USER MANUAL Amiron Wireless BEYERDYNAMIC

Thank you for choosing Amiron wireless headphones with Bluetooth

wireless technology. For your best possible listening experience, you will find a comprehensive description on how to use your Amiron wireless.

Safety instructions Caution: When you connect the headphones, please make sure that the volume level is set to minimum. Adjust the volume level only after putting on the headphones. We would like to point out that excessively high volumes and long listening times may cause hearing damage. Hearing defects always constitute an irreversible impairment of hearing ability. Always ensure an adequate volume level. It is advisable to keep listening times as short as possible at high volume levels. This also shows an example from working life: According to occupational regulations for safety and health the noise exposure should not exceed 85 dB (low volume) when working with an allowed time of listening of 8 hours at maximum. If the volume is increased by 3 dB, the allowed time of listening is halved, i.e. with 88 dB the time of listening is 4 hours, with 91 dB 2 hours and so on. The beyerdynamic MIY App allows you to personalise your Amiron wireless. The App’s tracking function allows to use the Amiron wireless so that the headphones will not ex- ceed a maximum of acoustic impact (“noise”) that is calculated from common, general findings. Please note that the Amiron wireless and the MIY App can only register noise impact that is created by the headphones themselves; other, external sources of noise such as construction noise, concerts, etc. can of course not be considered in the calculation of acoustic impact. Therefore, the Amiron wireless and the MIY App do not offer a summary of the entire exposure of your hearing. The MIY App only displays the acoustic load that is wirelessly transmitted via the Amiron wireless and allows to limit it to acceptable levels. Danger to life! Headphones drastically reduce perception of external sounds. Using headphones in road traffic can be potentially dangerous. The user’s hearing must not be impaired to the extent that it causes road safety risks. Please also make sure that you do not use the in-ear headphones within an area of potentially dangerous machines and tools. Risk of injury! Avoid sudden movements when using wired headphones. You might seriously hurt yourself especially if you wear piercings, earrings, glasses, etc., where the wire can get caught.english Amiron wireless – Headphones

Playback device settings for your best wireless sound To achieve your best possible sound via Bluetooth

wireless technology with Amiron wireless, you should consider the following practical hints:

Set the volume of the Amiron wireless to minimum, of the playback device to maximum. From then on, adjust the volume on the Amiron wireless only, not on the playback device. This applies only to playback devices that do not automatically synchronise the volume.

• On playback devices that automatically synchronise the volume (e.g. iPhone, iPad, various Android smartphones), the headphones volume is always identical to the volume of the playback device.

• Deactivate any audio effects that might exist in your player software.

• Ensure that aptX™ HD is switched on at the Amiron wireless, if supported by your playback device.

Grasp the ear pad at the rim and pull it off the headphone housing (refer to illu. 1). Please note that you need a little bit of physical effort. Alternatively you can use a blunt flat tool to pull it off (refer to illu. 2).

Warning: Be careful to avoid scratches or other

damages or injuries!
