off.
• Align the poles ( and ) correctly when inserting the batteries.
• Do not mix different types of batteries or old and new batteries.
• Remove the batteries if you do not intend to use the unit for a long time.
• Do not heat or expose to flame.
• Do not leave the batteries in an automobile exposed to direct sunlight for a long period of time with

Care and use
g Allergies
Discontinue use if you experience discomfort with the earphones or any other parts that directly contact
your skin.
Continued use may cause rashes or other allergic reactions.
g Listening caution
Do not play your headphones or earphones at a high volume. Hearing
experts advise against continuous extended play.
You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
Even if your headphones or earphones are the open-air type designed to let you hear outside sounds,
don’t turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.
RQT8824
36
If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.
Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create a traffic
hazard and is illegal in many areas.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So
what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
• Leave it there.
This product may receive radio interference caused by mobile telephones or other products during
operation. If such interference is apparent, please increase separation between the product and the
mobile telephone or other product.
