Important (for models supplied with
headphones):
Philips guarantees compliance with the
maximum sound power of its audio players
as determined by relevant regulatory bodies,
but only with the original model of provided
headphones. If these headphones need
replacement, we recommend that you contact
your retailer to order a Philips model identical
to that of the original.
Small children
Your device and its enhancements may contain
small parts. Keep them out of the reach of small
children.
Operating environment
This device meets RF exposure guidelines
when used either in the normal use position
against the ear or when positioned at least 2.2
centimetres (7/8 inch) away from the body.
When a carry case, belt clip, or holder is used
for body-worn operation, it should not contain
metal and should position the device the abovestated distance from your body.
Parts of the device are magnetic. Metallic
materials may be attracted to the device. Do
not place credit cards or other magnetic storage
media near the device, because information
stored on them may be erased.
Medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment
may interfere with the functionality of
inadequately protected medical devices. Consult
a physician or the manufacturer of the medical
device to determine if they are adequately
shielded from external RF energy or if you have
any questions. Switch o your device in health
care facilities when any regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or
health care facilities may be using equipment
Important1
Philips reserves the right to change products at
any time without being obliged to adjust earlier
supplies accordingly.
The material in this manual is believed
adequate for the intended use of the system.
If the product, or its individual modules or
procedures, are used for purposes other than
those specified herein, confirmation of their
validity and suitability must be obtained.
Safety
To avoid a short circuit, do not expose the •
product to rain or water.
Do not expose the device to excessive heat •
caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight.
Protect the cables from being pinched, •
particularly at plugs and the point where they
exit from the unit.
All wireless devices may be susceptible to •
interference, which could aect performance.
Back up your files. Philips is not responsible •
for any loss of data.
Hearing safety
Observe the following guidelines when using
your headphones:
Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable •
periods of time.
Be careful not to adjust the volume higher as •
your hearing adapts.
Do not turn up the volume so high that you •
can’t hear what’s around you.
You should use caution or temporarily discon-•
tinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
Do not use headphones while operating a •
motorized vehicle, cycling, or skateboarding,
etc. It may create a trac hazard and is illegal
in many areas.

the device. Check regularly that all wireless
device equipment in your vehicle is mounted
and operating properly. Do not store or carry
flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials
in the same compartment as the device, its
parts, or enhancements. For vehicles equipped
with an air bag, remember that air bags inflate
with great force.
Using your device while flying in aircraft is
prohibited. Switch o your device before
boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless
teledevices in an aircraft may be dangerous
to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the
wireless telephone network, and may be illegal.
Potentially explosive environments
Switch o your device when in any area with
a potentially explosive atmosphere, and obey
all signs and instructions. Potentially explosive
atmospheres include areas where you would
normally be advised to turn o your vehicle
engine. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or
even death. Switch o the device at refuelling
points such as near gas pumps at service
stations. Observe restrictions on the use of
radio equipment in fuel depots, storage, and
distribution areas; chemical plants; or where
blasting operations are in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere
are often, but not always, clearly marked. They
include below deck on boats, chemical transfer
or storage facilities and areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles such as grain,
dust, or metal powders. You should check with
the manufacturers of vehicles using liquefied
petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) to
determine if this device can be safely used in
their vicinity.
Compliance with EMF
Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. manufactures
and sells many products targeted at consumers,
which, like any electronic apparatus, in
that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Implanted medical devices
Manufacturers of medical devices recommend
that a minimum separation of 15.3 centimetres
(6 inches) should be maintained between a
wireless device and an implanted medical device,
such as a pacemaker or implanted cardioverter
defibrillator, to avoid potential interference
with the medical device. Persons who have such
devices should:
Always keep the wireless device more than •
15.3 centimetres (6 inches) from the medical
device when the wireless device is turned on.
Not carry the wireless device in a breast •
pocket.
Turn the wireless device o immediately •
if there is any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
Read and follow the directions from the •
manufacturer of their implanted medical
device.
If you have any questions about using your
wireless device with an implanted medical
device, consult your health care provider.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless devices may interfere
with some hearing aids. If interference occurs,
consult your service provider.
Vehicles
RF signals may aect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic systems in
motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection
systems, electronic antiskid (antilock) braking
systems, electronic speed control systems, and
air bag systems. For more information, check
with the manufacturer, or its representative, of
your vehicle or any equipment that has been
added.
Only qualified personnel should service the
device or install the device in a vehicle. Faulty
installation or service may be dangerous and
may invalidate any warranty that may apply to

The SpeechMike uses wireless technology
to make a connection between the dictation
microphone and the docking station.
A wireless connection does not require that the
dictation microphone and the docking station
be in line of sight, but the maximum distance
between the devices is 10 meters (33 feet). The
closer the devices are to each other, the better
is the performance. The optimal operating range
is shown in dark grey in the picture. The
connection is subject to interference from
distance and obstructions (shown in light grey)
or other electronic devices.
