PROTECT YOURSELF

• Do not disassemble, repair, or modify this product on your own.

• Do not get the product wet or drop it in water. If the product gets wet, do not

switch it on because you could get an electric shock.

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, fire or the like.
