1.1.5 Legal restrictions on recording

Observe the following guidelines when using headphones:

• Set the volume to a moderate level and do not use headphones to listen for excessively long periods of time.

• Be particularly careful to avoid adjusting the volume to a level that your hearing cannot deal with.

1.1.4 Maximum sound power

• The manufacturer guarantees compliance with the maximum sound power of its audio players as determined by relevant regulatory bodies, but only with the original model of headphones supplied. If you need to replace these headphones, we recommend contacting your dealer to order the respective original Philips model.

• The use of the device's recording function is subject to the legal restrictions that may apply in your country. You should also respect the privacy and personal rights of the third parties if you record talks or lectures.
