Important safety information
Hearing loss
Listening to sound at high volumes may permanently
damage your hearing. Background noise, as well as
continued exposure to high volume levels, can make
sounds seem quieter than they actually are. Check the
volume before inserting EarPods in your ears. For more
information about hearing loss and about how to set a
maximum volume limit, see apple.com/sound.
WARNING: To prevent possible hearing
damage, do not listen at high volume levels
for long periods.

Medical device interference
EarPods contain magnets and/or components and radios
that emit electromagnetic fields. These electromagnetic
fields might interfere with medical devices. Consult your
physician and medical device manufacturer for information
specific to your medical device and whether you need
to maintain a safe distance of separation between your
medical device and EarPods. Manufacturers often provide
recommendations on the safe use of their devices
around wireless or magnetic products to prevent possible
interference. If you suspect EarPods are interfering with
your medical device, stop using your EarPods.
Driving hazard
Use of EarPods while operating a vehicle is not
recommended and is illegal in some areas. Check and
obey the applicable laws and regulations on the use
of earphones while operating a vehicle. Be careful and
attentive while driving. Stop listening to your audio device
