Important safety instructions

Read the instruction manual, safety guide, quick guide (depending on the package contents) carefully and completely before using the product.
Always include this instruction manual when passing the product on to third parties.
Do not use an obviously defective product.
Only use the product in environments where wireless 2.4 GHz transmission is permitted.

Preventing damage to health and accidents

Protect your hearing from high volume levels. Permanent hearing damage may occur when headphones are used at high volume levels for long periods of time.
Headphones of the Sennheiser brand sound exceptionally good even at low and medium volume levels.
Note that the headphones of the RS 195 allow you to set a higher volume than conventional headphones. This can cause hearing damage in persons with healthy hearing and especially in children.
Do not use the product in an environment that requires your special attention (e.g. when per- forming skilled jobs).
The product generates stronger permanent magnetic fields that could cause inter- ference with cardiac pacemakers, implanted defibrillators (ICDs) and other implants.
Always maintain a distance of at least 3.94″/10 cm between the product component containing the magnet and the cardiac pacemaker, implanted defibrillator, or other implant.
Do not use the product near water. Do not expose the product to rain or moisture to reduce the risk of fire or electric shock.
Keep the product, accessories and packaging parts out of reach of children and pets to pre- vent accidents. Swallowing and choking hazard.
Only use the power supply units supplied by Sonova Consumer Hearing.

Preventing damage to the product and malfunctions

Always keep the product dry and do not expose it to extreme temperatures to avoid corrosion or deformation. The normal operating temperature is from 0 °C to 40 °C/32 °F to 104 °F.
Use the product with care and store it in a clean, dust-free environment.
Do not use the product if it is obviously damaged, if it has been dropped, or if liquids or objects have entered the product. In this case, contact a qualified specialist workshop or your Sonova Consumer Hearing partner to have the product checked.
Switch off the product after use to conserve battery power. When not using the product for extended periods of time, remove the rechargeable batteries.
Unplug the power supply unit from the wall socket
– to completely disconnect the product from the power source,
– during lightning storms or
– when not using the product for long periods of time.
Always ensure that the power supply unit is
– in a safe operating condition and easily accessible,
– properly plugged into the wall socket,
– only operated within the permissible temperature range,
– not exposed to direct sunlight for longer periods of time in order to prevent heat accumulation.
Do not place your headphones on a glass dummy head, chair armrest or similar objects for long periods as this can widen the headband and reduce the contact pressure of the headphones.
Varnish or furniture polish may degrade the feet of the transmitter, which could stain your furniture. You should therefore place the transmitter on a non-slip pad to avoid potential staining of furniture.
Do not operate the product near heat sources.
Clean the product only with a soft, dry cloth.
Use only attachments/accessories/spare parts supplied or recommended by Sonova Consumer Hearing.
