Always include this instruction manual when passing the product on to third parties. Do not use an obviously defective product. Preventing damage to health and accidents Protect your hearing from high volume levels. Permanent hearing dam-

age may occur when headphones are used at high volume levels for long periods of time. Sennheiser headphones sound exceptionally good at low and medium volume levels. Keep the headphones at least 10 cm/3.94 from cardiac pacemakers or implanted defibrillators. The headphones contain magnets that gener-

ate a magnetic field which could cause interference with cardiac pace-

makers and implanted defibrillators. Keep the product, accessories and packaging parts out of reach of chil-

dren and pets to prevent accidents and choking hazards. Do not use the product in situations which require special attention

(e.g. in traffic or when performing skilled jobs). Preventing damage to the product and malfunctions Always keep the product dry and do not expose it to extreme tempera-

tures to avoid corrosion or deformation. The normal operating tem-
