Last, but Not Least

Battery Do not disassemble, drop, crush, or expose the battery to fire or temperatures

above 212° F (100° C). Stop using the battery if it appears damaged in any way. Replace

the battery only with an Apple-authorized battery for this product. Dispose of used

batteries promptly according to your local environmental guidelines.

Hearing damage Permanent hearing loss may occur if earbuds or headphones are

used at high volume. You can adapt over time to a higher volume of sound that may

sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing. If you experience ringing in your

ears or muffled speech, stop listening and have your hearing checked. The louder the

volume, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected. Hearing

experts suggest that to protect your hearing:

 Limit the amount of time you use earbuds or headphones at high volume.

 Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.

 Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.
