Thank You

Thank you for purchasing the Hisense HB650 Bluetooth®
Speaker. We hope you enjoy it! This instruction manual will

WARNING!

Speakerphones are capable of delivering sounds at
loud volumes and high pitched tones. Exposure to such
sounds can result in per manent hearing loss damage.
The volume level may vary based on conditions such
as the phone you are using, its reception and volume
settings, and the environment. Please read the safety
guidelines below prior to using this Speaker.

Safety Guidelines

Prior to using this product follow these steps:

1. Before using the speakerphone, turn the volume
control to its lowest level, use the speakerphone
in conversation, and then slowly adjust the volume
control to a comfortable level.

2. During the use of this product:
Keep the volume at the lowest level possible and

avoid using the speakerphone in noisy environments

using the speakerphone and consult a physician.
With continued use at high volume, your ears may
become accus tomed to the sound level, which may
result in permanent damage to your hearing without
any noticeable discomfort.

3. Drive Safely
Several studies have shown that cell phone usage
while driving creates a distraction to the driver which
may increase the likeli hood of an accident. This
distraction potential is not eliminated by the use
of a handsfree phone. Handsfree phones have not
been shown to be safer than hand-held phones with
respect to driver distraction. When using the phone
while driving, keep con versations shor t and resist
any temptation to make notes or read documents.
Before answering calls consider your circumstances.
Pull off the road and park before making or answering
calls when driving conditions require (e.g.bad weather,
high traffic density, presence of children in the car,
difficult junctions or maneuvers)

REMEMBER; DRIVING COMES FIRST, NOT THE CALL!
