P reventing damage to heal th and accidents Protect your hearing from high volume levels. Permanent hearing dam- age may occur when headphones are used at high volume levels for long periods of time. Sennheiser headphones sound exceptionally good at low and medium volume levels. Keep the headphones at least 10 cm/3.94” from cardiac pacemakers or i m planted defibrillators. The headphones contain magnets that gener- ate a magnetic field which could cause interference with cardiac pace- makers and implanted defibrillators. Keep the product, accessories and pac k aging parts out of reach of chil- dren and pets to prevent accidents and choking hazards. Do not use the product in situations which require special attention (e.g. in traffic or when performing skilled jobs). Preventing damage to the product and malfunctions Always keep the product dry and do not expo se it to extreme tempera- tures to avoid corrosion or deformation. The normal operating tem- perature is from 0 to 40 °C/32 to 104 °F. Use only attachments/accessories/spare parts sup p lied or recom- mended by Sennheiser. Unplug the power supply unit from the AC wall outlet if you are not going to use the product for extended periods of time. Varnish or furniture polish may degrade the feet of the transmitter, wh ich could stain your furniture. You should therefore place the trans- mitter on a non-splip pad to avoid potential staining of furniture. Do not place your headphones on a g l ass dummy head, chair armrest or similar objects for long periods as this can widen the headband and reduce the contact pressure of the headphones. Clean the product only with a soft, dry cloth.
