Other When disposing of the product The built-in batteries are a valuable recyclable resource. When disposing of this unit, rather than disposing of in general waste (non-combustible garbage), follow the local national laws and take to the appropriate collection point. Contact your local government organization if you are unsure of your local collection point. Refer to the specifications in this document for information about the batteries.
Other Earpiece cleaning Regular cleaning is necessary to continue using the earpieces comfortably. Earwax and other foreign matter attached to the holes of the earpieces can change the acoustic characteristics, such as making the sound smaller, and also be the cause of malfunctions. Remove the earpieces.
Page 36
Other ∫ When the earpieces are very dirty Wash the earpieces with the tips of your fingers. (Using a diluted neutral detergent in warm water is effective.) • Do not remove the sponges from the earpieces. Rinse well with clean water after washing. Put in between a soft, dry cloth, press firmly 3 to 5 times to ensure the moisture is eliminated.
