BECAUSE IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ABOUT THE SAFE USE OF BLUEANT DEVICES
Protect Your Ears
All BlueAnt headsets are designed to reach volumes of up to 100
decibels. Prolonged use of a BlueAnt device at high volumes may
affect your hearing capacity. Using for extensive time periods
may result in noise induced hearing loss (NIHL).
• Hearing loss may occur if a headset is used at maximum
volumes for more than 5 minutes per day, or at medium
volumes for more than 1 hour per day.
• Exposure to sound at close range such as via an ear piece in
your ear may result in hearing loss, even at low levels.
Do not listen at high volumes. Remember that your ears will adapt
to the volume level and if you change to higher levels your ear may
feel no discomfort but damage to your hearing may be occurring.
BlueAnt Recommends That You:
• Set the volume control in a low position before putting the
headset or headphones on your ears.
• Limit the amount of time you use headsets or headphones at
high volume.
• Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
• Turn the volume down if you cannot hear people speaking near
you.
Should you experience any discomfort after using the product,
stop using it immediately. If the problem persists, contact the
retailer for advice (and seek medical assistance).
Choking Hazard
Your BlueAnt device, its packaging, and package contents may
contain parts that may be a choking hazard to small children.
Please ensure that the device and any associated components
such as ear gels or chargers are stored safely and that any
packaging or unwanted contents are disposed of thoughtfully.
Do not place the product on the fl oor or leave it in a place where
young children could access it, or someone could trip over it.
Using Ear Gels
Your BlueAnt headset will come with ear gels or foam tips that are
designed to provide a secure fi t in your ear while providing high
quality audio.
• Ear gels and tips are designed to sit comfortably in your ear
and should not be forced into your ear at any time. If you have
trouble fi tting the ear gel or foam please refer to the owner’s
manual for correct insertion and usage information.
• Always make sure that the ear gel or foam is fi tted securely to
your device before placing it in your ear.
Note that non-compliance, misuse or forcing the ear gel or
foam may cause damage to your ear canal or eardrum, or may
otherwise cause bodily harm.
Smart Practices While Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices
and accessories such as your BlueAnt device in the areas where
you drive. Always obey them. Do not use mobile devices and
accessories in areas where their use is prohibited or restricted.
Your BlueAnt device lets you communicate by voice—almost
anywhere, anytime, wherever wireless service is available and
safe conditions allow. When driving a car, driving is your fi rst
responsibility.
If you choose to use your Bluetooth device while driving,
remember the following tips:
• Get to know your BlueAnt device and its features such as speed
dial and redial. These features help you to place your call
without taking your attention off the road.
• Position your mobile device within easy reach. Be able to access
your mobile device without removing your eyes from the road. If
you receive an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible,
let your voice mail answer it for you.
• Let the person you are speaking to know you are driving; if
necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffi c or hazardous
weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and heavy traffi c can
be hazardous.
• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving.
Remember that your primary responsibility is driving safely.
• Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may
be distracting. Make people you are talking to aware you are
driving and suspend conversations that can divert your attention
away from the road.
• Use your mobile device to help others in emergencies. In
the case of fi re, traffi c accidents, medical or other serious
emergencies, dial the local emergency number.
• Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless
assistance number when necessary. If you see a broken-down
vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffi c signal, a
minor traffi c accident where no one appears injured, or a
vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or
another special non-emergency wireless number.
Care and Handling
Your BlueAnt Bluetooth device is a precision engineered
instrument. To ensure its ongoing performance, you should look
after it as you would any quality consumer electronic product, and
use it in accordance with the instructions.
BlueAnt recommends that you take the following precautions.
• Avoid leaving your device in direct sunlight, such as on the dash
or console of a car or truck. Always place it in your car glove
box, your pocket, or take it with you.
• Do not leave your device, or use your device, in any area
where the temperature may exceed 60 degrees Centigrade
(140 degrees Fahrenheit), such as inside a closed car on a
hot day. Remember that on a hot day the temperature inside
a closed car may be signifi cantly higher than the outside air
temperature.
• Do not leave your device, or use your device, in any area where
the temperature is likely to drop below 0 degrees Centigrade (32
degrees Fahrenheit).
• Do not leave your device, or use your device, in any area exposed
to humidity, dust, soot, other foreign objects, smoke, or steam
as this may cause your device to malfunction.
• Do not use any household or industrial grade detergents or
cleaners to clean your device. If your device becomes dirty or
smeared, in most instances a wipe with a dry or slightly damp
cloth should be suffi cient to clean it.
• Do not leave your Bluetooth device plugged into a wall or car
charger for long periods after it is fully charged. While battery
technology has continued to improve such that overcharging
should not affect performance, BlueAnt does not recommend
long periods of continued charging.
• Before charging your BlueAnt device, make sure that the AC
outlet, adaptor and cable are not damaged. If you notice any
abnormalities, seek advice from a qualifi ed professional.
• Your BlueAnt device is not waterproof and should be removed
and placed in a dry area in the event of being exposed to any
drizzle, rain or water.
• If traveling internationally, ensure that your BlueAnt wall or
car power adapter is approved for use in the country where you
plan to use it and that the adapter voltage is suited to the local
power supply.
• Should a fault develop with your BlueAnt product, contact
BlueAnt for advice on how to proceed. Do not attempt to repair
or alter any BlueAnt product yourself.
Approved Accessories
The use of accessories not approved by BlueAnt, including but
not limited to batteries, antennas, wall adapters, car chargers,
ear gels and foam tips and convertible covers, may cause your
BlueAnt device to malfunction or in the case of non-approved
electrical accessories may cause the device to exceed RF energy
exposure guidelines.
Use of non approved accessories will void your device’s warranty.

Electromagnetic Interference
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic
interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise
confi gured for electromagnetic compatibility.
Similar to a mobile phone, your BlueAnt device is a low power
transmitter / receiver and is covered by regulations pertaining to
such devices. Turn off your BlueAnt device in any facility where
posted notices instruct you to do so. These facilities may include
hospitals or health care facilities that may be using equipment
that is sensitive to external RF energy.
• When instructed to do so, turn off your BlueAnt device when
on board an aircraft. Any use of a mobile device must be
in accordance with applicable regulations and airline crew
instructions.
• Some Bluetooth devices may interfere with some hearing aids.
In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your
hearing aid manufacturer or physician to discuss alternatives.
• If you use any other personal medical device, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from RF energy. Your doctor or physician may be able
to assist you in obtaining this information.
• If you are in doubt about whether your BlueAnt device or
mobile phone can be safely turned on or used, please consult
an authorized person in the location you want to use your
BlueAnt device. If no authorized person is available or you
remain uncertain, BlueAnt recommends that you turn off
your Bluetooth device and any mobile phones unless they are
required in an emergency situation.
