“plugged.”

5. Repeat this procedure for your left ear.

6. When you’ve nished your listening
session, remove your in-ear headphones
slowly with a twisting motion to gradually
break the seal.

Eartip Cleaning

Keeping urBeatsTM eartips clean is essential for safe, hygienic use. IMPORTANT:
DO NOT attempt to clean the eartips without rst removing them from the
headphones. Getting the delicate circuitry inside your UrBeats
wet may cause permanent damage.

1. Firmly grip the eartip with one hand and the earphone with the other.
Carefully remove the eartip from the ear tube.

2. Use warm water and mild soap on a damp cloth to remove dirt and earwax
from the eartip. Do NOT use harsh cleaning agents.

3. Rinse and completely dry your eartips before placing them back on your
headphones.

4. Carefully push the eartips back onto the urBeats

Renseignements de sécurité importants

Utilisation responsable

Pour éviter de subir des dommages auditifs, assurez-vous que le volume de
votre lecteur multimédia est réduit avant de brancher vos écouteurs. Après
avoir placé les écouteurs dans vos oreilles, augmentez graduellement le
volume jusqu’à un niveau d’écoute agréable. Les niveaux sonores sont
mesurés en décibels (dB). L’exposition à des bruits de 85dB ou plus peut
graduellement causer une perte auditive. Surveillez votre utilisation des
écouteurs; la perte auditive dépend du niveau sonore et de la durée de
l’écoute. Plus un son est fort, moins vous devez vous y exposer. Plus un son
est doux, plus longtemps vous pouvez l’écouter.
