AVOID HEARING DAMAGE

SAFE USE

SAFE DISPOSAL

Your PocketDISH respects the current regulations for limiting the output volume of consumer audio

devices to a safe level while using the headphones that came with the PocketDISH. Permanent damage

to your ears will occur if headphones or ear buds are used at a high volume level. Over time you might

get used to a higher volume level that may sound normal, but the risk of permanent damage to your ears

is still present. Set the volume level of your PocketDISH to a safe level before permanent damage to

your ears has occurred. If you start to hear ringing in your ears, reduce the volume level or stop using

the headphones or ear buds.

Do not use headphones or ear buds while you drive. The use of headphones or ear buds can be

disruptive or distracting when you have to pay attention. Therefore the use of headphones or ear buds is

not recommended while you drive or even if you are just a pedestrian. Please note that in some areas

the use of headphones or ear buds is considered to be illegal.

Your PocketDISH has a rechargeable Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. Dispose of the PocketDISH and it’s

batteries in accordance with local regulations. Make sure the Li-Ion battery is fully discharged before

disposal to avoid the possibility of a short-induced fire after disposal.
