Important safety instructions
Read this instruction manual carefully and completely before using the product.
Always include this instruction manual when passing the product on to third parties.
Do not use the product if it is obviously defective or makes loud, unusual (whistling or beeping) noise.
Only use the product in environments where Bluetooth® wireless transmission is permitted.
Protect your hearing from high volume levels. Permanent hearing damage may occur when headphones are used at high volume levels for long periods of time. Sennheiser
headphones sound exceptionally good at low and medium volume levels.
Do not insert the earphones too deep into your ears and never insert them without ear adapters. Always remove the earphones slowly and carefully from your ears.
The product generates stronger permanent magnetic fields that could cause interference with cardiac pacemakers, implanted defibrillators (ICDs) and other
implants. Always maintain a distance of at least 3.94"/10 cm between the product component containing the magnet (earbuds and charging case) and the cardiac pacemaker, implanted defibrillator, or other implant.
Keep the product, accessories and packaging parts out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidents. Swallowing and choking hazard.
Do not use the product in an environment that requires your special attention (e.g. in traffic). Especially the product’s active noise cancellation can make ambient noise inaudible or drastically change the perception of acoustic warning signals.
Always keep the product dry and do not expose it to extreme temperatures (hairdryer, heater, extended exposure to sunlight, etc.) to avoid corrosion or deformation. The normal operating temperature is from 0 °C to 40 °C/32 °F to 104 °F.
To avoid loud, unusual (whistling or beeping) noise and to ensure proper noise cancellation, do not cover the microphone openings of the active noise cancellation circuitry located on the outside of the earbuds.
Use only attachments/accessories/spare parts supplied or recommended by Sennheiser.
Clean the product only with a soft, dry cloth.
