If the noise continues, there may be interference

on your phone itself, and any noise in the phone’s

connection will come through on the headset, too.

Transfer the call to your phone and see if the audio

quality improves. If it doesn’t, look around for things

that can interfere with your phone.

Safety and HandlInG

InformatIon

cleaNiNg tHe HeadSet

free cloth with water or a cleaner specially designed

for electronics, and gently wipe the headset clean.

Do not expose this product to liquid (water, alcohol,

etc.) or submerse in liquid for any reason.

avoidiNg HeariNg damage

Using any headset or earbud at too high a volume can

cause permanent hearing damage. To reduce the risk

of hearing damage:

Set the volume at the minimum level needed to

hear in the current environment. If possible, use

your headset in quiet surroundings or try to move to

an area with less background noise before adjusting

the volume.

Start with the volume at its lowest setting, then

gradually increase it until you can hear.

Turn the volume down before powering off the

headset and readjust the volume each time you

turn it on.

If someone next to you can hear the other end of the

call through your headset or if your ears hurt or ring

when you hang up, the volume is too high.

The longer your ears are exposed to noise, the

greater the risk of damage. Limit calls at higher

volumes (or other exposure to loud noise).
