Precautions
The unitThis unit uses the 2.4 GHz radio frequency 
band (Bluetooth). However other wireless 
equipment may use the same frequency. Be 
sure to take note of the following to prevent 
radio wave interference from other equipment.
Restriction of use
For use only in your country.
Range of use
The range of use is up to approximately 10 m 
(33 ft.). The range may be less depending on 
the structure of the building, the environment 
and any obstacles between the receiver and 
the transmitter. Such obstacles as reinforced 
concrete walls and metal doors, in particular, 
obstruct the transmitter’s signals.
Interference from other equipment
Due to radio interference, malfunctions such as 
sound distortion may occur if the unit is placed 
too close to other equipment. We recommend 
keeping the unit as far away as possible from 
the following devices:
■
■
■
Bluetooth devices other than this unit, wireless 
LAN, microwaves, office automation devices, 
digital cordless telephones and other electronic 
devices
The unit is designed to automatically avoid 
radio interference from these household 
devices. However the sound will be broken 
when radio interference occurs.
Using the unit
●  Do not drop, hit or otherwise subject the 
transmitter or receiver to strong shocks of 
any kind. This may cause damage.
●  Do not expose the unit to water or other 
liquids as it may cause damage.
●  Do not use near microwave ovens, 
pacemakers or other industrial, chemical or 
medical equipment.
●  Do not use inside an aircraft, as this may 
compromise the safety of the aircraft.
●  Keep the ear pads, out of the reach of children 
to prevent them from being swallowed.
