Safety and handling
Important safety information
Handle AirPods and case with care. They
contain sensitive electronic components,
including batteries, and can be damaged or
cause injury if dropped, burned, punctured,
crushed, disassembled, or if exposed to
excessive heat or liquid. Don’t use damaged
AirPods or case.
Bluetooth®
To turn off Bluetooth on AirPods, put them in
the case and close it.
Batteries
Don’t attempt to replace AirPod or case
batteries yourself—you may damage the
batteries, which could cause overheating
and injury.
Lightning cable and connector
Avoid prolonged skin contact with the
connector when the Lightning to USB Cable
is plugged into a power source, because it
may cause discomfort or injury. For example,
while the case is charging using the Lightning
to USB Cable and a power adapter plugged
into a power source, don’t sit or sleep on the
Lightning connector or place it 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 AirPods in your ear.
For more information about hearing loss
and how to set a maximum volume limit,
see www.apple.com/sound.
WARNING: To prevent possible
hearing damage, do not listen at
high volume levels for long periods.
