CAUTION: Skin irritation
This device is made of materials commonly used in wearable consumer electronic devices. However,
certain people may develop skin irritation due to allergies or sensitivities. To reduce the risk of skin
irritation:
• Clean your device regularly.
• Avoid using lotions or other products under the portions of the device that contact your skin.
• Do not wear over injured skin.
• Where applicable, tighten the adjustment until snug, but not uncomfortably tight.
• If your skin becomes irritated, stop using device.
If symptoms are severe or persist, consult your physician.
CAUTION: Hearing safety
Frequent or extended exposure to loud noise or sounds when using a headset or headphones can cause
temporary or permanent hearing loss. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss and potential
hearing problems varies. Also, the sound volume produced by a device may vary depending on the nature
of the sound, device settings, and the headset or headphones used. As a result, there is no single volume
setting that is appropriate for everyone or for every combination of sound, settings, and equipment.
Here are a few common-sense recommendations to minimize your exposure to loud noises or sounds
when using a headset or headphones with your device:
• Minimize your time listening to loud sound. All of the sound you are exposed to each day adds up. At
maximum volume, listening to music or other content on your device with a headset or headphones
can permanently damage your hearing in 15 minutes. If you are exposed to other loud sounds also, it
takes less time listening at high volumes to cause hearing damage.
• The more time you spend exposed to loud sounds, the more likely you are to damage your hearing. The
louder the sound, the less time that is required to damage your hearing.
• Always turn the volume on your device down before plugging a headset or headphones into your
device. Set the volume loud enough to hear clearly in quiet surroundings, and no louder.
• Do not increase the volume after you start listening. Your ears can adapt over time so that high volume
sounds normal, but the high volume could still damage your hearing.
• Do not increase the volume to block outside noise. The combination of outside noise and sound from
your headset or headphones can damage your hearing. Sealed or noise-canceling headphones can
reduce outside noise so that you don’t have to turn up the volume.
• If you can’t understand someone nearby speaking normally, turn down the volume. Sound that drowns
out normal speech can damage your hearing. Even with sealed or noise-canceling headphones, you
should be able to hear nearby people speak.
• To minimize the potential for hearing damage, keep the volume low enough that you can carry on a
