The plastic bags and wrapping parts are not toys for children. The bags themselves or the
many small parts they contain may cause choking if ingested.
Only authorized dealers or service centers may open the product. If any parts require replacement for any reason, including normal wear and tear or breakage, contact your dealer.
• Never try to dismantle the product yourself. None of the internal components can be
replaced or repaired by users.
• Avoid exposing the product to rain or other liquids.
Dispose of the product according to local standards and regulations.
5. Declaration and Warranty
Cautionary Notes to Computer Users:
When using any headset with a computer, care should
be taken in dry or low humidity environments to
protect the user from electrostatic discharge from the
monitor (CRT). Computer monitors can induce a substantial electrostatic charge when turned on or off, or
when there is a power failure, and the resulting
electrostatic discharge can be passed through the
headset to ground. A user in close proximity to or
touching the computer may feel a common “shock”
sensation, similar to touching a door knob after walking across a carpet, causing no harm to the user. This
discharge is entirely due to the computer monitor, the
headset is merely the shortest path to ground.
To minimize the possibility of electrostatic
discharge through the headset, you can:
• Use a grounded screen in front of the monitor.
• Use static dissipative wrist straps.
• Increase the relative humidity in the room to 60%
or more.
• Install static dissipative carpets or floor covering.
• Remove the headset before turning the computer
on or off.
GN Netcom products meet OSHA, FCC and CSA standards.

and limit of GN Netcom obligation to the purchaser

Implied Warranty
Under state law, you may be entitled to the benefit of

Neither GN Netcom nor your retail dealer or selling distributor has any responsibility for any incident or consequential damages including, without limitation, commercial loss, or for any incidental expenses, loss of
time, or inconvenience. Some states do not allow the
