Excessive heating can damage the headset or the
battery and could cause the headset or the battery
to explode. Do not dry a wet or damp headset with an
appliance or heat source such as a microwave oven,
hair dryer, iron or radiator. Avoid leaving your headset
in a car in high temperatures.
• In the event of a battery leak, do not allow the liquid to
come in contact with the skin or eyes. If contact has
been made, wash the affected area with large amounts
of water and seek medical advice.
• Always ensure that the headset has adequate
ventilation and air flow while in use or charging.
Covering the headset with materials that significantly
affect air flow may affect its performance and poses
a possible risk of fire or explosion.
• Your headset and power adapter (if provided)
comply with applicable limits for industry surface
temperature standards. To prevent potential low-
temperature burns from prolonged direct contact,
avoid direct skin contact with your power adapter for
long periods of time when charging, or when plugged
into a power source. Ensure the power adapter is in a
well-ventilated area, when in use. Do not place adapter
under a pillow, blanket or part of your body. Users with
special medical or physical conditions that impair the
ability to detect heat against your skin should take
special care when using the device or charging with
the power adapter. Follow any thermal warnings and
advisory that may appear on your device’s screen.
• Dispose of your headset and battery properly. Do
not dispose of the headset or battery in a fire or
incinerator, as the battery may explode when
overheated. Dispose of separately from household
waste. Refer to

for proper
maintenance, replacement, and disposal of your
headset.
Headset Temperature
• It is important to check the temperature of
your headset as front surfaces may get hot.
It is normal for your headset to feel warm to the
touch while in use or while charging. Prolonged skin
contact with a headset that is hot to the touch may
produce skin discomfort or redness, or low
temperature burns. If your headset feels hot to the
touch or is uncomfortably warm, stop using or
charging it, and allow it to cool down.
Repetitive Stress Injury
Using the device may make your muscles, joints,
neck, hand(s), or skin hurt. If any part of your body
becomes tired or sore while using the headset or its
components, or if you feel symptoms such as tingling,
numbness, burning or stiffness, stop and rest for
several hours before using it again. If you continue to
have any of the above symptoms or other discomfort
during or after use, stop use and see a doctor.
