Safety Information

Please read this owner's and product

guide

Reading this

guide

will

ensure proper and safe use

of

your

Soul®

headphones.

Follow all

operation guidelines and adhere

to

all

safety

warnings and cautions.

~Warning

Use

your

headphones responsibly. Exposure

to

excessively

loud

noise can cause Noise

Induced

Hearing

Loss

(NIHL). liThe loudness

of

sound

is

measured in units

called

decibels. For example,

the

humming

of

a refrigerator

is

40

decibels, normal conversation

is

approxi-

mately 60 decibels, and city traffic noise can be 85 decibels. Sources

of

noise

that

can cause

NIHL include motorcycles,

firecrackers, and

small

firearms,

all

emitting

sounds

from

120

to

150

decibels. Long

or

repeated exposure

to

sounds at

or

above

85

decibels can cause

hearing

loss.

The louder

the

sound,

the

shorter

the

time

period before

NIHL

can occur. Sounds

of

less

than

75

decibels, even after long

exposure, are

unlikely

to

cause hearing

loss:'

Before

plugging

your

Soul®

headphones

into

your

phone

or

multimedia device, make sure

that

the

volume

has

been set

to

zero

(0)

and

the

power

is

off.

Once

you have

turned

on

the

device, increase

the

volume

to

a safe and comfortable

level. Putting on

your

headphones

and

turning

on at

full

volume

may cause damage

to

your

hearing.

Keep headphones

out

of

reach

of

smai-1

children. These headphones are

not

a

toy

and

could be

harmful

to

small

children.

Noise-cancelling headphones make

it

hard

to

hear outside low-pitched sounds.

Take

care

to

recognize warning beeps and

other

audi-

tory

reminders; be aware

that

the

familiar

sound

of

these

alerts

may be changed

by

the

headphones.

Battery Precautions

• Keep batteries

out

of

the reach

of

children.

•

Use

only disposable AAA alkaline batteries.

• Do

not

use

rechargeable batteries.

·Observe correct polarity

as

marked.

• Remove depleted battery immediately.

•

Please

dispose

of

used batteries properly.

2

• Do

not

use

a leaking battery. If battery leakage occurs, avoid

contact

with

skin. If contact occurs, immediately wash

thoroughly

with

soap and water.

If

battery leakage comes into

contact

with

your

eyes,

immediately flush

with

water and seek

medical attention.

• Do

not

expose the battery

to

excessive heat.

DO

NOT

operate any

motor

vehicle

or

heavy

machinery

while

listening

to

or

wearing

your

headphones.

Doing

so

is

not

only

dangerous

to

you

or

others

but

illegal in

many

states. Listening

or

wearing headphones reduces

your

ability

to

hear sounds

around

you

such

as

emergency

vehicle sirens

or

the

horn

from

another

motorist.

3

It

is

not

recommended

to

use headphones when

cycling,

running

or

walking

in heavy traffic

areas,

where

your

full

attention

is

necessary

for

your safety. Always use

your

headphones responsibly in every situation.

Safety

Instructions

Read

all

instructions before using your headphones.

Always keep

the

instructions

for

future reference.

Adhere

to

all warnings, cautions and suggestions in this owner's and

product

guide.

Keep your headphones

dry

and prevent exposure

to

moisture

or

water.
