BCGA2295Beats Flex - All-Day Wireless Earphones

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Handle Beats Flex with care. Beats Flex contains sensitive electronic components, including a battery, and can be damaged, impair functionality, or cause injury if dropped, burned, punctured, crushed, disassembled, or if exposed to excessive heat or liquid or to environments having high concentrations of industrial chemicals, including near evaporating liquified gasses such as helium. Don’t use a damaged Beats Flex. Bluetooth ® To turn off Bluetooth ® on Beats Flex, press the power button. Batteries Don’t attempt to replace the Beats Flex battery yourself—you may damage the battery, which could cause overheating and injury. Charging Charge Beats Flex with the charging cable and a power adapter or computer. Only charge with an adapter that is compliant with applicable country regulations and international and regional safety standards, including the International Standard for Safety of Information Technology Equipment (IEC 60950-1). Other adapters may not meet applicable safety standards, and charging with such adapters could pose a risk of death or injury. Using damaged cables or chargers, or charging when moisture is present, can cause fire, electric shock, injury, or damage to Beats Flex or other property. Prolonged heat exposure Avoid prolonged skin contact with a device, its power adapter, and the charging cable and connector when plugged into a power source, because it may cause discomfort or injury. For example, while Beats Flex is charging using the charging cable and a power adapter, don’t sit or sleep on the device, charging cable, connector, or power adapter, or place them under a blanket, pillow, or your body. Take special care if you have a physical condition that affects your ability to detect heat against your body. Hearing loss Listening to sound at high volumes may permanently damage your hearing. Background noise, as well as continued exposure to high volume levels, can make sounds seem quieter than they actually are. Check the volume before inserting Beats Flex in your ear. For more information about hearing loss and how to set a maximum volume limit, see www.apple.com/sound. The b logo, beats and beats flex are trademarks of Beats Electronics, LLC.

Driving hazard Use of Beats Flex while operating a vehicle is not recommended and is illegal in some areas. Check and obey the applicable laws and regulations on the use of earphones while operating a vehicle. Be careful and attentive while driving. Stop listening to your audio device if you find it disruptive or distracting while operating any type of vehicle or performing any activity that requires your full attention. Choking hazard The small parts included with Beats Flex may present a choking hazard or cause other injury to small children. Keep them away from small children. Medical device interference Beats Flex contains components and radios that emit electromagnetic fields. Beats Flex also contains magnets. These electromagnetic fields and magnets may interfere with pacemakers, defibrillators, or other medical devices. Maintain a safe distance of separation between your medical device and Beats Flex. Consult your physician and medical device manufacturer for information specific to your medical device. Stop using Beats Flex if you suspect it is interfering with your pacemaker, defibrillator, or any other medical device. Skin irritation Earphones can lead to ear infections if not properly cleaned. Clean Beats Flex regularly with a soft lint-free cloth. Don’t get moisture in any openings, or use aerosol sprays, solvents, or abrasives. If a skin problem develops, discontinue use. If the problem persists, consult a physician. Electrostatic shock When using Beats Flex in areas where the air is very dry, it is easy to build up static electricity and possible for your ears to receive a small electrostatic discharge from Beats Flex. To minimize the risk of electrostatic discharge avoid using Beats Flex in extremely dry environments, or touch a grounded unpainted metal object before inserting Beats Flex.

 Apple Inc. One Apple Park Way Cupertino, CA v1.0 www.apple.com Date: September 11th , 2020 Federal Communications Commission Office of Engineering and Technology Laboratory Division 7435 Oakland Mills Rd. Columbia MD 21046 Subject: Request for Confidentiality Ref: FCC ID numbers Model FCC ID A2295 BCGA2295 To whom it may concern: Pursuant to the provisions of Sections 0.457 and 0.459 of the Commission’s rules (47 CFR §§ 0.457, 0.459), Apple Inc. hereby requests confidential treatment for documents filed with the Commission in connection with the application for equipment authorization referenced above. Permanent Confidentiality Apple Inc. requests that the Commission withholds the following documents from public viewing indefinitely: • Block Diagrams • Electrical Schematic Diagrams • Technical Descriptions, Product Specifications • Antenna Gain, Antenna Locations These documents reveal detailed technical and design information that is protected by Apple Inc. as confidential and proprietary trade secrets. This information has been disclosed to those required to maintain its confidentiality and is not customarily disclosed to the public even after commercial release of a device. As a result, disclosure of this information by the Commission would harm Apple Inc. by giving competitors an unfair advantage even after commercial release of the device.  Apple Inc. One Apple Park Way Cupertino, CA v1.0 www.apple.com Short Term Confidentiality In addition to the above mentioned documents, pursuant to Public Notice DA 04-1705 of the Commission’s policy, in order to comply with the marketing regulations in 47 CFR §2.803 and the importation rules in 47 CFR §2.1204, while ensuring that business sensitive information remains confidential until the actual marketing of newly authorized devices, Apple Inc. requests that the Commission withholds the following documents from public viewing for one hundred eighty days after the date the grant of equipment authorization is issued: • External Photographs • Internal Photographs • Test Setup Photographs • User Manual These documents reveal technical and design information that has not been publicly disclosed in marketing materials and is protected by Apple Inc. as confidential and proprietary trade secrets. This information has been disclosed to those required to maintain its confidentiality and is not customarily disclosed publicly prior to the commercial release of the device. As a result, disclosure of this information by the Commission prior to commercial release would harm Apple Inc. by giving competitors an unfair market advantage. Apple Inc. believes the period of confidentiality requested is necessary to protect the information until the commercial release of a device. It is our understanding that measurement test reports and FCC ID label format cannot be granted as confidential documents and this information will be available for public review once the grant of equipment authorization is issued.
