IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Please read and keep all safety and use instructions.

• Do NOT 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 in/on your ears, then turn the volume up

gradually until you reach a comfortable listening level.

• Do NOT use your headphones while driving or at any time the inability to hear surrounding sounds may present a
danger to yourself or others.

• 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 trac, a construction site or railroad, etc. Remove
the headphones or adjust your volume to ensure you can hear surrounding sounds, including alarms and
warning signals.

• Do NOT use mobile phone adapters to connect headphones to airplane seat jacks, as this could result in injury or
property damage due to overheating.

• Remove and disconnect immediately if you experience a warming sensation or loss of audio.

• Do NOT

expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing, and do not place objects filled with liquids such as vases, on or
near the apparatus. As with any electronic products, use care not to spill liquids into any part of the system. Exposure
to liquids may create a failure and/or fire hazard.

• Do NOT submerge or expose for extended period to water, or wear while participating in water sports, i.e. swimming,
waterskiing, surfing, etc.

• Do NOT 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 takeo and climb out.

– The Bose® SoundLink® around-ear wireless headphones II 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 place naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on or near the product.

• Do NOT make unauthorized alterations to the product; doing so may compromise safety, regulatory compliance,
system performance, and may void the warranty.

• The battery pack shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.

• In the event of a battery leaking, do not allow the liquid to come in contact with the skin or eyes. If contact has been
made, wash the aected area with copious amounts of water and seek medical advice.

• Batteries need to be charged before use. Always use the correct charger and refer to the manufacturer’s instructions
or equipment manual for proper charging instructions.

• Removal of the rechargeable lithium ion battery in this product should be conducted only by a qualified professional.
