Important Safety Information
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE DOCUMENT CAREFULLY, BECAUSE IT
CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE SAFE USE OF
BLUEANT DEVICES
WARNING PROTECT YOUR
HEARING
ALL BLUEANT DEVICES ARE
DESIGNED TO REACH VOLUMES OF
UP TO 100 DECIBELS. PROLONGED
USE OF A BLUEANT DEVICE AT HIGH
VOLUMES MAY AFFECT YOUR HEARING
CAPACITY. USE FOR EXTENSIVE
PERIODS MAY RESULT IN NOISE
INDUCED HEARING LOSS NIHL. TURN
OFF THE POWER TO YOUR DEVICE
WHEN NOT IN USE.
• Hearing loss may occur if a headset is used at maximum volumes for more than 5
minutes per day, or at medium volumes for more than 1 hour per day.
• Exposure to sound at close range such as via an ear piece in your ear may result
in hearing loss, even at low levels.
Do not listen at high volumes. Remember that your ears will adapt to the volume
level and if you change to higher levels your ear may feel no discomfort but damage
to your hearing may be occurring.
BlueAnt Recommends That You:
• Set the volume control in a low position before putting the headset or headphones
on your ears.
• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or headphones at high volume.
• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
• Turn the volume down if you cannot hear people speaking near you.
Should you experience any discomfort after using the product, stop using it
immediately. If the problem persists seek medical assistance immediately.
CHOKING HAZARD
YOUR BLUEANT DEVICE, ITS
PACKAGING, AND PACKAGE
CONTENTS MAY CONTAIN PARTS
THAT MAY BE A CHOKING HAZARD TO
SMALL CHILDREN.
Please ensure that the device and any associated
components such as ear gels or chargers are stored
safely and that any packaging or unwanted contents are
disposed of thoughtfully. Do not place the product on the
fl oor or leave it in a place where young children could
access it, or someone could trip over it.
Using Ear Gels
Your BlueAnt headset will come with ear gels or foam tips that are designed to
provide a secure fi t in your ear while providing high quality audio.
• Ear gels and tips are designed to sit comfortably in your ear and should not be
forced into your ear at any time. If you have trouble fi tting the ear gel or foam
please refer to the owner’s manual for correct insertion and usage information.
• Always make sure that the ear gel or foam is fi tted securely to your device before
placing it in your ear.
WARNING
NOTE THAT NONCOMPLIANCE,
MISUSE OR FORCING THE EAR GEL OR
FOAM MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR
EAR CANAL OR EARDRUM, OR MAY
OTHERWISE CAUSE BODILY HARM.
Smart Practices While Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices and accessories such
as your BlueAnt device in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. DO NOT
USE MOBILE DEVICES AND ACCESSORIES IN AREAS WHERE THEIR
USE IS PROHIBITED. ENSURE THAT YOUR USE COMPLIES WITH ANY
RESTRICTIONS.
Your BlueAnt device lets you communicate by voice when wireless service is
available and safe conditions allow. When driving a car, driving is your fi rst
responsibility.
If you choose to use your Bluetooth device while driving, remember the following
tips:
• Get to know your BlueAnt device and its features such as speed dial and redial.
These features help you to place your call without taking your attention off the
road.
• If you receive an incoming call at an inconvenient time, let your voice mail answer
it for you.
• Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the
call in heavy traffi c or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and
heavy traffi c can be hazardous.
• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Remember that your
primary responsibility is driving safely.
• Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting.
Make people you are talking to aware you are driving and suspend conversations
that can divert your attention away from the road.
• In the case of fi re, traffi c accidents, medical or other serious emergencies, dial
the local emergency number.
• Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless assistance number
when necessary.
Care and Handling
Your BlueAnt Bluetooth device is a precision engineered instrument. To ensure its
ongoing performance, you should look after it as you would any quality consumer
electronic product, and use it in accordance with the instructions.
BlueAnt recommends that you take the following precautions.
• Avoid leaving your device in direct sunlight, such as on the dashboard or console
of a car or truck. Do not leave your device unattended in your vehicle.
• Do not leave your device, or use your device, in any area where the temperature
may exceed 60 degrees Centigrade (140 degrees Fahrenheit), such as inside a
closed car on a hot day. Remember that on a hot day the temperature inside a
closed car may be signifi cantly higher than the outside air temperature.
• Do not leave your device, or use your device, in any area where the temperature is
likely to drop below 0 degrees Centigrade (32 degrees Fahrenheit).
• Do not leave your device, or use your device, in any area exposed to humidity,
dust, soot, other foreign objects, smoke, or steam as this may cause your device
to malfunction.
