WARNING:

• Contains small parts which may be a choking hazard. Not suitable for children under age 3.

• This product contains magnets which can be harmful to pacemaker wearers.

• To reduce the risk of re or electrical shock, do not expose the

product to rain or moisture.

• Do not expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing, and do not place objects

lled with liquids, such as vases, on or near the apparatus. As with any elec-

tronic products, use care not to spill liquids into any part of the system. Liquids can cause a failure and/or a re hazard.

• Do not place any naked ame sources, such as lighted candles, on or near the

apparatus.

• Use caution when using your headset/headphones while operating a vehicle or

engaging in any activity that requires your full attention. Check and follow local

laws regarding mobile phone and headphone/headset use. Some jurisdictions

impose specic limitations, such as single earpiece conguration, on the use of

such products while driving.

• Sounds that you rely on as reminders or warnings may have an unfamiliar character when using headphones. Be aware of how these sounds may vary in character so you can recognize them as needed.

• DO NOT 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

warming sensation or loss of audio.

• Except in case of emergency, Bose recommends that you NOT use these

headphones as aviation communication headsets because:

- 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.

- The Bose® AE2w Bluetooth® headphones are not engineered for noise conditions, altitude, temperature or other environmental conditions common in non-commercial aircraft, resulting in possible interference to critical communications.

• Do not submerge or expose for extended period to water or wear while partici-

pating in water sports, i.e. swimming, waterskiing, surng, etc.

• Do not leave a battery on prolonged charge when not in use.

Bose Corporation hereby declares that this product is in compliance with the

essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC and all other applicable EU directive requirements. The complete declaration

of conformity can be found at: www.Bose.com/compliance.
