Preventing health problems and accidents

Always maintain a distance of at least 3.94“ (10 cm) between the ear cups and the cardiac pacemaker or implanted defibrillator since the product generates permanent magnetic fields.

Keep product, accessory and packaging parts out of reach of children who could swallow smaller pieces.

Switch the product off after use to conserve battery power. Remove the rechargeable batteries if the product will not be used for extended periods of time.

If during flight operation you, as the pilot, operate your connected device using the headset, this can limit your attention. During flight operation, do not use the headset for making phone calls or listening to music.

The product is capable of producing sound pressure exceeding 85 dB(A). In many countries 85 dB(A) is the maximum legally permissible level for continuous noise exposure during the working day. Do not listen at high volume levels for long periods of time to prevent hearing damage.

Preventing damage to the product and dysfunctions

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.
