Continuous exposure to loud noise may result in permanent hearing loss. The louder the volume, the shorter the time in which hearing loss may occur. If you listen to large volume sound over a long period of time, your ears will become accustomed to it. This creates the illusion that the volume level is appropriate, despite the fact that it may be damaging your hearing. Observe the following to prevent hearing loss. CAUTION

1. Make sure you give your ears a rest by taking

regular breaks and not listening for long periods of time. Even when set at safe volume levels, listening continuously over long periods of time may cause hearing loss.

2. Be careful not to increase the volume as your

hearing adapts to the sound output. Beware of being accustomed to a certain volume level. Adjust the volume to a safe level before your ears become accustomed to loud volumes.

3. If your ears begin to ring, if you feel any

discomfort, or if conversation seems faint or indistinct, discontinue listening to music and have your ears examined by a doctor.

Unexpected problems may result in the loss or corruption of data stored in smartphones and other peripheral equipment connected to the radio. With this possibility in mind, a backup of the data should always be made in advance. Note that metabo HPT cannot be held responsible for the corruption or loss of data stored within smartphones and other peripheral equipment connected to the radio, nor any damage to the equipment itself.

How to make the batteries perform longer (1) Recharge the batteries before they become completely exhausted. When you feel that the power of the tool becomes weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery. If you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric current, the battery may be damaged and its life will become shorter. (2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures. A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate, and the battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery and recharge it after it has cooled for a while. CAUTION

When the battery charger has been continuously used, the battery charger will be heated, thus constituting the cause of the failures. Once the charging has been completed, give 15 minutes rest until the next charging.

If the battery is charged while it is heated because it has been left for a long time in a location subject to direct sunlight or because the battery has just been used, the pilot lamp of the charger lights for 1 second, does not light for 0.5 seconds (off for 0.5 seconds). The battery will not be recharged. In such a case, let the battery cool before charging.

When the pilot lamp fl ickers (at 0.2-second intervals), check for and take out any foreign objects in the charger’s battery connector. If there are no foreign objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service Center. USE
