SATELLITE Premium Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones with Audiophile Amp
Do You Really Want to Hurt Me? Do not use headphones while it is unsafe to do so: while operating a vehicle, walking on the sidewalk, crossing the street, or during any activity that requires your full attention. It is dangerous to operate a vehicle while wearing headphones, even if audio is not being produced, and is illegal in many locations. Avoid hearing damage by making sure the volume on your music player is turned down before connecting this device, either by wire or Bluetooth®.
Safety Dance In extreme environmental conditions, or in cases of abuse or misuse, a lithium-ion battery pack can cause explosion, fire, heat generation, smoke or gas. Charge your device using only the method described by Blue in the user guide. Charge the device at ambient temperatures between 50-100F, 10-40C, (+/- 5). Do not heat above 60C/140F. Do not attempt to replace the rechargeable battery.
