The Box

ORE FIRST OPERATION, FULLY CHARGE THE BATTERY!

ON/OFF

Switch on the product by a long press at the ON/OFF-button located at the nose. The box can be used after it makes a short woof sound.

Headphones

By connecting headphones (not included in delivery content) to the 3,5 mm socket, the loudspeaker will be muted. The volume can be controlled via the ears of the box.

PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN FROM HEARING IMPAIRMENT

»Depending on the head- or earphones, high volume levels can be produced which may lead to permanent hearing impairment due to sustainable usage!
» Children should be supervised all the time during usage and not use headphones on high volume and for a longer time period.
»Determine and retain a pleasant volume level. As the hearing gets accustomed to a certain volume level and the volume perceived by the human ear decreases over time, there is a tendency to increase the volume regularly. This procedure will inevitably lead to hearing impairment.
» The higher the volume levels are set, the faster the hearing of your child will be damaged.
