Headset safety  
To use a headset safely, please keep the  
following in mind:  
Do not play your headset at a high volume.  
Hearing experts advise against continuous  
extended play.  
Important battery precautions  
Any battery may present a risk of fire,  
explosion, or chemical burn if abused. Do not  
try to charge a battery that is not intended to  
be recharged, do not incinerate, and do not  
puncture.  
Non-rechargeable batteries, such as alkaline  
batteries, may leak if left in your product for a  
long period of time. Remove the batteries  
from the product if you are not going to use it  
for a month or more.  
If your product uses more than one battery,  
do not mix types and make sure they are  
inserted correctly. Mixing types or inserting  
incorrectly may cause them to leak.  
Discard any leaky or deformed battery  
immediately. They may cause skin burns or  
other personal injury.  
Please help to protect the environment by  
recycling or disposing of batteries according  
to federal, state, and local regulations.  
If you experience ringing in your ears, turn  
down the volume or stop using the headset.  
Do not use a headset while driving a  
motorized vehicle or riding a bike. It may  
cause a traffic hazard and is illegal in many  
areas.  
Even if your headset is an open-air type  
designed to let you hear outside sounds,  
don’t turn up the volume so high that can’t  
hear sounds around you.  
WARNING: The battery (battery or batteries or  
battery pack) shall not be exposed to excessive  
heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.  
Ecology  
Help protect the environment - we recommend  
that you dispose of used batteries by putting  
them into specially designed receptacles.

Follow the polarity markers in the battery compartment. The batteries power the clock and alarm*  
whenever the radio loses electricity. We recommend that you replace the batteries every year (or  
more often in case of multiple power outages) to avoid low battery power. Otherwise, clock and  
alarm accuracy may be affected when electricity supply is interrupted.  
* When the battery backup functions, the clock display will not light. However, the function of alarm still occurs during the power  
interruption if remaining battery power is adequate.
