or under -20°(-4°F). For maximum battery capacity, use the battery in room
temperature. If the battery is used in low temperatures, the battery capacity
will be reduced. The battery can only be charged in temperatures between
+10°(+50°F) and +45°(+113°F). For your safety, do not remove the battery

Limited Warranty
Avoiding hearing damage
Permanent hearing loss may occur if you use your Headset at a 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
muffl ed 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 Headset at high volume.
• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
• Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.
For information about how to set a maximum volume limit on your handset,
please refer to the features guide for your handset.
Using Headsets safely
Use of Headsets to listen to music while operating a vehicle is not recommended
and is illegal in some areas.
Be careful and attentive while driving. Stop using this device if you fi nd it
disruptive or distracting while operating any type of vehicle or performing any
other activity that requires your full attention.
