English CAUTIONS Simultaneous use with other devices Failure, such as the interruption of sound, may be caused by radio wave interference from devices that use the same frequency band (2.4GHz) as the headphones, including Bluetooth-enabled devices, devices using wireless LAN, digital cordless phones and microwaves. Similarly, because radio waves of the headphones may affect these devices, take the following precautions: - Install the devices using the same frequency band (2 .4GHz) away from the headphones. - Do not use the product in hospitals, trains and aircrafts. Instructions for Use Any device which is connected to the headphones, needs to meet the Bluetooth standards established by Bluetooth SIG and be certied. Even if the device meets the Bluetooth standards, it might not connect to the headphones, or the operation method and behavior may differ depending on the device's characteristics and specication. This function works by picking up ambient noise from the surroundings (such as vehicle noise or noise from air conditioning units) using the miniature microphone that is built into these headphones, and generating opposite phase noise to cancel out the ambient noise. The result is a substantial reduction in the amount of ambient noise you can hear. Active Noise-Cancelling Function *The noise-cancelling function of this device mainly operates to reduce noise at 300Hz or lower, which means it has almost no effect on noise that is above this frequency (such as telephone ringtones and voices). *This function does not cancel all noise. *Effectiveness of the noise-cancelling function may be limited when used in a quiet location or depending on the type of noise. *A hissing noise can be heard when the NC switch is turned on. This is the sound of the noise-cancelling function operating, and is not a malfunction.4 English Part names and functions ■ Headphone parts Noise-cancelling microphone installation section Housing L / RThe left earpiece has a protruding part.
