Dear customer

Thank you for purchasing this product. Please read these instructions carefully before using this product, and save this manual for future use.

Key Features

♦ You can listen to music and make hands-free phone calls by

wirelessly connecting a Bluetooth

♦ Water resistant specifications (IPX4) allow the headset to be used

without worrying about rain or sweating during sports.

♦ Equipped with bone conduction

speakers, the headset lets you hear sounds from both the speakers and the surrounding environment.

♦ This headset is equipped with LED

illumination that emits light in response to its state and operation. The LED blinking pattern can be switched between two modes.

What are bone conduction headphones?

While ordinary headphones convey sounds through the eardrums, bone conduction headphones convey sounds by conducting vibrations directly to the auditory ossicles and cochlea through the skull.

Since they do not cover the ears, you can enjoy music coming from the headphones and still hear sounds from the surrounding environment. This feature reduces the strain on the eardrums as compared to ordinary headphones that cover the ears.

Cher client

Nous vous remercions d’avoir arrêté votre choix sur cet appareil. Il est recommandé de lire attentivement ce manuel avant d’utiliser l’appareil et de le conserver pour consultation ultérieure.

Fonctions essentielles

♦

Vous pouvez écouter de la musique et faire des appels téléphoniques mains-libres en vous connectant sans fil à un appareil Bluetooth

♦

La classe de résistance à l’eau (IPX4) vous permet d’utiliser le casque sans vous soucier de la pluie ou de la transpiration pendant votre activité sportive.

♦ Équipé de haut-parleurs à conduction

osseuse, ce casque vous permet d’écouter à la fois les sons des hautparleurs et de l’environnement.

♦ Ce casque comprend des témoins LED

qui s’allument selon son état et son fonctionnement. Deux modes de clignotement des LED sont possibles.

Qu’est-ce que le casque à conduction osseuse ?

Alors que le casque ordinaires transmettent le son par les tympans, le casque à conduction osseuse transmettent les vibrations directement aux osselets auditifs et à la cochlée par le crâne.

Puisqu’ils ne recouvrent pas les oreilles, l’auditeur peut profiter de la musique du casque tout en entendant les sons de l’environnement. Cette fonction réduit la charge sur les tympans par rapport au casque ordinaires recouvrant les oreilles.

(Important) À-propos de la résistance à l’eau

• Cet appareil possède des caractéristiques de résistance à l’eau satisfaisant à IPX4 selon IEC 60529. (IPX4 : protégé contre les projections d’eau) Le chargeur USB et la pile rechargeable fournis ne sont pas résistants à l’eau.

•

■

À-propos d’IPX4 (niveau de protection contre les projections de liquides)

La résistance à l’eau n’est pas toujours garantie en toutes circonstances.

Cet appareil peut fonctionner après une projection d’environ 1,8 L (0,5 gallons) / minute d’eau du robinet à température ambiante pendant 10 minutes de toutes les directions depuis la buse de robinet jusqu’à l’unité, à une distance d’env. 20 cm (8 pouces).

■

Liquides associés avec la résistance à l’eau

■

Précautions en cas d’utilisation près de l’eau (dans une cuisine, etc.)

Observez les mesures suivantes. Une utilisation incorrecte peut causer un dysfonctionnement.

• Fermez le couvercle de pile de façon ferme.
