왘Always include this instruction manual when passing the product on to third

parties.

왘This instruction manual is also available on the Internet at

Preventing health problems and accidents

왘Always maintain a distance of at least 3.94“ (10 cm) between the ear cups and

the cardiac pacemaker or implanted defibrillator since the product generates

permanent magnetic fields.

many countries 85 dB(A) is the maximum legally permissible level for contin-

uous noise exposure during the working day. Do not listen at high volume
