WARNINGS AND COMPLIANCE
Important Safety Instructions
1. READ these instructions.
2. KEEP these instructions.
3. HEED all warnings.
4. FOLLOW all these instructions.
5. DO NOT use this apparatus near water or moisture.
6. If you hear ringing or experience pain or discomfort in your ears during or
after using any in-ear audio product, that is a sign you are listening too loud.
When your ears are exposed to high volumes (in excess of 85dB) for over an
hour, you may be permanently damaging your hearing.
7. TURN DOWN your listening device’s volume to zero before you insert the
Klipsch headphones and turn on the device. Once you have the headphones
on, gradually increase the volume to a comfortable, moderate volume.
8. DO NOT install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. ONLY USE attachments/ accessories specified by the manufacturer.
10. REFER all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required
when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply
cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into
the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.
11. NEVER operate a motor vehicle while listening to or wearing your
headphones. Not only dangerous, it is illegal in many places.
12. NEVER operate heavy machinery while listening to or wearing your
headphones.
13. We don’t recommend you use the headphones while riding a bicycle, running,
or walking in heavy traffic areas.
WARNING:
Except in case of emergency, Klipsch recommends you do not use these
headphones or headsets (headphones plus microphone) as aviation
communication equipment as they are not engineered for many environmental
conditions common in commercial or non-commercial aircraft (including, but not
limited to: altitude, temperature, noise conditions, unpressurized aircraft, etc.)
resulting in possible interference to critical communications. The Occupational
Safety Health Administration (OSHA) has issued headphone usage
recommendations for maximum daily exposure and sound pressure levels
(measured in decibels (dB)). A decibel is a unit of measure of sound, and decibels
increase exponentially as sound gets louder. For example, conversational speech
is typically around 60dB, and a rock concert in a stadium is often about 110dB.