• Do not use any household or industrial grade detergents or cleaners to clean your
device. If your device becomes dirty or smeared, in most instances a wipe with a
dry or slightly damp cloth should be suffi cient to clean it.
• Do not leave your Bluetooth device plugged into a wall or car charger for long
periods after it is fully charged. BlueAnt does not recommend long periods of
continued charging.
• Before charging your BlueAnt device, make sure that the AC outlet, adaptor
and cable are not damaged. If you notice any abnormalities, seek advice from a
qualifi ed professional.
• Your BlueAnt device is not waterproof and should be removed and placed in a dry
area in the event of being exposed to any drizzle, rain or water.
• If traveling internationally, ensure that your BlueAnt wall or car power adapter
is approved for use in the country where you plan to use it and that the adapter
voltage is suited to the local power supply.
• Should a fault develop with your BlueAnt product, contact BlueAnt for advice on
how to proceed. Do not attempt to repair or alter any BlueAnt product yourself.
Approved Accessories
The use of accessories not approved by BlueAnt, including but not limited to
batteries, antennas, wall adapters, car chargers, ear gels and foam tips and
convertible covers, may cause your BlueAnt device to malfunction or in the case
of non-approved electrical accessories may cause the device to exceed RF energy
exposure guidelines.
Use of non approved accessories will void your device’s warranty. For a list of
approved BlueAnt accessories, visit our website at: www.blueantwireless.com
Electromagnetic Interference
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI)
if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise confi gured for electromagnetic
compatibility.
Similar to a mobile phone, your BlueAnt device is a low power transmitter / receiver
and is covered by regulations pertaining to such devices. Turn off your BlueAnt
device in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so. These facilities
may include hospitals or health care facilities that may be using equipment that is
sensitive to external RF energy.
• When instructed to do so, turn off your BlueAnt device when on board an
aircraft. Any use of a mobile device must be in accordance with applicable laws,
regulations and airline crew instructions.
• Some Bluetooth devices may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of
such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer or
physician to discuss alternatives.
• If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your
device to determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy. Your doctor or
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
• If you are in doubt about whether your BlueAnt device or mobile phone can be
safely turned on or used, please consult an authorized person in the location
you want to use your BlueAnt device. If no authorized person is available or you
remain uncertain, BlueAnt recommends that you turn off your Bluetooth device
and any mobile phones unless they are required in an emergency situation.

SURE DES APPAREILS BLUEANT
PROTÉGEZ VOS OREILLES
TOUS LES PRODUITS BLUEANT SONT CONÇUS DE
MANIÈRE À ATTEINDRE DES VOLUMES ALLANT
JUSQU’À 100 DÉCIBELS. L’UTILISATION PROLONGÉE À
VOLUMES ÉLEVÉS PEUT AFFECTER VOTRE CAPACITÉ
AUDITIVE. L’UTILISATION PENDANT DES PÉRIODES
PROLONGÉES PEUT ENTRAÎNER UNE PERTE AUDITIVE
PROVOQUÉE PAR LE BRUIT. ÉTEINDRE L’APPAREIL
LORSQU’IL N’EST PAS UTILISÉ.
• Une perte auditive peut survenir si un casque d’écoute est utilisé à volume maximum
pendant plus de 5 minutes par jour ou à volume moyen pendant plus d’une heure
par jour.
• L’exposition à un son de source rapprochée, notamment par un écouteur placé dans
votre oreille, peut entraîner une perte auditive, même à bas niveau.
N’écoutez pas à volumes élevés. N’oubliez pas que vos oreilles s’adapteront au niveau
sonore et que, si vous passez à des niveaux plus élevés, il se peut que vos oreilles ne
ressentent aucun malaise, ce qui n’empêchera pas l’atteinte de votre capacité auditive.
BlueAnt vous recommande de faire ce qui suit :
• Mettez le réglage sonore à basse position avant de placer le casque d’écoute ou les
écouteurs sur vos oreilles.
• Limitez le temps de votre utilisation du casque d’écoute ou d’écouteurs à volumes
élevés.
• Évitez de hausser le volume pour assourdir les environnements bruyants.
• Baissez le volume si vous ne pouvez pas entendre les personnes qui parlent près
de vous.
Si vous faites l’expérience de tout malaise après avoir utilisé le produit, cessez de
l’utiliser immédiatement. Si le problème persiste sollicitez une assistance médicale
immédiatement.
DANGER DE SUFFOCATION

Votre appareil BlueAnt vous permet de communiquer vocalement où le service sans fi l
est offert et dans le respect de la sécurité. Lorsque vous conduisez une automobile, la
conduite est votre première responsabilité.
