IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!

We recommend thoroughly reading all the instructions in this manual,
and that you keep it somewhere safe for future reference.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1) READ these instructions.
2) KEEP these instructions.
3) RESPECT all the warnings.
4) FOLLOW all the instructions.
5) In order to avoid damaging your hearing, do not listen to headphones
at high volumes for extended periods of time.
Listening to a portable stereo at high volumes can cause damage to the
user's ears and may lead to hearing problems (temporary or permanent
deafness, buzzing in the ears, tinnitus, hyperacusis).
It is strongly advised not to listen to a portable stereo at full volume or
for more than one hour per day at an average volume.
Don't use the headphones continuously, take frequent breaks. Pay
particular attention to children and teenagers who use these devices at
a younger age and often at excessive volume.
6) If you begin to hear buzzing or ringing in the ears (tinnitus),
experience a loss of hearing or 'muffled' hearing, stop using the
headphones immediately. If the symptoms continue after a few
hours, consult an ENT doctor immediately. In some cases, immediate
treatment may avoid permanent hearing problems.
Exposure to excessive volumes (over 85dB) for more than one hour can
cause irreparable damage to your hearing.
7) Set the volume to minimum before connecting your
Focal headphones, then turn up the volume. Once the
headphones are in place, gradually increase the volume
to a comfortable and reasonable level. Always use the
headphones with the protective ear cushions or tips.
(CEI 60417-6044)
8) NEVER drive a vehicle (car, motorbike, boat...) or ride a bike while
wearing the headphones. Not only is this behaviour dangerous, it is
also illegal. In some countries, a breach of the highway code for driving
without due care and attention (if the driver's concentration is reduced
in any way) may result in a penalty.
We advise against wearing the headphones while riding a bike, running,
walking or carrying out any other activities in busy places. If you do
wear the headphones in such places,set to a low volume so you can
hear surrounding noises, including horns, alarms and warning signals.
Generally speaking, reducing your chances of hearing surrounding
noises poses a threat to yourself and to others.
9) NEVER use the headphones as ear defenders.
10) If you feel the headphones heat up or if there is a loss of the audio
signal, remove the headphones and disconnect immediately.
11) Do not install the device close to a heat source such as a radiator,
cooker, heat vent or any other appliance (including amplifiers) that
gives out heat.
12) Never leave your headphones exposed to humidity and never
submerge them in water.
13) The headphones do not require any particular cleaning. If necessary,
clean with a dry, soft duster. Do not use cleaning products containing
solvents.
14) Entrust any repairs or maintenance to a qualified professional.
Repair or maintenance may be required in case of any kind of damage
(spillages, damaged cable, exposure to rain, if the device is dropped
etc.).
