Pr
eventing damage to health an

왘 Protect your hearing from high volume levels. Permanent hearing dam-
age may occur when headphones are used a
t high volume levels for
long periods of time. Sennheiser headphones sound exceptionally good
at low and medium volume levels.
왘 Keep the headphones at least 10 cm/3.94” from cardiac pacemakers or
i
mpl
anted defibrillators. The headphones contain magnets that gener-
ate a magnetic field which could cause interference with cardiac pace-
makers and implanted defibrillators.
왘 Keep the product, accessories and pac
ka
ging parts out of reach of chil-
dren and pets to prevent accidents and choking hazards.
왘 Do not use the product in situations which require special attention
(e.g. in
traffic or when performing skilled jobs).
Preventing damage to the product and malfunctions
왘 Always keep the product dry and do not expose it to
extreme tempera-
tures to avoid corrosion or deformation. The normal operating tem-
perature is from 0 to 40 °C/32 to 104 °F.
왘 Use only attachments/accessories/spare parts sup
plied or re

mended by Sennheiser.
왘 Unplug the power supply unit from the AC

왘 Varnish or furniture polish may degrade the feet of the transmitter,
which co
uld stain your furniture. You should therefore place the trans-
mitter on a non-splip pad to avoid potential staining of furniture.
왘 Do not place your headphones on a g
las
s dummy head, chair armrest or
similar objects for long periods as this can widen the headband and
reduce the contact pressure of the headphones.
