USB Cable

Câble USB

AVERTISSEMENT : Le câble USB peuvent représenter un risque d’étranglement. Tenez-les hors de portée des enfants de moins de 3 ans. En tirant sur le câble USB, un

enfant peut causer la chute de l’écran de l’ordinateur, de la télévision ou d’un autre appareil connecté à ce dispositif et provoquer des risques de dommages matériels, de blessures graves, voire même la mort. L’enfant ne devrait jouer avec le produit que lorsque le câble USB est débranché et que le couvercle du compartiment à piles est bien en place.

Protect Your Child’s Hearing

Long-term exposure to loud sounds, at high volume, may result in permanent

hearing loss. Set the volume while in a quiet environment; turn the volume down if user cannot hear people speaking nearby. Limit the listening time to 90 minutes, followed by a quiet period. The louder the volume, the less time required before user’s hearing may be affected. If user experiences ringing in his/her ears or hears muffled speech, stop listening and have hearing checked. Do not hold or place product near the ears.

Protégez l’ouïe de votre enfant

Une exposition durable à des sons trop forts peut entraîner une perte définitive

de l’ouïe. Réglez le volume lorsque vous êtes dans un endroit calme et baissez-le si vous n’entendez pas les personnes qui parlent autour de vous. Limitez le temps d’écoute à 90 minutes, puis accordez-vous un moment de tranquillité. Plus le volume est élevé, plus il y a de chances que votre ouïe soit rapidement touchée. En cas de bourdonnement dans les oreilles ou si vous entendez des voix sourdes, arrêtez immédiatement d’écouter ce produit et faites contrôler votre ouïe dans les plus brefs délais. Ne tenez pas ou ne placez pas le produit près de vos oreilles.

CAUTION: Routinely check this product for proper and safe condition. If there is

any damage or broken parts, remove product from use.
