Philips TAT6000 True Wireless ANC Headphones

Important Safety Instructions

Hearing Safety

Danger: To prevent hearing damage, limit your listening time at high volume levels and set the volume to a safe level. The louder the sound, the less time you can listen safely.

Ensure you follow these guidelines when using your headphones:

• Listen at reasonable volume levels for reasonable periods.
• Be careful not to continuously turn up the volume as your hearing adapts.
• Do not turn the volume up so high that you cannot hear what is around you.
• In potentially dangerous situations, you must exercise caution or temporarily discontinue use.
• Excessive sound pressure from headphones can cause hearing loss.
• Using headphones that cover both ears while driving is not recommended and may be illegal in some areas.
• For your safety, avoid distractions caused by music or phone calls in traffic or other potentially dangerous environments.

General Information

To prevent damage or malfunction:

Warning

• Do not expose the headphones to excessive heat.
• Do not drop your headphones.
• The headphones must not be exposed to dripping or splashing water. (Refer to the product's IP rating)
• Do not immerse your headphones in water.
• Do not charge your headphones when the connector or socket is wet.
• Do not use cleaning agents containing alcohol, ammonia, benzene, or abrasive substances.
• Clean your headphones regularly, especially the sound channels and microphone openings, using a clean, damp cloth to prevent buildup of substances like sweat or earwax.
• If sweat or water droplets remain in the sound channels, air vents, or microphone openings, the sound level may temporarily drop or cut out completely. This is not a malfunction. To dry the headphones thoroughly, use a soft, damp cloth. Alternatively, remove the ear tips, turn the sound channels downwards, and tap the headphones gently about five times against a dry cloth or similar surface to remove any accumulated water.
• Ensure the headphones are completely dry before charging and use. Avoid using disposable alcohol pads or other substances for cleaning.
• The integrated battery must not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunlight, fire, or the like.
• Risk of explosion if battery is replaced incorrectly. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
• The charging case cover must be closed to achieve the specified IP rating.
• Discarding the battery in a fire or hot oven, or a mechanical crushing or cutting of the battery, may result in an explosion.
• Leaving the battery in an extremely high-temperature environment may result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
• A battery subjected to extremely low air pressure may result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
• Replacing the battery with the wrong type carries the risk of serious damage to the headphones and battery (e.g., in the case of certain lithium battery types).
• If the headphones are not used for a long time, the rechargeable battery will start to lose its charge. To prevent this loss, please charge the battery fully at least once every three months.

To prevent fire hazard, the equipment should be powered only from a power source that complies with the output of PS1 (output capacity of 15W or less).

Operating and storage temperatures and humidity

• Store in a place where the temperature is between -20°C and 50°C and the relative humidity is up to 90%.
