nuraloop —User Manual

model: E00BPower: 5V, 0.2AWireless frequency band: 2400-2483.5 MHz

NuraLoop safety information

Read this manual before using the NuraLoop for the first time. Keep this manual handy for future reference.

The NuraLoop has been designed and tested for safety and comfort, but please note: exposure to any noise of 85 Decibels (dB) or above (approximately the same volume as a food blender) can cause gradual hearing loss. Due to the clarity and noise-canceling of the NuraLoop, you won’t need to listen to your music as loudly as with many conventional headphones.

Monitor your use. Hearing loss is a function of loudness versus time — the louder the volume, the less time you can be exposed to it. The quieter the volume, the longer you can listen. For example, 8 hours at 85 dB causes as much damage as 4 hours at 88 dB, 2 hours at 91 dB, or just 15 minutes at 100 dB.

Only use the NuraLoop with the volume set at a comfortable, moderate level.Do not listen to music at a high volume for an extended period.Be aware that reminders or warning sounds, i.e. alarms, message tones, and incoming calls, might vary while using the NuraLoop.If you experience a warming sensation or loss of hearing, remove the NuraLoop from your head immediately.If the NuraLoop emits a loud or unusual noise, stop using it and contact Nura support immediately.Due to the noise-canceling technology, do not use the NuraLoop at any time when an inability to hear may present a danger to yourself or others. For example, while driving, riding a bicycle, in a construction site, or in or near traffic.If you’re using the NuraLoop for phone calls while driving, then use caution and follow applicable laws regarding mobile phone and headphone use. Some jurisdictions impose specific limitations such as using a single earpiece while driving. Use only certified Nura cables to charge the NuraLoop.Charging the NuraLoop should be done only by following the instructions in this user manual.Do not make unauthorized alterations to this product. Any attempt to do so will void the warranty.
