Important Safety Information
Avoid Hearing Damage
WARNING:  Permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones are 
used at high volume. Set the volume to a safe level. You can 
adapt over time to a higher volume of sound that may sound 
normal but can be damaging to your hearing. If you experience 
ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and have 
your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the less time is 
required before your hearing could be affected. Hearing experts 
suggest that to protect your hearing: 
  
 Limit the amount of time you use the earphones at  
high volume.
  
 Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
  
 Turn down the volume if you can’t hear people speaking 
near you.
For information about how to set a maximum volume limit, see 
the user guide for your iPod, iPhone, or iPad.
WARNING:  To prevent possible hearing damage, do not 
listen at high volume levels for long periods.
Keep Out of Reach of Children
WARNING:  The small parts included with this product can  
be a choking hazard. This product is not intended for use by 
small children and should be kept away from children  
under 3 years of age.

Avoid Electrostatic ShockWhen using headphones in areas where the air is very dry, it is easy  
to build up static electricity and possible for your ear to receive  
a small electrostatic discharge from the headphones. To minimize 
the risk of electrostatic discharge from the headphones, avoid 
using the headphones in extremely dry environments, or touch  
a grounded unpainted metal object before inserting the headphones.
