• Sound can be deceiving. Over time your
hearing ‘comfort level’ adapts to higher
volumes of sound. So after prolonged
listening, what sounds ‘normal’ can actually
be loud and harmful to your hearing. To
guard against this, set your volume to a safe
level before your hearing adapts and leave
it there.
To establish a safe volume level:
• Set your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can
hear it comfortably and clearly, without
distortion.
Listen for reasonable periods of time:
• Prolonged exposure to sound, even at
normally ‘safe’ levels, can also cause hearing
loss.
• Besuretouseyourequipmentreasonably
and take appropriate breaks.
Be sure to observe the following guidelines
when using your headphones.
• Listen at reasonable volumes for
reasonable periods of time.
• Be careful not to adjust the volume as your
hearing adapts.
• Do not turn up the volume so high that
you can’t hear what’s around you.
• You should use caution or temporarily
discontinue use in potentially hazardous
situations. Do not use headphones while
operating a motorized vehicle, cycling,
skateboarding,etc.;itmaycreateatrafc
hazard and is illegal in many areas.

Australia: Our Goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are
entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss
or damage. You are also entitled to have the Goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality
and the failure does not amount to a major failure. This is not a complete statement of your legal rights as a consumer.
New Zealand: Our Goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993.
This guarantee applies in addition to the conditions and guarantees implied by that legislation.
Additional Warranty:
In addition to the rights and remedies that you have under the Australian Consumer Law, Consumer Guarantees Act
of New Zealand or any other applicable law, we provide the following warranty against defects:
1. If, during the first 12 months from their date of purchase from the Supplier (Warranty Period), the Goods prove
defective by reason of improper workmanship or materials and none of your statutory rights or remedies apply, we
will repair or replace the Goods without charge.
2. We do not have to repair or replace the Goods under this Additional Warranty if the Goods have been used for a
commercial purpose; misused, improperly or inappropriately installed, operated or repaired; abused; damaged; or
not maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Even when we do not have to repair or replace the Goods, we may decide to do so anyway. In some cases, we
may decide to substitute the Goods with a similar alternative product of our choosing. All such decisions are at
our absolute discretion.
4. All such repaired, replaced or substituted Goods continue to receive the benefit of this Additional Warranty for the
time remaining on the original Warranty Period.
5. This Additional Warranty is limited to repair, replacement or substitution only. As far as the law permits, we will not
be liable for any loss or damage caused to property or persons arising from any cause whatsoever.
6. In order to claim under this Additional Warranty you must telephone us on 1300 363 391 in Australia or 0800 658
224 in New Zealand within the Warranty Period. You will be asked for details of the Goods, a description of the
defect and your personal details. Upon accepting your claim, we shall assist you with either returning the Goods to
the Supplier for replacement or to the most convenient Philips Authorised Service Centre for your Goods to be
repaired. In some case we may require that you return to the Goods to us (at the address below) for repair,
replacement or substitution.
∗ All returned Goods must be accompanied by satisfactory proof of purchase which clearly indicates the name and
address of the Supplier, the date and place of purchase and identifies product. It is best to provide a legible and
unmodified receipt or sales invoice.
∗ You must bear any expense for return of the Goods or otherwise associated with making your claim under this
Additional Warranty.
7. This warranty is only valid and enforceable in Australia and New Zealand.
