5Do not expose the headset to water.

6Clean only with a dry cloth.

7Do not plug in the wall charger near any heat sources such as radiators,

heat registers, stoves, or other chargers that produce heat.

8Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type

plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A

grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The

wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the

provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for

replacement of the obsolete outlet.

13 To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the charger to

rain, moisture, dripping, or splashing.

14 An apparatus with a three-prong, grounding-type plug is a Class I

apparatus, which needs to be grounded to prevent possible electric

shock. Make sure that you connect this Class I device to a

grounding-type, three-prong outlet.

15 In order to charge your headset correctly, the wall outlet must be in

correct working condition.
