vehicle or riding a bike. It may cause a traffic  
hazard and is illegal in many areas.  
To minimize the risk of fire, explosion, or  
chemical burn, observe the following  
precautions:  
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.  
Do not use an unauthorized battery. Use only  
the rechargeable battery that came with your  
product or that is listed in the user’s guide.  
Do not use unauthorized chargers or power  
adapters. Use only chargers that came with your
