Safety precautions

Although this product was designed to be used safely, failing to use it correctly may result in an accident.

• Follow applicable laws regarding headphone use if using headphones while driving.
• Do not use the product in places where the inability to hear ambient sound presents a serious risk (such as at railroad crossings, train stations, and construction sites).
• To prevent damage to your hearing, do not raise the volume too high. Listening to loud sounds for an extended period may cause temporary or permanent hearing loss.
• Discontinue use if skin irritation results from direct contact with the product.
• Do not disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the product.
• Be careful to avoid pinching yourself between the housing and the arm of the product.

Notes on use

• To ensure compatibility and correct usage, always consult the user manual of any device before connecting the product to it.
• Audio-Technica will not be liable in any way for any loss of data in the unlikely event that such losses should occur while using the product.
• The product is designed to easily dissipate noise to the outside. On public transport systems or in other public places, keep the volume low so as not to disturb other people.
• Minimize the volume on your audio device before connecting the product in order to avoid hearing damage from sudden exposure to excessive volume.
• When using the product in a dry environment, you may feel a tingling sensation in your ears. This is caused by static electricity accumulated on your body, not by product malfunction.
• Do not subject the product to strong impact to avoid electric shock, malfunction, or fire.
• Do not store the product under direct sunlight, near heating devices, or in a hot, humid, or dusty place to avoid malfunction. And do not allow the product to get wet.
• When the product is used for a long time, the product may become discolored due to ultraviolet light (especially direct sunlight) or wear.
• The cable may become caught or severed if the product is placed in a bag without adequate protection. Store it in the included pouch.
• Connect/disconnect the included cable by holding the plug. Pulling directly on the cable can result in a broken wire and the risk of electric shock.
• Do not wrap the included cable around a rack, furniture, or other object. Do not allow the cable to be pinched. This may damage or sever the cable.

Care

Get into the habit of regularly cleaning the product to ensure that it will last for a long time. Do not use alcohol, paint thinners or other solvents for cleaning purposes.

• Use a dry cloth to clean the headphones.
• After using the included cable, clean it with a dry cloth if sweat or dirt is present. Failure to clean the cable may cause it to deteriorate and harden over time, resulting in a malfunction.
• Wipe the plugs on the included cable with a dry cloth if dirty. Using the plug without cleaning it can cause sound skipping or distortion.
• To clean the earpads and headpad, wipe with a dry cloth. Earpads and headpads may fade if sweat or water dries on them. If the earpads and headpad get wet, we recommend wiping them with a dry cloth and allowing them to dry in the shade.
• For long-term storage, keep the product in a well-ventilated place without high temperatures and humidity.
• The earpads and headpad deteriorate over time due to use or storage. For information about replacing earpads and headpad or other parts, or for information about other serviceable parts, contact your local Audio-Technica dealer.
