PROTECT YOURSELF

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 your ear(s), lower the volume or stop using the earphones or headphones.

•Battery shall not be exposed to excessive heat

such as sunshine, fire or the like.