Si vous choisissez d’utiliser votre appareil BlueAnt en conduisant, observez les conseils
suivants:
• Apprenez à connaître votre appareil BlueAnt et ses fonctions telles que la
composition rapide et le rappel. Ces fonctions vous aident à effectuer un appel sans
détourner votre attention de la route.
• Si vous recevez un appel d’arrivée à un moment inopportun, laissez votre messagerie
vocale répondre pour vous.
• Dites à votre interlocuteur que vous conduisez; au besoin, suspendez l’appel si la

Soins et manutention
Votre appareil BlueAnt Bluetooth est un instrument de précision. Pour maintenir
sa performance, vous devez en prendre soin comme vous le feriez avec tout produit
électronique grand public de qualité et l’utiliser conformément aux instructions.
BlueAnt vous recommande de prendre les précautions suivantes :
• Évitez de laisser votre appareil à la lumière solaire directe, notamment sur le tableau
de bord ou sur la console d’une voiture ou d’un camion. Ne laissez pas votre appareil
sans surveillance dans votre véhicule.
• Ne laissez pas ou n’utilisez pas votre appareil là où la température peut dépasser
60 °C (140 °F), notamment à l’intérieur d’une voiture fermée une journée chaude.
N’oubliez pas que, par temps chaud, la température à l’intérieur d’une voiture fermée
peut être sensiblement plus élevée que la température de l’air à l’extérieur.
• Ne laissez pas ou n’utilisez pas votre appareil là où la température est susceptible de
chuter à moins de 0 °C (32 °F).
• Ne laissez pas ou n’utilisez pas votre appareil dans un endroit exposé à l’humidité, à
la poussière, à la suie, à d’autres corps étrangers, à la fumée ou à la vapeur, car ceci
peut causer un défaut de fonctionnement de votre appareil.
• N’utilisez aucun détersif ou nettoyant ménager ou industriel pour nettoyer votre
appareil. Si votre appareil devient sale ou taché, il vous suffi t dans la plupart des cas
de l’essuyer à l’aide d’un chiffon sec ou légèrement humide pour le nettoyer.
• Ne laissez pas votre appareil Bluetooth branché dans un chargeur mural ou un
chargeur de voiture longtemps après une charge complète. BlueAnt ne recommande
pas de longues périodes de charge continue.
• Avant de charger votre appareil BlueAnt, assurez-vous que la prise c.a., l’adaptateur
et le câble ne sont pas endommagés. Sollicitez les conseils d’un professionnel
qualifi é si vous remarquez quelque anomalie que ce soit.
• Votre appareil BlueAnt n’est pas étanche à l’eau, et il doit être retiré et placé dans un

Interférence électromagnétique
Presque chaque appareil électronique est susceptible d’interférence électromagnétique
(EMI) s’il est inadéquatement protégé, conçu ou confi guré par ailleurs pour la
compatibilité électromagnétique.
Tout comme un téléphone mobile, votre appareil BlueAnt est un émetteur-récepteur
à basse puissance, et il est régi par les règlements ayant trait à ces appareils. Mettez
votre appareil BlueAnt à l’arrêt dans tout établissement où des avis affi chés vous prient
de le faire. Ces établissements comprennent les hôpitaux ou les établissements de
soins de santé qui sont susceptibles d’utiliser des équipements sensibles à l’énergie
radioélectrique externe.
• Lorsqu’on vous prie de le faire, mettez votre appareil BlueAnt à l’arrêt à bord d’un
avion. Toute utilisation d’un appareil mobile doit être conforme aux lois, règlements
applicables et aux consignes de l’équipage de l’avion.
• Certains appareils Bluetooth peuvent entraver le fonctionnement de certaines
prothèses auditives. Dans l’hypothèse d’une telle interférence, il vous sera peut-être
opportun de consulter le fabricant de votre prothèse auditive ou votre médecin pour
discuter des choix qui s’offrent à vous.
• Si vous utilisez tout autre appareil médical personnel, consultez le fabricant de
votre appareil afi n de déterminer s’il est adéquatement protégé contre l’énergie
radioélectrique. Votre docteur ou médecin peut être en mesure de vous aider à
obtenir ces informations.
• Si vous n’êtes pas certain(e) de pouvoir mettre votre téléphone mobile ou appareil
BlueAnt en marche ou l’utiliser en toute sécurité, veuillez consulter une personne
autorisée à l’emplacement où vous voulez utiliser votre appareil BlueAnt. Si aucune
personne autorisée n’est disponible ou si vous demeurez incertain(e), BlueAnt vous
recommande de mettre votre appareil Bluetooth et tout téléphone mobile à l’arrêt à
moins qu’ils ne soient nécessaires dans une situation d’urgence.
