Dear customer
Thank you for purchasing this product.
For optimum performance and safety, please read these instructions carefully.
The noise canceling function
Environmental noises in airplanes, trains, and buses, and noise caused by air-con-
ditioners is reduced by a third, providing a quieter listening environment. This func-
tion allows you to enjoy music without raising the volume too high, and is, therefore,
kinder to your ears.
This unit mainly reduces the annoying low frequency sounds below 1500 Hz. For
this reason, sounds with higher frequency portions, from car horns, telephones and
human voices, remain relatively intact.
