BEYERDYNAMIC AVENTHO 300 (01) PDF MANUAL

Only use the AVENTHO 300 as described in the manual.

Do not use the AVENTHO 300 when it is damaged.

Please also observe the relevant country-specific regulations before using the product.

High volume levels over longer listening periods can permanently damage your hearing.

Before using the AVENTHO 300, set the volume to minimum.

Only increase the volume after putting on the AVENTHO 300.

Do not use the AVENTHO 300 at high volume over a long period of time.

When listening and speaking normally using AVENTHO 300, your own voice should still be perceptible.

In case of tinnitus, reduce the volume. If necessary, consult a doctor.

Consistent high volume levels and longer listening periods can damage your hearing. Damage to hearing is irreversible. Always ensure an adequate volume level. It is advisable to keep listening periods as short as possible at high volume levels.

The AVENTHO 300 headphones drastically reduce the perception of ambient noise. Using the AVENTHO 300 in road traffic can be potentially dangerous. The user’s hearing must not be impaired to the extent that it causes road safety risks.

Do not use the AVENTHO 300 within the action area of potentially dangerous machines and tools.

Avoid using the AVENTHO 300 in situations where hearing must not be impaired, particularly in road traffic, when crossing a level crossing or on a construction site.

For reasons of hygiene, you should occasionally clean the ear and headband pads with a soft cloth moistened with water. Make sure that no water gets into the ear cups or transducers.

Do not use cleaning agents containing solvents, as these can damage the surface.

Never use a vacuum cleaner for cleaning the headphone, as this may cause irreparable damage.

As ear and headband pads are subject to natural wear and tear, it will be necessary to replace them from time to time.

Danger from heat, water and mechanical stress

Excessive heat, water and mechanical stress may cause explosion, heat, fire, smoke or fumes. Injuries and irreversible damage to the battery may result.

Do not expose the battery to excessive heat, fires or extremely low air pressure. There is a risk of explosion, fire, smoke or gas.

Do not subject the battery to mechanical stress such as crushing. This may lead to irreversible damage to the battery, explosion or injuries.

Within the A2DP profile, AVENTHO 300 supports the audio codecs SBC, AAC, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless and LC3. Only codecs that are available in the playback device can be used for audio transmission.
