You are strongly advised to set the volume level to
medium (the medium level is usually less than 2/3
of the maximum).
If you feel a ringing in the ear(s), lower the volume •
or stop using the earphones or headphones.
Battery shall not be exposed to excessive heat •
such as sunshine, fi re or the like.

95° F (35° C), such as a sauna or a parked car.
