combustible materials or chemical products.

• Turn off when near explosive materials.

1.3 Interferences All phones and devices with wireless signal transmission are subject to interferences that may affect the

performance of the device connected to them. These interferences are not ascribable to a defect of the N-Com system.

1.4 Appropriate use Use the device only in the normal position, as described in the product documentation. Do not attempt to

disassemble, tamper with, or modify any part of the N-Com system.

: Adjust the volume of the N-Com system and of the audio sources connected to it before you use the

• When disconnecting the power supply cable of any accessory or of the battery charger, always grab and

pull the plug, not the cable.

• Do not use batteries for purposes other than the prescribed ones.

• Never use batteries or battery chargers that turn out to be damaged.

• Do not short-circuit the battery.

• Keep the battery at a temperature between 0° / +45°C (charging): -20° / +60°C (in use).

• Danger of fire or explosion: do not throw the batteries into a fire or expose them to high temperatures!

• Do not throw out batteries together with household refuse. The batteries should be disposed of in

compliance with local regulations

• Do not wear the helmet while the battery is recharging.

• The helmet should never be left within the reach of unsupervised children in order to prevent damage to

their health caused by access to the batteries.
