    • near automatic doors or a fire alarm
  • This product emits radio waves when used in wireless mode.
    When used in wireless mode on an airplane, follow flight crew directions regarding permissible use of products in wireless mode.
  • Due to the characteristic of the wireless technology, the sound played on this headset is delayed from the sound and music played on the transmitting device. Therefore, the image and sound may be misaligned when viewing a movie or playing a game.
  • This headset supports security capabilities that comply with the Bluetooth standard to provide a secure connection when the Bluetooth wireless technology is used, but security may not be sufficient depending on the setting. Be careful when communicating using Bluetooth wireless technology.
