Hearing safety
Danger
To avoid hearing damage limit the time you use
the headphones at high volume and set the
volume to a safe level.The louder the volume
the shorter is the safe listening time.

One of Philips leading Business Principles
is to take all necessary health and safety
measures for our products, to comply with
all applicable legal requirements and to stay

Philips is committed to develop, produce
and market products that cause no adverse
health effects.
Philips confirms that if its products are
handled properly for their intended use,
they are safe to use according to scientific
evidence available today.

•
•
Listen at reasonable volumes for reasonable
periods of time.
Be careful not to adjust the volume
continuously upwards as your hearing adapts.

discontinue use in potentially hazardous
situations.

Learn about FullSound
FullSound is a smart digital sound enhancement
algorithm, which runs on a powerful processor
inside your Bluetooth headset.
Your Bluetooth stereo headset can connect to
•
one Bluetooth audio device (supporting the
A2DP and AVRCP Bluetooth profile) and
one Bluetooth communication device
(supporting HFP or HSP Bluetooth profile) at
the same time.
•
It restores and enhances bass, treble, stereo
effects and dynamics of compressed music
and leads to a more natural,“real life” sound
experience based on years of acoustic research
and tuning.
Therefore you can connect your Bluetooth
stereo headset
•
with a Bluetooth stereo enabled phone to
both listen to music and lead calls, or
with a Bluetooth phone that does not
support Bluetooth stereo (A2DP) to lead
calls and at the same time to a Bluetooth
audio device (Bluetooth enabled MP3 player,
Bluetooth audio adapter etc.) to listen to
music. Make sure to pair the phone first
with your Bluetooth headset, then turn both
the phone and headset off to then pair the
Bluetooth audio device.
The FullSound feature decreases music playing
time by less than 10% if activated. The feature
is activated when you buy the product, to
•
turn FullSound off or on hold
and
simultaneously for 4 seconds.You will hear one
short beep after turning FullSound on, and two
short beeps after turning FullSound off.
11. 4 Automatic power saving
If your headset cannot find any Bluetooth device
to connect to in range within five minutes it will
automatically power down to save battery life.
With the SwitchStream feature you can listen to
music and monitor your calls at the same time.
Even while listening to music, you will hear a ring
tone when receiving a call and can switch to the
call simply by tapping the button.
