aircraft may impair your ability to receive incoming audio communication\
s,
particularly during takeoff and climb out.
- The Bose ® AE2w Bluetooth ® headphones are not engineered for noise
conditions, altitude, temperature or other environmental conditions comm\
on
in non-commercial aircraft, resulting in possible interference to critic\
al com-
munications.

pating in water sports, i.e. swimming, waterskiing, surfing, etc.
-
Do not leave a battery on prolonged charge when not in use.
CAUTION:- Refer to the owners guide for safety related information.
- Make no modifications to the system or accessories. Unauthorized alterations
may compromise safety, regulatory compliance, and system performance.
-
Long-term exposure to loud music may cause hearing damage. It is best
to avoid extreme volume when using headphones, especially for extended
periods.
-
Use only with an agency approved power supply meeting local regulatory
requirements (ex. UL, CSA, VDE, CCC).
-
Refer to the power supply owners guide for safety related information.
